*6 Months Post-Op* 23, 34A to a 34D, Wellesley, MA

Just realized it has been four years since my revision and seven years since my original surgery and I wanted to post an update to clarify that post-revision I have been very happy with the results. My breasts are what I have always wanted and I think that the size is absolutely perfect. Dr. Davidson did a great job and I would strongly recommend. Although I needed to undergo a revision, I do think it had a lot to do with my anatomy and with the capsular contracture -- Dr. Davidson did not charge his fee for my revision and the implants were covered, so I just had to pay fees associated with the surgery (anesthesia and facility).

I saw Dr. Davidson today and he has retracted his offer to perform muscle release under local anesthesia. He doesn't think that would help me much and actually told me that he thinks I have achieved a great result given my anatomy. I'm beyond frustrated with this response to my dissatisfaction. Also when I explained that I was still experiencing burning muscle pain he suggested a muscle relaxer. The last thing I want is to be medicated for this. I understand his explanation as to why my nipple is still so low, but if this was the expected outcome, I wish he would have told me that before I spent $7500 and let him cut me open. The whole point of me doing this was to improve the shape of my breasts. He gave me a few options (all which would cost $2000+) but still insisted that this was a good result and that he wouldn't advise me to do anything else. I'm so upset that I've been waiting for a revision for the past three months and now there will be no resolution. Also, despite his insistence that this was a good outcome appearance-wise, I still don't understand why my muscles are so tight. He acknowledged that they were firm, but offered no solution to that issue. I'm very disappointed. I requested copies of my medical records so that I can make decisions as far as next steps.

Well, as of January 1st, it has been six months since my BA. Implants still haven't dropped but that's not surprising since they hadn't after three months. I'm still having burning muscle pain in the middle of the night so I just want to get this over with. The muscle flex deformity at this point is really getting difficult to ignore so I hope that the revision helps that as well. I have an appointment with by PS next week to discuss the revision. He offered to muscle release under local at no cost to me but from what I've heard on realself, local really isn't the way to go. I'm still very frustrated but I'm hoping that I'm finally nearing the end of this roller coaster.
