Well almost 10 years August will make two years I still have cysts not pleasing and I'm gone to have to go back in and have them fix a lot of scar tissue in my left side so they need to clean that out and I'm going to have silicone instead of saline put in so they will be softer

Sad to report no change . Still confused on whether I should have surgery or not. Pushing and massages no help. Singular minimal only helped with softness. Which wasn't much.

I understand your frustration hon. I got CC one week after my revision. I went under anesthesia last week to fix it to only wake up not being done because I threw up during anesthesia before the started and had to cancel my surgery. Going back this tues. Hopefully it goes through this time :(. My dr isn't charging me a surgical fee. Just have to pay for operating room and anesthesiologist. My cc causes me pain. I'm tired of it. Does it cause u pain?

Sorry yer goin thru this and not happy, too bad the singular didn't work :( I'm a lil worried about my left too, the evil rt 1 has finally softened up but now that im not so focused on that 1 my left seems kinda hard and more shaped like a round ball on top...ugh! I did have some concerns with my left originally and he prescribed singular but I had only taken it a wk and my whole body broke out in a rash! So not even an option and I wonder if it really works anyways?! I rem reading that some PS just perscribe it to patients who've had CC after the revision just as a precaution so maybe if someone had been on it directly following the revision it may work but I have a feeling once you start to get CC all the massaging or meds in the world won't help! The trouble we go thru with these damn boobs, huh?! Can't believe yer 9mos now! Man time flies! XX

Mrs 500... That is a weird Rx to be given to avoid CC but I have heard it from several gals on here. I take it already for my allergies so I guess I am ahead of the game? Sorry that you are worried about your lefty :( I'm concerned about my Rt side... just not dropping like it should. I think we all freak out a little until we are 100% out of the woods which is like after 2 years?

I always thought yours looked so nice but I am sorry about the CC! So your MD is making you pay for the whole surgery again?? It should be covered except the anesthesia! And not only that, the manufacturer should cover the rest... I know mine have a warranty (Mentor Memory Gel). I am sure you've looked into that, but if not you should!

I saw your comment on my post. Yes, yours look like what mine is doing too. I will post a picture soon. I have my before and after pictures I can put up. Now it's different though. Ive had 2 pregnancies and I'm currently nursing so after I stop nursing I can post an updated one. I can definitely tell which is your "big" one because it has more upper pole fullness too.

wow almost 8 months
Not much of a change still don't care for them. They are not soft. I capsular contracture in my left. Which means I'm going to need more surgery. I'm torn on that. I don't want to spend anymore money cause well I don't have it. But yet I want them to look the same. Hell I'll prolly come out looking worse. Not to mention I have more cysts you can feel. Just a matter of time before they show through. This whole thing has been a nightmare. Im taking singular to help the contracture. Hope it works. I can't sleep on my stomach yet. They feel like 2 hard rocks. There is so much that the doctors don't tell you before hand. I would never have this to myself had I known what I was in for.

Your breasts are pretty even with the cc.please dont be so hard on yourself.I understand your unhappiness with them but as an unbiased observer they are beautiful.Really!I wish you good luck and if you have another rev ision I hope ànd know you will be beautiful.

I think you look great, but I know I am not in your body and hate when other people tell me how I should feel! I have a friend on here who also had a CC and was able to correct it herself, which was awesome. I am sure you have done your research and talked to tons of people, but if you want, I can let you know what she did and also get you in contact with her on here.

P.S - I take Singular for obvious other medical reasons - I never knew it could be used for other issues... how does that work for the CC?
April 25, 2015
I don't know how it works for CC either but I was prescribed it too and had an allergic reaction so started taking 800mg vitamin E instead and they do seem softer? Read it on another review...I agree that they look great jennye7! Also know what our own minds and the images we have and want are 2 totally different and sometimes life changing confidence crippling things! However you did say slight CC right! Mb talk to inkedmommy and see if there's help there, after all that's why we're all here... for eachother ;-) My CC never caused me any trouble and who knows how long I had it but just noticed they got firmer/harder after time (15yrs) total. Never any unevenness except what was natural which was a slight size difference but not enuf to compensate for. No pain either, THANK GOODNESS which is why a lot of woman have revisions. Hey don't be a stranger :) I know I've been MIA too but we all still need eachother! XXXX

I'm not sure my PS told me to srart it, its supposed to make the capsule less hard.

Hey girl. I thought I should stop by and say few words. Most of us thought our breasts look small. Don't stress it's normal to feel like that. Your breasts are beautiful and the perfect size. Look how they look under your bra. Please follow instructions from your ps. Time will tell and everything will be fine. I wish you all the best.

If you purchased the warranty I think it covers certain grades of capsular contracture (Baker Grade 3 i think). Look into your implant warranty it may help cover costs.
