Complication 6 months post surgery

Hi girls,

It has been a while since I last updated my Real Self review. This time my review isn't so happy. 6 months post surgery I developed Capsular Contracture in grade 2-3 in my left breast and grade IV in my right one. I visited Dr. Cervantes when I was 6 months post surgery with a casual concern about my breast being very big and changing. Doctor Cervantes my doctor at the time took my concerns lightly without a physical examination. Months when by and last month symptoms started arriving like for example tingling sensations and some pain going from my nipple to my arm pit. Right away I decided to consult with two different doctors and it was confirmed that It was CC. I decided to exercised my right to select my doctor and to decided what it was better for me and I decided to go with Dr. Irving Rodriguez. I'm right now almost 14 days post surgery and so happy with my results and the fantastic job he did. All pain is gone and now I feel back to my self. I must add to my comment that my surgery took almost 5 hours because I had excess of breast tissue in my side breast from my previous procedure. Dr. Rodriguez took such care to provide me with the best results. Not everything is sad . Another thing that I decided to do was a liposculpture session plus fat transfer bbl. Love my new hourglass shape!!!

9 months post surgery

Finally 9 months! Recovery is going well still I little swollen in some areas of my tummy some days. Some days my tummy in the areas were lips was done feel still sore. I didn't have a lot lymphatic massages which I regret but starting from next week I will start some massages with ultrasound to help my abdominal area with some hard tissue that has build in areas where lipo was done. My recommendation to all getting lipo and tummy tuck is to have lymphatic massages and ultrasound as soonest possible to avoid hard tissue to be build inside. Even do my results look very nice and I'm so happy with my results specially my tummy tuck and bbl sometimes the inside part of my tummy feels very hard. Regarding my breast I will happy with the shape and the way it feels but still thinking about a reduction as an option.
Next week I will be doing a treatment with plasma injections to help my face a little bit. I promise to keep every body update with the results week a week since will be a treatment of weeks plus a small peeling which was suggested as well.

I had surgery with Dr. Cervantes last November a mmo. I'm updating my review after 11 months since my procedure. In all honestly I can say that I was very happy with my results until I developed capsular contracture after month six and became more clear with symptoms after 10 months. I'm fully aware of the complications that can arrive with plastic surgery and certainly I'm not looking to blame Dr.Cervantes from my fortune. I also, fully understand that the response from our doctor can change things around, a quick response from Dr. Cervantes could delivered a better outcome than something that turn quickly into a complication in my case. Unfortunately, this is what happen to me with my breast. I feel that my concerns about the size of my breast and comment about changes were right and deserved more attention. The aftercare follow up need it more attention.
