Lateral Capsulorrhaphy, Inferior Capsulorrhaphy, Areola Reduction, Implant Exchange
ORIGINAL POST
Original BL/BA was November 18, 2015, so I’m 13 m...
$4,650
Original BL/BA was November 18, 2015, so I’m 13 month post. The cost, $9,450. I got a lollipop lift with 350CC Mentor Memory Gel Moderate Profile Plus implants. They have a 12.5 diameter. My stats are: 5’3” – 120 lbs – BWD: 14. Although I originally wanted High Profile because all my wish pic ladies had HPs, I went with Moderate Profile Plus at the suggestion of my surgeon. I did indeed provide him with wish pics and he felt Moderate Profile Plus would do the trick.
I’ve never been happy with the shape. I never had the nice, full, round shape that the ladies in my wish pics had/have. My areola are larger than I wanted them to be. I showed him pics but I guess my interpretation and his with regard to the reduction size were just different. They aren’t centered and one is higher than the other. One also stretched out so it’s larger than the other.
My right implant is under my armpit. It always has been. You can see the difference, the asymmetry, in my post op pics in my original review.
I’m getting a lateral capsulorrhaphy on the right one.
My left implant hangs too low toward the center of my chest and I’m getting an inferior capsulorrhaphy on the left. You can see how unnatural the shape and symmetry is on both.
Both breasts are not as full as I would have liked. I don’t have upper pole fullness and have to wear demi bras – just like pre-surgery. I don’t fill up the cup of a full coverage bra. It’s still hollow up top. I’m back to wearing VS padded push up bras to give me the look and fullness I want in clothes. Both breasts feel “loose.” I don’t know how else to describe it. They “jiggle” way too much due to loose skin and possibly the pockets being too large. When I lay flat the both fall to the sides toward my armpits. I just want them to stay on top of my chest and feel “firm.” Well, firmer than they do now. They should not move around as much as they do.
I have a few other internal issues, too. Flex animation deformity on both. My PS said it’s common and basically said nothing could be done about this… it’s a risk with breast augmentation and that I more or less had to live with it so I’ve gotten used to it, although I don’t like it. I’ve read though that there are procedures to correct it. I’ve also read reviews where ladies went in to have it corrected and it was worse after or they ended up with other issues, like symmastia, which I certainly don’t want – so I’m not stressing over the flex animation.
I also have numbness on my left lower pole to the right of vertical scar toward the center of my chest. The entire area was numb for the longest time. I posted a question for the RS surgeons and Dr. Pousti said it could be a neuroma. Although I don’t have the pain that is associated with a neuroma. Or it could be the implant is malpositioned (which it is) and that it could be laying on scar tissue. I read online for neuroma numbness that you can introduce different feelings and textures (like rubbing cotton or silk or a loofa) on the area and sometimes the feeling comes back. I’ve been doing this and some of the feeling has returned thankfully. The downside to this is I now have feeling so I feel twinges of pain… more like an “ache” really than a true pain feeling, if that makes senses. I can live with the numbness but the weird sensation is really annoying and feel so unnatural. When I asked my surgeon about it early on he said to leave it alone…it was normal. I’ve emailed his office manager twice about it and both times she said she’d get back to me and never did. My guess is my surgeon still isn’t concerned about it.
So – the game plan:
He’ll use 400 – 475CC Mentor High Profile implants of 485CC Inspira implants. I’m going to insist that he use at least 450s because from everything I’ve read, if I don’t increase by at least 100CCs I will see/feel no difference. I’m not paying for new implants that are only 50 or 75CCs larger because it won’t make a difference.
He’ll do a lateral capsulorrhaphy on my right and an inferior capsulorrhaphy on my left. Make the pockets smaller hopefully and excise the loose skin. That alone will help the shape and they’ll have that tighter, firmer look I think. You can see in the pics when I pinch the loose skin with my fingers it tightens things up and rounds them out.
Center the implants under my areola properly and move my left areola more in line with my right. I posted a photo. There is a one inch difference from my left and right and the left points off to the left and the nipple is lower.
Reduce the size of my areola. This time I will tell him the exact size I want rather than leaving it up to him to try to interpret based on a photo. Other surgeons on this site have posted the average size ranges 38 – 42mm. 38mm is approx. 1.5 inches. Mine are currently 2.0 and 2.25 inches. I figure if I go with approx. 1.5 and it stretches out .25 I can live with that. The important thing is that they are roughly the same size and smaller. 1/4 inch is really noticeable. And then the fact that they are off centered – the asymmetry stresses me out more than anything….
I’ll see if he can investigate and do something about the possible neuroma and weird shooting sensation and dull ache on my left breast. I’m not holding out for that since his office never got back to me in the first place.
I think that covers everything. My revision is less than a month away – January 17th. Wish me luck!

Editing captions for posted photos
For whatever reason, RealSelf will not let me edit the caption for my photos. So I haven't been able to include any captions at all. But I've had a couple of ladies message me about the third picture, the collage...... that my boobs look amazing. My implants are on top and the implants on the bottom are my WISH BOOBS, not mine! I wish mine looked at the ones on the bottom. I posted that pic so that you could see mine were never really around looking. Hopefully after my revision, my shape will look like the shape of my wish pic boobs.

I saw what you posted on another girls page, and you were asking about Ispiras. I have them and so far love them. I look at your stats and placement and they seem big from the side view, but far apart like you stated. Im not sure how bwd works exactly, but your shoulders seem wider like mine, I think thats what makes the biggest difference with hiw the size you chose lays and were he places them. If you get HP when already having the moderate will they stay or move to the sides anyway cause the pockets are big? What did your surgeon say about going up to hp?
January 3, 2017
I love yours! I've been following your review because you are only 5' and weigh 100lbs. I'm a little taller and heavier than you - 5'3" and weigh 120. I was told my BWD is 14. Your 550s look amazing! Mine are only 350 Moderate Profile Plus, so the implant itself isn't big...I had breast tissue already though. Just saggy... I do want them closer together but more importantly, SYMMETRICAL. I want them full, and round (crescent shaped underneath) and I want my areola smaller or at the very least centered over the implant. I really think it all boils down to placement of the implant, excising more loose skin and adjust the pockets. My PS is onboard for swapping out for high profile so that I have more upper pole. I want that round full look. If you look at my side view, my implants just slant straight down and they look more cone shaped. I'm fine with the projection really. They don't need to stick out further but I want upper pole and a full look. They still look and feel so floppy... Sometimes I have a heard time verbalizing what I want, so I figured showing pics would be better, but that didn't work out so well. I'm going to show him yours as I've saved them to a notebook as wish boobs! I would be thrilled if mine looked like yours after my revision!
January 3, 2017
Awe good luck! I hope he can do what you need! What size are you choosing? You said you had extra breast tissue and sag, so has he said you need a internal bra, or if bigger will get you there?
January 3, 2017
About that.... I've read the term "internal bra" basically is internal sutures, which is a capsulorrhaphy.... which is what I'm getting on both breasts. There is material that you can use to further support and hold them.... Alloderm or something like that.... but I don't think I need that. My implants have been like this since day 1. It's not like they are 12 year old implants that have stretched over time and I now need the extra hold. Most of the time they say the internal sutures (capsolorrhaphy procedure) is sufficient to seal off the pocket and make it smaller.
My doctor said he would bring in 425 - 475 Mentor High Profile and 485 SRX (high profile) Inspiras. I'm going to ask him to bring in the 450 SRX Inspiras also. They are the same size/diam as the Mentor 450 but I think I'll do better with the firmness of the Inspira. But ultimately it'll be what will fit. Which, if my BWD really is 14, then the 425 - 485s will definitely fit... Even the 485s are 13.0 in diameter and I've read a lot of reviews where ladies get the exact diameter implant that their BWD is and they look amazing!
I seriously am so ready for this to be over. I'm trying not to have anxiety over it. I just never thought I would have such a tough go of it....such an emotional year... It's not like me at all and the stress has really taken a toll on me. But I'm staying positive! Thank you so much for your support! Will continue to follow your journey! xo!

CORRECTION! I said Inspira SRX but I meant SRF (F=Full - which is equivalent to high profile) SRX (X=Extra Fill which I imagine is similar to Ultra High Profile). Mine would be the FULL - SRF, not SRX.
January 4, 2017
oh no prob. Thanks for the clarifications, now I wont have to go do a word search on all that! Ha.
I think 425-485 with a 13bwd range sounds good too.
Im so sorry you've felt stressed, hang in there. Your only 2 weeks away!

Labs and Pre-Op Complete! Surgery is Tuesday....
Just quick update... I went for my bloodwork on Wednesday and my pre-op was this morning. We went over everything in detail and he took a ton of time with me. I feel really good now, and much more relaxed. I've been feeling some anxiety.
Anyway, my left one -
He's dong the inferior capsulorrhaphy as planned. He's going to make my areola smaller. We discussed actual size with the understand they could still stretch out a bit, which I'm fine with. He's going to do 38, 40 or 42mm maximum - but probably 40mm and then if they stretch to 42mm I'm good with that. He's gong to reposition the areola too as he knows my #1 goal is SYMMETRY!
While he's in there he said he would look at the flex animation but, if you think about it, I'm asking him to "tighten things up" fix the pocket with the capsulorrhaphy and tighten skin but then I'm wanting him to release muscle. Those things are sort of fighting against each other. Makes sense. I told him I'd live with the flex animation if I can have a tighter, firmer result. But he'll see what he can do. He will also investigate that weird sensation that feels like what I would imagine a trapped nerve in scar tissue to feel like. If he can do something about that, he said he would too.
My right one -
Lateral capsulorrhaphy, excise loose skin and again, smaller areola. He'll make sure they are both symmetrical in distance from the center of my chest.... again, for me it's all about symmetry!
As for swapping out my implants for high profile -
We are doing that. He is going to use, however, Allergen Inspira SCF which a new implant. It's a round gummy. I can't find any reviews on these yet because it's only been available for a few months. You can read about it here if your interested : https://www.roundgoesgummy.com/
The SCF (they are full profile so equivalent to the Inspira SRF and other High Profile implants), but they are suppose to retain their upper pole fullness really well. Kind of nervous about trying something new but they sound great. I am currently 350cc Moderate Plus and we're doing 485cc Inspira Round Gummies. I'm a little nervous about the size. I'm tempted to call and see if he can bring in with him once size smaller just in case. I do not want huge boobs and I don't want round balls on my chest but I do want more upper pole.
So there you have it. Think I covered everything. I have to be at the surgery center at 7:30am on Tuesday. I'm glad I'm early. It's supposed to take approx. 2 hours so if he starts at 8:00-ish I should be done and semi-coherent by noon! :)
Wish me luck!

It's coming up quickly! Excited for you!! It sounds like you have a great detailed plan in place to fix your issues--great patient surgeon communication :)
I'm just curious if he said he'd be able to see anything in surgery when he opens you up as to what's causing discomfort? I've read both ways on this and dr vath was very adamant about not being able to, which does seem a little strange that you wouldn't be able to see anything at all :-/ at times I've wondered if one slight area in my pocket needs to be released to stop the pulling or aching feeling?
When researching implants I found it so hard to find the sizing charts for some of these newer implants which was really frustrating for me! You said what you're getting is a round gummy implant, is the surface smooth or textured? It is my understanding textured implants can only be placed in new cases or when the capsule has been removed.
Just because I'm such a curious person, I'm going to check out the link you posted above!! :)
Try get your house nice and clean this weekend and take the rest of the time to relax your mind and everything else!! Can't wait to see you on "the other side!!" Woohooooo!!!

Hey there! I plan on doing exactly that! I have errands to run and will spend the weekend cleaning, grocery shopping and getting my kitchen organized with things at a lower level so I don't have to reach.
I was surprised somewhat the that instructions for after-care were basically the same as a lift. I've read a lot of other ladies' reviews though and will adopt some of their after-care precautions just to play it safe.
As for the implants they are smooth cohesive full (SCF) so not textured. They are indeed for revisions and if what I read about them keeping their upper pole fullness on the Allergan website, I'll be a happy camper....
I'm staying positive because at this point, it's out of my hands and I just have trust my doctor. Whatever happens, either way, I'll be done with surgeries for a while, maybe forever. The stress of the pas year has taken it's toll on me.
Hoping for a fabulously beautiful result for us both! Yours are looking so awesome already! You must be thrilled!!!! Oh, and if you do find a sizing chart for these new implants, please post it. I can't find it anyway! I do know though that the 485s have a 13.0 diameter. I'm curious about the projection though. I'm sure it's similar to the SRF.

I am such a planner when it comes to just about everything in life! LOL before my revision I tried to plan all this stuff out for my kids and sitter (since we were going out of town) and the night before we were supposed to fly out it seemed like all of a sudden everything fell apart and everyone acted as if they didn't know the plan. I lost my sh*t and started screaming then crying then yelling again, then normal like nothing happened! lol I was stressed out! Haha!! It sounds like you have also planned things out very well :):)
I feel like my after care instructions weren't much.. kind of like a basic augmention..no lifting, don't get your heart rate up.. that sort of thing, but they didn't say anything about raising my arms or any of that, so I just did what I was comfortable doing. I find it so weird how each surgeon has different instructions and what not and how different they can be from one another..I don't get that, and don't like it either! lol I like consistency, hah!! Makes things confusing that's for sure..
As for your implants, I heard something about these implants, if my memory serves me correctly, another lady on here who is a dr vath patient has them, I think her name is "BiggerIn2016". Some days I feel small because even with my HPs I've lost upper fullness, but I definitely was so fake and round looking up too before..so it's such a fine line!! That being said, I had UHP either the dr or the nurse made a mistake in prepping them for surgery and were supposed to use HP, and I likely would have gotten 600HP. But my whole point is, with these new implants keeping their shape, I don't think you will have to worry about looking fake or too full on top, unless of course if they were badly placed, if you were super tiny, or if you got UHP like I had with a crazy amount of projection, I think it was like 6.4! Lol. Sorry for rambling.. haha I think you're guna be happy, that's all I'm trying to say! Hah :):)

Oh my gosh, too funny! I'm stuck in traffic so I'll write more later, but her breasts are exactly what I don't want. I'm pretty sure that is who I am thinking of, and I I was going to PM you and tell you to look her up, because I just don't want mine to look like that. I mean God bless her, she loves her boobs and that's the look she was going for and that's what she got. But that isn't what I want. I don't think that look would look good on you. it's just funny that you and I both thought of the same person! And again, if she ever reads my review, I will be mortified. I don't mean to sound insulting at all, it's just again that look wouldn't look very good on me. I am somewhat tiny.
But it any rate, I have a photo of the chart I found with the implants I'm getting. I don't think it's an official Allergan chart though. But I do remember your story, I have followed you since the beginning. I know they screwed up on your implant profile. I remember that! It's funny, another member on this site posted some message about how she wasn't gonna do updates anymore because no one commented on her review. People lurk in the background and read but don't always comment. I do that all the time. If I have something of value to add, then I add to the conversation. But if I don't have anything new to say, then I just read everyone else's reviews and get tips and tricks from them. And see how they are coming along. Anyway now I'm rambling. And traffic is moving again! LOL will write more later!

People lurk in the background and read but don't always comment. I do that all the time. If I have something of value to add, then I add to the conversation. But if I don't have anything new to say, then I just read everyone else's reviews and get tips and tricks from them. And see how they are coming along. Anyway now I'm rambling. And traffic is moving again! LOL will write more later!

lol I was wondering what you meant! lol I sort of felt like those stupid UHP I had looked close to hers, and I might be worng but she may have UHP too? Ill have to go look because I haven't been on her review like that in a while! But you are correct hers are large for her frame. I believe the cc volume is also large though, so I don't think you will have to worry about that! Lol!!
I emailed one of the gals at dr vaths office asking for my chart so once I get it I will be posting my before photos that his nurse took, omg they look worse with their fancy camera and all that! But the reason I brought up the other girl was because I thought she had the sizing chart? Maybe not.. I'll dig around on here and see who's review it was that I saw with the sizing chart and let you know if I find them :)

Ok I looked at her review, and she does have UHP or "extra full profile" which is the same thing, and she has 650cc, and I had 700cc so pretty much the same thing I had. Hey to each their own!! I'll keep looking for that sizing chart
January 14, 2017
I found it!! Her name is "4theloveoftatas" the picture she has up is kinda hard to read though.. and she drew up her own sizing chart too.. check her out, hopefully this helps a bit :)

I am so happy for you. I have been so busy with preparing for a dinner party that I am hosting tomorrow for 30 some friends that I did not have time to be on RS!! I have been cooking all day!! It must be exciting finally your boobs will be fixed. I will be thinking of you and praying for you. Hugzzz

30 some!!?? That is a lot of work my friend!! Bless you!! That will be a good time for sure though! I'm anxious, nervous... dreading the recovery. Just a few more days! Spent the day cleaning the house, rearranging things in the refrigerator, in the cabinets so they are easy to get to, and did laundry. Just going to relax the rest of the weekend now and watch my Steelers hopefully pound the Chiefs! I found the picture of the style of round cohesive gummy's. I'm gonna post it in a minute. If you do run across any information on this particular implant, let me know! Have fun tonight! Let us know what you made for dinner! :)

Hello friend I am so glad you are getting things done and getting ready for your very special day. Yes its a very good idea to keep things within reach so that you will not have to raise your arms up. Hope you have got some easy entry ( thats what I call them!!) cloths as well. It was a challenge for me trying to put cloths on without raising my arms up. I saw your update about the new cohesive gel implants. Are they more costly? If I come across any info I will share with you for sure. I am super exhausted after hosting the party!! Bur it was fun. I be out for a few months while I recover so I invited them!! Now I have to clean my house organize my kitchen and my temporary bed with my wedge pillows to be ready for my surgery!! Btw hope Steelers were able to beat the Chiefs!! Enjoy your weekend. I will be following you ... best wishes and hugzz :)

Hey. Im reading through your journey again. I cant believe how complicated,,and crazy things have been for your breasts. My GOD,,,,all you wanted was what we all want; Perky, round, firm boobs. Im so sorry you have had to go through such a crazy ride!!
It sounds like you have done thorough research and you know what you want along with realistic expectations. I think you're going to get the results you are seeking and can't wait to see your firm yet perky look! Feel free to be the first to comment on the January 2017 breast implant revision forum. (You can also type the forum title into the RealSelf search bar and it will show up.) I'd love for others to be able to find your helpful review. Good luck and keep us posted!
He was just going to do the capsulorrhaphy on my right and on my left and not charge for his fees....just $1,500 for the surgery center and anesthesiologist... but then I d coded I wanted HPs and because I feel it'll give me more the look I'm trying to achieve... and I'm going just a little bigger too... so that's an additional $3,000. Just really hoping it's worth it and I'm happy with them. I'm getting a little freaked out based on all the information I've read from other women who have had pocket revision in the recovery. Not so much the pain, but the restrictions on lifting and even dog walking, washing your hair, etc. Will continue to update once I have my surgery. Thank you for your support :-)
You'll do great!
P.S. You can remove your pictures and repost them with new captions if that helps with your picture dilemma. ;)
