29 y/o 5'7" 145lbs Implant Exchange 465cc HP Saline for 740cc "Gummy Bear" Tear Drop Silicone
ORIGINAL POST
My surgery is scheduled for Friday of this week....
WORTH IT$9,000
My surgery is scheduled for Friday of this week. In addition to the implant exchange my PS determined that I also need a capsulectomy and capsulorraphy to address my capsular contracture on the left and sagging on the right. We decided to go with the new "gummy bear" tear drop silicone implant at 750cc to achieve a DD size end result. I would love to hear some thoughts and feedback.

Ready for tomorrow but definitely a little nervous
Blood work results were great and I went over my pre op instructions with the treatment coordinator today. My PS assured me that although the cc's are very high on my new implants that they will give me the size and shape that I want. I did some research on the Natrelle 410 FF implants and I love the natural look they give and manage to mantain fullness. I'm looking forward to getting rid of these awful, old saline implants.

Hi! Well I imagine you are under the knife today! I wish you a speedy recovery! I was under the knife yesterday for capsulectomy with strattice on left side. Let me know how your surgery goes. Are you getting a regular capsulectomy?

Hi! Thanks for the reply...my procedure is at 4:30pm today...my PS is doing an open capsulectomy

Oh goodness, 4:30pm? I'd be starving put of my mind! My surgery was at 7am, but not like I could eat a whole lot afterwards anyway, but at least I got to drink. I'm feeling for you! Good luck and see you on the other side! Do you know if you'll have a drain?

I can't even look at food right now, it's driving me crazy! As far as I know I won't have a drain...

Hey Mnastari, how are you holding up? How was surgery for you and the morning after?
March 29, 2014
Hi there,
Thank you for checking in...the surgery was a great success although my PS said that it was one of the longest and challenging procedures he has ever done...in addition to the capsular contracture on the left and the sagging on the right, he discovered that I had extremely large amounts of calcification on BOTH breasts that needed to be removed AND the right breast was not only sagging but had fallen out from under the muscle and he needed to stitch up the muscle on that side. I was in surgery for 3 hours...
He also said that all of the procedures were done beautifully and that he could not have asked for a better result!
I am so happy and thankful to the meticulous work my PS did for me and cannot wait to see the final result!
Last night was difficult as I was very nauseous and vomiting from the anesthesia but this morning I feel great and I am not in too much pain at all, just very sore.
So far, so good! I see my PS on Tuesday for my post op appt and I will post some pictures then.

Oh and there was also a 5.0 earthquake while I was in recovery! I was just waking up from the anesthesia and the room was shaking!

I am glad your surgery went well and thank God the earthquake occurred AFTER! Lol i have never heard of the calcification, did your doc say what caused that or what it was? My post op isn't till Thursday. I am sick of this bandage already! Lol, well I look forward to seeing your updated pics!

Day after surgery...feeling pretty good
Despite some complications resulted from my previous breast implants, my PS assured me that I will be very pleased with the results! I am feeling quite well and not in as much pain as I expected.
