Breast revision after 15 yrs because left side...

Breast revision after 15 yrs because left side ruptured. First had salines put in about 325/315 cc's. Loved them. Originally done in California by Dr. Bandy. Had wonderful experience. Now going to get silicone 450 or 500cc in Las Vegas, a lot nervous. I'm not sure if I want high profile or moderate.

That's great your implants lasted so long. I bet it will be nice to get a tune up especially with the rupture. With the deflation, are you needing to add some padding to your left bra cup right now? Feel free to join the June 2016 breast implant revision surgery forum to see how others like yourself are prepping for surgery or recovering. Good luck and keep us posted!

Haha I took the padding that were in my sports bra out and put them in my deflated side of my bra

Oh that's the perfect solution! I bet you can't wait to get rid of the pads though. Did you decide on your profile yet?

I think I will go with the high-profile 450 or 500cc. I just don't like the way they sit so high it first. It seems some wait a long time for them to drop and others drop right away

At least you realize that the implants do sit high for the first several months. I have seen great results with lots of patience. ;)

Surgery went well wasn't in pain, no nausea, just uncomfortable as if I lifted too heavy a weights. Dr. Crowley the anesthesiologist and Dr. Smith were amazing.

My implants are 16 yrs old, I started noticing some deflation in y left about 1.5 yrs ago...two days ago my left totally deflated! I have saline 395cc, I'm considering going to silicone as well. The biggest bummer of all this, we leave for Puerto Vallarta in 4 days!!! Can't cancel the trip so I guess I'll have deal with trying to pad up my swim suit on the left side!!!

Wow I can't believe it'll be a year here soon. How did your vacation go with one booby mine was okay.
What a difference between saline and silicone if I could do it all over again if I go back to Saline.
