Contracture pictue

WORTH IT$9,000
Hello my realself friends, I'm sorry that i havent been updating my profile because i have been really stressed over this implant surgery.
so... I have decided that I'm only going for one implant (2200$) because increasing the size will costs me 5.5k. that's a lot of money! ;(

So i had a capsulotomy to pull down my implant to find out i have capsular contracture. i will be having a capsulectomy and insert a new implant on the 17th of Jan. I can't wait till all these are over =( so sad

This is the 3rd revised review I'm writing for Dr.Nadia because every time I visit her, I like her more & more & more! I went to her for a breast augmentation in sep 2013, about me, I have always hated my body because I have a flat chest, I always wanted to have a breast augmentation/implants but never met the right doctor, previously went to 2 consultations in 5 years and dont feel right. I finally made up my mind & met with dr Nadia (even thought she doesn't have much online reviews, my gut told me to trust female surgeon) and I'm so happy I did. The price I paid for this implant is reasonable (8900$ included everything) considered it is in NYC. However the price you pay for include all follow up visits which is 3 days post surgery, 1 week, 4 week, 3 months and a year ... Or even life time she said! I love her! She looks so young but don't let it trick you, she's so kind and knowledgable, she seems to know what a woman want. NOT to mention her staffs, surgical. Coordinator Jackie, Nurse Maria, Nancy and especially my favorite coordinator Janet that MADE everything happened within 3 days (consultation, pre-op, surgery). They all so kind!! My implants came out so natural yet perfect for my petite size! After surgery i was in so much pain & the side effects on the medications were too much, dr nadia called me the same night and the following morning, she understood my pain & because my insurance doesnt cover the other medications, she had her staff nancy to drive by my house & gave me sample! i couldnt thank them enough! I asked myself why I waited so long yet if I didn't waited, I wouldn't have this great result from her! I will recommend her to all my friends & def. will go back if I needed any comestic surgery!

Oh my goodness, honey, I'm so sorry. I worry that I'm in the same boat, too sometimes. I still feel that my breasts look a lot like the photo you just posted, even though I talk myself into thinking they look like they're improving... The only symptom I don't have is the pain. Anyway, I've been thinking of you and hoping for the best. This will all be behind you soon and you'll look amazing and be so happy!!
Thank you dear! I'm going through a lot! :( I have no pain at at all, they weren't dropping & fluffy . She opened it up to pull it down & to find it filled w capsular contracture :(
:-(. Big hug!!
Oh I feel your pain. 4 months post I had to get a revision.. My implants never dropped. I paid $2,150 all together. Including the cost of the new implants. My friends told me I was dumb for paying the surgeon another dime, but I did it. I don't think its fair for you to pay another $5,000 for a implant swap. It's your surgeons fault that this happened... I'm sorry to be so blunt - I'm just looking out for you!
It's ok Hun, she didnt charge me a fee. The 2k was for implant, facility fee and anesthesia
Hang in there! January will be here soon enough. Sorry you are going through this. :(
Good luck on the 17th! We'll be thinking of you. Update us when you're feeling up to it. 
Hey girl, how are you? Healing from your surgery ok? I hear the second time goes a lot easier. How is your experience? xoxo.

So stress over this capsular contracture

I have been really stressed over my right implant capsular contracture.
What should I do? can anyone share their experience with me please?

1. should i have a capsulectomy and put in a brand new implant for the right side?

2. should i have a capsulectomy on my right breast & replace both implants with a bigger size. from 280cc to 350cc?

3. should i consider strattice on my right implant after capsulectomy?

Sorry you have the complication. I think the size looks cute on your since you are a slim and petite girl but if you were not happy with the size to begin with, then might as well increase the size.
Thank you :(
I agree with Yada. The size looks good on you. They fit perfect with your frame. =) Good luck.
You have to pay for the pair anyway so you might as well replace both implants with the size you are more happier with!
That's what I was thinking too. However I'm thinking my left side is good now, if I open it and replace another one, I'm risking for a cc on the left side as well
If you have to pay, you might as well just go bigger and get new ones :)

Hi. I had CC as well and decided to get the capsulectomy and have my old implants replaced with silicone. I am so flag I did. If you have to go thru another surgery, you might as well get everything you want.
hello, how did the surgery went? was it less painful compared to the first surgery? I'm sorry i have few questions to ask. I just took a look at your profile and your breast came out so pretty! how are you feeling now ?
So many decisions-hoping you make the best one. Size looks great/natural on you but if you have the $ to go a little bigger and PS doesn't believe it will cause more harm then I might. If you have to finance the upgrade then or the risks of upgrading outweigh the pro then I wouldn't do it. Keep us posted!
