3rd revision this year!
WORTH IT$9,600
sooo, hello! The march 12th revision ended up not working out, as the top of the implant slipped out from under the muscle. Finally, on August 26th or so, I had the third, and hopefully final revision. I have been too discouraged over the past number of months to even look at Real Self but I think I have turned a corner and I am very hopeful that the outcome will stay positive. Thank you for your caring words throughout the months.

I saw my PS today. It would seem that in fact, yes, the implant has rotated completely upside down. It would seem that the double row of stitches he put in place to revise the overly large pocket from the previous surgery have given way, making lots of room for the implant to shift. It may have been caused by sleeping on my side too soon but there is no definitive reason.
ANYHOW, he was awesome about it. He managed to manually rotate it a bit and is hoping by wearing a very supportive underwire 24-7 it will continue to right itself over the next month. I am only mildly optimistic about this happening and as a precaution, I am booked for a revision to my revision on March 12, to make a whole new pocket, as the left breast, which has a completely new pocket, is doing beautifully and I am very happy with it. All costs will be covered until we get it right but I am really thinking and hoping everything will be alright sooner rather than later. It is certainly frustrating and discouraging but I am over letting my days get ruined over it!

Kind words. Thank you. One foot in front of the other and it always seems to come together...eventually, xo.

I am so sorry to hear that!!! How does it seem to be doing now??? It's great your doctor is working with you to correct!!!! Will you have to pay anything out of pocket you need the surgery in March?

Hi, thank you for asking :) It is still upside down but I know it will be taken care of sooner, rather than later. I am pleased and relieved that my doctor is covering all costs. I am obviously going to have to wait a little longer than I initially thought for the "final" result to show but I am further ahead than what I was initially.
