1 Month Post-op Revision Surgery

WORTH IT$6,300
Quick recap.. I had revision surgery June 12 after developing a Capsular Contracture. Dr. Hamm finally met my expectations. I must say, I felt no pain, 1 week post op I was able to sleep on my bed, flat on my back and on my side. Now at 1 month post op I can also lay on my belly without discomfort.
As soon as I got home after surgery I started massaging, the fear of developing another capsule never leaves me, but I'm doing everything I can to avoid it.

how did it go? I went through the same exact thing with Dr Hamm and I am going in for revision for CC on my left breast today. I am curious how yours turned out. I am on my 3rd surgery now with Dr Hamm to fix CC in left breast. They did IV therapy before and will do after to confirm cc wont come back...they didnt tell me anything about the lipoex?

Open Capsulotomy After All...

Long story short, after beating the cc on my right boob with lipoex treatments, I developed a cc on my left boob, I had a few treatments of the lipoex but the capsule was stubborn.

Yesterday morning I finally went for revision surgery, I had an open capsulotomy, while I was there, I got an areola lift again and decided to go bigger. Here is a pic of my new babies,stitches come off June 26, 2015.

Revision Surgery at last...

Todays is exactly 11 months post-op. The capsular contracture on my left boob gets worse at the months go by. It’s not painful just extremely hard, it’s like laying on a baseball.

So my total is $5400 for (capsulotomy, circumareolar breast lift, and swapping both implants [[for bigger]] lol) I’m scheduled for May 22, 2015 (time tbd)

Also switched to Dr. Melih Erogul, I wasn’t happy with Dr. Hamm’s results. Aside the capsule my nipples are uneven, one higher that the other, and I lost total sesantion on myright boob. Let’s hope this new Dr can meet my expectations after paying close to $1170 in total I just want nice full even DD’s

I will post pic's soon.

I decided to stick to the same doctor because the new one (name above) refused to give me bigger implants and insisted on a full anchor lift. No wayyy. Dr. Hamm did pretty good this 2nd time around. Keeping my fingers crossed, hopefully the capsule doesn't develop again.

Did you have to pay the $5400 on the redo or $1170 for the redo? Also go to Strax - different doc- got an infection no fault of the dr - had a full lift with 460 HP saline unders. I'm a wound nurse and hard to please and really like Dr Bass- but thinking I'm going to need some revision- paid $7500 already so hesitant to shell out anymore cash- thx for your updates - my surgery was 5/21 BTW.
