WORTH IT$9,700
So it's been a few months since my second surgery (I needed it bcs I developed a capsular contracture in my right breast)...and frankly speaking, I'm not sure. As much as I like having breasts for the first time ever, I haven't slept as comfortably as I used to (pre-op), and my thoughts on the revision surgery are, shall we say - mixed. The second surgery was worth it (definitely - given that they were uneven and wonky), but I now have mixed feelings about the end result. My problem used to be that the right one never dropped, but it is now dropping much too low, and awkwardly to the side...not sure what to make of this other than to bound up my chest when I exercise. Ughhh...it's not always as simple as we tend to think it will be.

How did the second procedure work out? Did you get the results you wanted? Don't mean to pry but mow much did it the revision cost? Did it double the overall cost?

Farewell Capsular Contracture! I'm so glad for yesterday's surgery - my right breast feels so much better - I can't wait to get this surgical drain and tape removed (to see it for myself) but patience is key as they say ;) Day 2 report - all good!!!

Hi, I live in Ottawa and I'm considering going to Dr Lacey for b lift and lipo. Would you recommend him? How is he as an artist? Hope your revision went well.

Hi Marijoe - my experience was good despite the fact that my body rejected one of the implants. That said, I'm pleased with the revision and while I'm still in recovery mode, I think everything looks good now. His staff is amazing and Dr. Lacey is a good doctor. Visually the gap between my breasts is quite wide but he explained that it's because I lack the fat to fill it in...as for the size, he actually chose the 255cc based on what I told him I wanted (modest and natural looking breasts) and he made the right call - so yes, I'm happy with his work.
