I had my implants done in 2003 by Dr. Kofkoff. We went with 300cc o/f to 330cc under the muscle with a periareolar incision. 9 years and a second pregnancy later, its time for a revision. I had my original surgery after my first child but in 2007 we decided to have a second child. Several months after giving birth I noticed changes in the symmetry of my breast. I was able to live with the changes for a while until about a year ago when the unevenness was noticeable thru my clothing. I dont have any significant pain but you can feel that the right breast is much firmer than the left. My left also seems to have a larger pocket as it moves more freely. So I have seem 3 different surgeons including Dr. K as I was not 100% sure whether the right had Capsular Contracture or if the left was Bottoming out. Dr. K is leaning towards the right having CC although I was told by the doctors it could be a little of both, CC on the right and slight Bottoming out on the left. In the end, I trust Dr. K and have scheduled the revision for this Friday. My nerves are getting the best of me as I am obsessively researching and reading and flipping through 100's of before & after photos searching for peace of mind.
As for the revision surgery, we are switching from the 300cc smooth round salines to Mentor 350-375ish smooth round silicone gel. Dr. K said he would go with Moderate or Moderate Plus profile. I am excited to have silicone but nervous as to how even they will look when all is said and done.

Good morning ladies. My surgery went smooth...
Thanks all for your kind words. Although this was my second surgery, it wasn't any less nerve racking or easier, lol.
Fingers crossed for symmetry for you. Thanks for sharing and please do let us know how it goes!
