Today I had my 3 month post op and according to my surgeon He doesn't think that I have cc. He explained the reason for the tightness and firmness is because I had less breast tissue on my right beast then my left, also my muscles were very tight. I also leaned after looking at my pre op photos was that my right breast was higher then my left as well to begin with. Funny, I never caught that lol My surgeon prescribed Singular 10mg 1x daily for 3 months to help relax my chest muscles. He explained that this sometimes help with the tightness but not cc since he doesn't believe I have that. He said that if anything it is too early to make that conclusion based on my pre op condition, however if no improvement within the next months by my 6 month post op then he would release the muscle and make the pocket a bit bigger. I feel so much more relieved, now all I was told to do is massage 3x's a day for 5 minutes and take the medicine. I hope that's all I need to do. I will keep everyone updated. Thanks gurls for all your help.

Well I'm almost 3 months post op on the 27th and already I think I am developing signs of cc. The left breast is nice and soft and already seemed to drop, soften and beginning to fluff, however the right boobie is still high, somewhat firm and painful at times. I have been aggressively massaging the life out of them hoping that things would change and that I would not have to have any revisions done. I contacted my Surgeon and I've made an appt with him this Fri the 21st. I am praying that he can shed some positive light to this nightmare. My right boob has gotten a bit softer, but no way does it feel normal. It feels almost like a ball in my chest and I'm so disappointed. I will keep everyone posted, wish me luck :/

I am now 2 weeks and 3 days post op. I am not sure that I am happy with my results yet :/ I know it's way too early to make any firm decision about how the end results would be, but I can surely say that I am unhappy with the size that I am. I am also not very comfortable with the left breast incision scar. My right boob as far as scaring goes is almost unnoticeable already, however my left scar is concerning me very much because the scar is somewhat raised.. like a keloid. To make matter's worse my left boob is not at all up to speed with the right one. The left breast is still high and weird looking as where my right is almost perfect!

Urgh I knew what to expect going with this procedure and I am well aware that it takes months to a full yr for things to even out, but it's scaring me that the left breast is just not right!
I told my boyfriend already that I intend on going bigger because I'm not happy with the size I am. I am pretty much the same size I was when I was wearing those dreadful over padded bras my whole life. I think after healing I'll be a full C, but that's not at all what I want to be; although the dr. did tell me that a D might not be achieved bc I had little breast tissue to begin with. I don't understand it though, because when I breastfed my 3 children I was a full D!!! I was way bigger then I am now and I'm just feeling dissapointed right now.

My experience with Dr. Heller was overall pleasant and I felt comfortable from the very first day I met him at my initial consultation. He is courteous, polite, detailed and explains everything and answers every question you have honestly. The procedure I had was a breast Augmentation. My pre op measurements were 34 b and hoping that my end result would be a 34D. MyFreeImplants.ComUpdated on 10 Aug 2012:Myfreeimplants.com Realself.com
