Capsular contrction ...but got a 2nd opinion

So fast forward and one breast (my right side which is also the right in the photos due to the selfie phenomenon). Is higher and flatter on he bottom. I was told by the doctor it is. Capsule contraction but I got a second opinion bc I didn’t agree and the second doctor felt the scar under attached and grew scar tissue so recommended a scar revision. I agree with that so am getting that done. I will post before and after. It’s not bad but I jut dint think the contraction seemed right as it wasn’t hard etc.

So I went to my dr in nyc (dr Hidalgo). I looked...

So I went to my dr in nyc (dr Hidalgo). I looked at 100s of photos and he was the only guy that didn’t do mostly fake looking boobs.
I wanted a full B (or so I thought). The order ceases fir determining the size implants is a bit flawed as they got very you a 34b bra (equal to 32c) and have you start putting in different sizes. So, if you put in a 300cc implant and it still “fits” in the bra, you are still a “b” according to them. This is not true. So lesson one- forget the bra size. It’s irrelevant.
I decide that 255 would probably be the best. Implant although that would mean one size up for surgery which was 280 I think. I felt a little nervous it may be too big but it looked good under a shirt.
I go in for the surgery and come out and was told I got a 235 and 255 as my breast were asymmetrical. So he went SMALLER!! I have never heard of this happening ever. Needless to say, I went home and looked in the mirror and HATED THEM!
They were small, flat, too far apart etc. granted it was the first day but I wasn’t pleased.
As time went by they got better, but I still felt they were still asymmetrical and too small. I also thought they were way too far apart.
I asked him why he went smaller and why they had such a big gap and he said the bigger size was a wider implant and it did not look natural. As far r the width, he showed me my starting point and my boobs were pretty far apart. He said you cannot do much more than what your body allows.
Well as time went on they looked better, I started ed to get used to them and I go get a proper bra sizing and I am a 32D/DD! So much for the full B! Like I said, it so doesn’t matter.
It is now January, 8 mos later and I couldn’t be more happy. They are incredibly realistic and I don’t believe anyone would suspect I have implants. The size is perfect for me. While slightly bigger may have also worked. I trust he did he right thing.
I posted a question right after my procedure and several doctors answered. Many pointing out what was wrong make by me freak out. But I do t kniw how anyone can tell if they were don’t right or wrong the day out of surgery. It made me really upset.
So I have attached photos of my original boobs, the day of the implants and photos taken every month or so until today. Curious to see if you think they look as good as I do?!

Not a lot of contact with the doctor which was odd. Staff was nice but all about business. If you are looking to be coddled and have multiple visits prob not the right dr.
