Well after all this .... I got what I wanted... even boobs. Gezzzz it seems the VERY large implant stretched my tissue out so it matches my other breast. I'm happy with they look this far. I guess I can't complain

Rescheduled Surgery - July 14th (full capsule removal!) W' a Reconstructive Surgeon

After a week of complete agony over if I need to remove the complete capsule for complete healing...I came to the conclusion that YES I do need to remove the capsule despite what Dr. Melmed had told me. The fact is that if you show symptoms you are taking a huge risk if you don't take the capsules out! I am not taking this risk, I refuse to look at even the slight risk to have a third surgery. SOOO Dr. Hsiao is a breast reconstructive surgeon... ladies the best thing to do is find the best breast reconstructive surgeon in your state (IF YOU CANT GO TO DR. FENG IN OHIO OR ANY OTHER EXPLANT SPECIALIST) Dr. Hsiao sees breast cancer patients daily and he is very familiar with the en bloc procedure (removes the implant AND the capsule at one time) this is a regular procedure for him when dealing with cancer patients. He is an expert at repairing muscle as well because he provides reconstructive surgery EXAMPLE: Tram Flap on a regular basis. Ladies what I am saying is IF you need to go with a surgeon in your state and can't travel out of state to go to a specialist try interviewing a cancer reconstructive surgeon. This is the best advice I can give.
