5 weeks post Revision Capsulorrhaphy Surgery for Lateral Displacement - Pittsburgh, PA
UPDATED FROM Beachie
1 year 7 months post revision
WORTH IT$500
I wanted to update everyone. Everything healed very nicely with the revision. All the sutures kept everything in place. No side boob and no drooping. They are nice and soft and look very natural. My scars are almost completely gone although the area at the incision is very sensitive. My nipples are just NOW starting to get feeling again and nerve regeneration but it's happening. I would highly recommend a revision to anyone who isn't happy. Also, my boobs used to look gigantic because they were so far apart (I have a fairly narrow frame) and now with them staying put in the front I look 5 lbs thinner just because they don't stick way out on top. I have been training for a marathon and have zero issues running with them too which makes me happy..

7 months post surgery
I thought it would be nice to post a 7 month update and some photos. For the most part things look really good. A lot of sensation is starting to come back although my incision area is very TENDER still. It's been one area that actually hurts and doesn't seem to be healing as fast as before. The scar is also very dark and isn't healing with nearly the speed my original surgery did. I find this to be really odd. Anyway, overall things look good as you can see. One nipple is still off to the side a little bit but nothing worth doing surgery over and if I massage things it pulls back towards the middle. I did very little massaging which is probably why I'm still high but I am almost 43 and gravity will pull everything down so I'll just let it happen naturally. I do love that things are now nicely in place and I don't feel so huge because of the side boob!

I was reading your post. I had 425cc put in 3 yrs ago & I feel they are to big. They have bottomed out already. I thought that when I had this done they would be up there where they are suppose to be. I went back to the Dr today wanting to change to silicone & go smaller. He told me I would have to go 100cc bigger to get what I wanted. They are to heavy now I couldn't carry any bigger. Just wanted to know who u seen cause I want another opinion.

Thanks for sharing your story. I am having a revision in 5 days for lateral displacement. I am also going 125-100cc smaller and switching from moderate plus to moderate profile. I could not adjust to my big breasts and found it interferes with running, and boot camp. I am happy to hear it was a little less painful than the first time. You look great. I want mine to look like yours!

Thank you so much for this post! I will be upgrading to larger silicone implants and will need a revision for lateral displacement. You're right, it's hard to find info on this topic and I REALLY appreciate you taking the time to do this! You're breasts look amazing, I hope mine turn out that good too!!

Thanks for sharing because I also could not find much on this topic/surgery. My implants sat lower than they should have due to them falling through my breast tissue. I had to have internal sutures put in on a revision of my breast Augmentation to lower my nipples and lift my implants. My implants currently look "odd" at 8 days out, lower nipples and just odd so I'm hoping this revision goes well. I just took off my bandages at day 7 yesterday, I'm wondering if I have the same issue as you do since I wore my bandages longer than necessary and tight.
Thanks!

You look great. I'm having the same issues with my breast I'm a little over a year post op and they sit way low and to the side. How are yours doing now did the surgery last? I'm wanting to get it done also

Hi Jenni_Lynne - Actually things are great. Everything stayed completely in place since the revision and although I have not posted any updated photos everything looks very natural. I can lay flat and they no longer fall into my armpits etc. They revision was WAY worth it. They look 100% better now. I will say the incisions are still tender though but the scars are almost completely gone again. I would go back to your surgeon because he can fix that issue and I suspect it will only get worse over time if you don't!

Thank you so much for your reply!! I think yours look great and hopefully my PS will be able to fix although when I went 2 months ago he only suggested moving my left nipple to match the right which still wouldn't correct how low they fall and how far over they seem to go when lying down. I'm just ready to be happy with them and fervent self esteem back. Thank you again for replying

Well 5 weeks post surgery and things continue to...
Well 5 weeks post surgery and things continue to heal. I can sleep on my side now without pain - I really don't have any "pain" period. I'm just very careful not to lift any heavy object and to be careful putting my arms above my head etc. My scars are still a little ruddy as you run your fingers over them but they are healing. I bought BIO-OIL and have begun using that which I really like. The surgery has definitely created some nice cleavage and the breasts now sit on the "front" of my chest vs all that side boob and big gap in the middle. My only concern is the lax nipple skin area. It was not this way prior to the surgery and it sort of "hangs" a little bit on the right breast. I"m not sure what would have happened to cause that. I'm guessing they have some type of issue during surgery because of the incision being so far to my "side" of the breast and the way they sutured it maybe affected it. It's not bothering me enough to get it "fixed" anytime soon but does make things less symmetrical. Check out the 5 week post op photos.

Lol you seem like a perfectionist remember your boobs are not twins but closely related sisters that get mistaken as twins and you got a nice pair
Congrats!

Thank you for sharing your review. It is great to find someone that has went through a similar experience. When were you able to put your hands over your heads. My right arm especially hurts and I'm so stiff from not being able to stretch and do yoga. You look great!
