WORTH IT$14,000
Revision day 1- I had my 2nd revision on my left breast, first was for capsular contracture and when doc did that one he opened the bottom pocket too low and not the top so my breast sat low on one side and I could actually feel the implant. So I had that done yesterday, that's a little sore.
I also had my scar revised, as you see in my pictures I had rippling on the outer edges of the scar and he failed to completely remove a. Appendix scar I had which now instead of a horizontal scar the appendix scar was standing straight up vertically.
So under general anesthesia I had both corrected.
I will try to post pics after all the bandages come off.

10/12/12 - 4 Months post op. I'm loving my results but still having a few issues. scar for the most part did flatten out, on my right side (left in mirrror) of the scar you can still see rippling the longest line is my appendix scar that instead of being horizontal like it used to be is now vertical, why he didn't remove it all together just irritates me as on that side I do have loose skin and I know it could have been removed. My scar is very low however it is affixed to my stomach wall, he said it would loosen up at 3-4 months but here we are at about 2 weeks past 4 months and its still stuck there. my belly button is a bit high, I guess he measured from the bottom or something but I have a short torso which then makes placement of it look a little off. I do have keloid scars on my belly button and above it where he removed a large birth mark from my stomach, he keeps saying it will flatten...........we shall see.
On to my boobs which I did have done, I had the a very bad case of capsular contracture where my left boob had popped up a whole 2" above the other. On September 4th I had to go in for a revision which cost me another $2100 @#@$%%%#$####!!!!!! to fix, he then made the pocket lower then the other one because he said its easier to get it back up then push it down...............ugghhhh!!!! couldn't you just make them even, so now every since that surgery I have to wear a wire bra (like the one in the pics) 24/7 to mold that boobie up to its position, when I take off the bra and massage them, the left breast sags back down, so frustrated already. So I had another boobie post op the other day and they said for faster results on making them even I can use a baseball belt very tightly under my breast 24/7 and I mean 24/7 I have to even shower with one one then afterwards lay down and change the band. they said if I do this they should be set within a week.
Overall I'm extremely happy about my results from where I came from, I'm so much more confident, I actually use a bikini on the each and haven't done so since I was 10 years old.

8 weeks post op - I haven't updated in awhile, just been so busy. so my ripples in my scar have flattened out in the middle of the scar but not at the outer edges. My scar and belly button are still very dark red/purple and my mole that they removed is starting to raise up again and I don't think he removed it correctly, supposed to dig it out rather that skim it off.
My new issue??? I have Capsular contracture on my left breast............sheesh can't anything go right, so my left breast is about 1 1/2" higher then the other and tighter pocket, I massage it about 10 times a day, they have me on a anti asma meds (supposed to soften tissue) and I'm doing steroid shots into the breast pocket, had my first one last week and need to go back every month for about 4 months but I don't know if that will work.
I've been back at the gym for about 5 weeks now, I pretty much do everything and have no restrictions.
Scar treatment - I have been using bio oil on the TT scar for about 2 weeks I don't notice any difference other than its softer and I use Mederma on my belly button and mole scar for about 2 weeks and I don't notice any change there.

I bought something similar but got tired of washing it, since it said I had to wash it every 12 hours lol. Yeah he isn't that concerned even told me not to do any scar treatment. He isn't charging me now but I'm sure if I have to have a surgical procedure I will get charged. I will just have to hope that time will fix it.
