My procedure was fine. But I am chalking that up to being healthy and take good care of myself. Keeping up with prescribed medication and resting is key to feeling better sooner. I was laid up for a good three days, out of being careful. After that just have to take things slow and take care of yourself.

Thank you for sharing your story and doctor opinion on RealSelf. What type and size implants did you get? What was your pre op cup size? Are you still happy with your results 1 year post op? Thanks again for sharing!

I also had a lift. I had 234cc in L and R. I believe the lift gave me a cup size in itself. I went from a B to a C. A very saggy B to a very full C. I am happy, but the Dr REFUSES to see anything wrong. I've had issues w/L since 8 days post op. I got a second opinion plus the 20 Dr's that commented here on website, and have a grade 3 capsular contracture. He says,'difference of opinion'. Really? I feel like there's a baseball in my chest, but he will not listen. I have to have redone, at my own expense. I'm never going back to him again. He doesn't listen to your needs and has horrible bedside manner. He gets his money and he's done. So am I happy? I will be next year after having it fixed.

Oh this must be frustrating for you. You had good intuition from the beginning that something wasn't quite right. Hoping you can find an understanding PS who can give you the results you are seeking. Be sure to find someone who specializes in revisions. Hang in there and keep us posted on your research!
