Had to have revision surgery two years after my initial implants due to a capsular contracture in left breast, neither breast dropping completely into place and really bad hypertrophic scarring.
The surgery itself was simple, with minimal recovery time, but the pain was worse this time in the incisions.
Initial examination if the results looks promising. They look in the correct place at least and the scars are neat. We shall see.

You were made aware cc typically repeats? Some doctors have shown promise using a dermal matrix around the implant but it's crazy - I mean crazy expensive. Some implant manufacturers also guarantee their implants won't cause cc - maybe Sientra is one? They'll pay for part of replacement surgery if bit happens. I had 5 sets in 23 years. Had cc 4 times

I assume these are unders? What are themes and old sizes, types?

They are unders. Had the exact same implants back in the second time so round moderate plus 350 and 400cc. So far so good I've had no problems 7 months after the second op.

They have majorly dropped overnight. I'm having super love for them today! Took some snaps if the scars too, which are much better than last time.

Has anyone else worn a compression band? Hurts like crazy especially when lying down and I have to wear mine fir 8 weeks :(
