I'm back! Revision needed - day 1 postoperative
WORTH IT$9,000
I had developed capsular contracture in my right breast. I noticed the right side took much longer to heal and was a bit higher than the left. Then, this past August (one year after my BA) , I noticed it was feeling hard and sore. It felt like an oval ball and always sat higher than the left. I called Dr Lista and got an appointment a few days later. He was wonderful as ever. He explained about the degree of issue in the area and recommended he remove the implant and scrape the scar tissue and then insert a fresh implant. This time I had to go under the breast instead of under my arm. This meant no drains this time (yay!) but I will likely have a visual scar since my breast doesn't sit low like some women's breasts do but really I could care less since it is only my husband and I who see them anyway.
I have been very pleased with Dr Lista and his partner, Dr Ahmad who worked with dr L for my surgery yesterday.
I am pretty looped up today so I might add more tomorrow.
For now, I am happy with what I see, time will tell!!

I'm sorry to hear that you developed a capsular contraction. My surgeon was Dr. Lista as well and I too was so happy with him as a surgeon, Brittney as my navigator and the entire team. They were so professional and put my safety at the top.
I am a year and a month post and was nodding and chuckling while reading your posts. It is exactly as you exaplained, bra shopping, right down to the constipation.... not nice. I too tried to not take the percocets without very good results I'll add. I am an RN and obviously not a very compliant patient! lol. The excercises were absoluetly excrutiating. I cried at the thought of having to do them, but they do get easier to do.
I was a 34A/AA before deflated too after children. Went with 450CC high profile and have "dropped and fluffed" to a 32 DDD. LOVE them! I laughed about your husband wanting to name the girls....my husband was planning to take his "girls" on a date!.
One of my under arm incisions took a bit longer too to heal but can barely notice it now.
I hope everything goes well for you this time around. I know Dr. Lista and his team will take good care of you.

One year anniversary and so happy!
Hey girls!!
All is well with my world. I had the surgery one year ago and other than faint lines under my arm pits (not noticeable really unless pointed out) I have zero complaints!
I feel more confident and as though I "filled" the area that for whatever reason was not filled in enough in the first place. Does that even make sense?? To me it does. I just feel like my body is as it should be. I look more feminine and less boy like in clothing and much more proportioned. I am happy that my husband is loving the results and that it is not so dramatic that others notice at all.
I have had a great year and would go through with it all again in a heartbeat!
I hope you are all well and have the courage to share your stories. I know those who came before me helped me tremendously through this forum and I hope my posts have been helpful to someone out there as well.
I will post one year photos soon.
Best wishes xo

Nine month check up, all is good!!
I saw my doctor yesterday and all has been really good!! Zero issues, feels great and could not be happier with my results. I had a complimentary facial peel that was so wonderful!
I hope you all are doing well xo

How has your recovery been so far with your revision? Did your doctor say your other side is settled in and safe from CC? Assuming you got the same type and size implant? Glad you could get this done fairly quickly. Keep us posted!
