Hi so im very disappointed and sad that this didn't work out for me. I wish i never did it. The money, trials, and tribulations I went through and still going through have been miserable. Now I have very obvious scars from my many redos on my incisions and weird jelly skin underneath my right breast. There is a hole i can literally stick my finger in under my right breast as well. Im going to have to see another surgeon eventually when i save the money but id never go to dr Kaplan again.

So sorry you went through this. Did you end up having a revision? How are you feeling about the entire experience now?

Thanks for the review. Curious why you still gave him 5 stars if you aren't happy?

Capsuler contraction revision update

juliastar
I had my surgery yesterday for my capsuler contraction. Dr Kaplan removed quite a bit of scar tissue and lowered my implant to match the left. It looks so so much better even though im a little swollen. Im wearing a t -shirt and you can't see the lopsided boob anymore! Fingers crossed i heal up awesome and symmetrical. I can't wait for looking normal and not battling the asymmetry anymore.

Photos didn't all uploaded all the way for some reason. But here are some angles i have taken to show the asymmetry. This has been emotional im embarrassed to take my clothes off at the gym or around anyone. Its impossible to hide the bulge on the top. I hope that this surgery will make it right!

Good luck with the surgery. I’m having a revision on the 26th of October. My left implant has come through the wall on the inter lower pocket. I’m also going through a difficult emotional time. I waited so long to get my BA doing lots of research. They looked so promising at first. Then my righted breasted started to look beautiful while my left seemed like it was sliding down to my stomach. I’m trying to stay strong but the thought of starting over on my left breast is so discouraging. I feel like my body is turning to mush not being able to go to the gym and now the wait will start all over. Please keep updating your progress. We can try to in courage each other.

@wilhudii do you happen to know did your PS have to lower your crease or do any crease work to place your implants? It sounds like your “bottoming out”! Since you don’t have a review w/any pics and I’m only basing this off your description above. It doesn’t always happen to everyone but I read a lot of stories on RS and those ladies that have had crease work I found they all had in common w/each other when bottoming out was the crease work (lowering the pocket) almost each time. Sorry your going through this. It is difficult! You will make it through it! I had 2 open wounds under each of my breasts. They developed roughly 3 weeks after sx. I was so upset and depressed but now I’m 14 mpo & loving my results. Hang in there! Your date is just around the corner. We’re here for you if you need anything, ok!?! Please keep me posted. If you want, start a review? Or you can PM either way let me know how sx goes. Thanks. ❣️❤️❣️

My incision was place into my original breast crease. My right crease has lowered about 1.5 inches has my breast has dropped and fluffed. My left crease is dropped down my chest wall considerably. I also believe the left breast has bottomed out though the doctor called it something else. The implant is clearly slid down my chest wall and is partially visible.

Well heck. I wish this site allowed editing. I really do know correct grammar. :(

I understand what you're going though @wilhudii and i hope you surgery is successful!!!!! Keep us updated please:) ...I have had my incisions redone on both sides. My left originally because it wasn't healing up properly, my body doesn't like the dissolvable stitches. The right side healed fine but he wanted to redo the incision like the left thinking it would help it drop down to match. It didn't work and now dr Kaplan is going to open it up and look inside.
