On The Natural Side!

After reading everyone else's stories I've decided to finally share my own. To make a long story short: I had my BA in June 2012. I have 375 Saline Moderates filled to 400ccs under the muscle. I developed CC by August. I had a revision on Nov. 21st for CC in my right and implant repositioning in my left. They were perfect. For 11 days. The CC redeveloped in my right only 11 days post op.

Saw my PS today for my post op. He gave me three options. He would do a casulectomy (my revision was a capsulotomy) and insert a new implant, explant and replace with new implants in 6 months, or just explant. I just fell apart in his office and really couldn't discuss much as I couldn't keep myself together. (embarassing) What I got out of it was he wouldn't charge me anything, and he would explant without removing the capsules. And, he wouldn't use drains unless he saw a need. He did use drains with my capsulotomy. I don't know if I'm comfortable with leaving in the capsules and would love the hear from those who have left the capsules in. Especially since I have CC on my right side. 

I am considering a second opinion, but that is also 4 hours away and will cost me a lot more money. Any advice? Do I stick this out with my original PS and pray for the best? Thanks, in advance for your support Ladies!

I have made 2 more appointments for consults on explantation. The first is a week from today and the other is in January. Hoping that I find a Dr. that I am comfortable with and who is understanding and empathetic. Both are with women Dr.s. I have started dreaming about my boobs again. I cannot wait to have them out, but I am scared and nervous about the whole process and recovery. Unfortunately, I will need to wait until March to get an explant. In the meantime, I have started a new workout and plan on being in tip top shape when I go in for explant in March.

It's been awhile since I've updated. I've had 2 consultations with a PS. She was not my original PS, and felt I needed to give it some time due to my emotions. Though, initially upset over this, I now think it was a good idea to give it some time and let my emotions settle. However, I have not changed my mind, and in fact, feel more strongly that explanting is what I need to do. On Monday, I will go back to my original PS to see what he has to say. The reasons for me going back to him is financial. The last time I saw him was after my revision post op, where I was very upset over my results. At that time, he said he would explant for nothing. The other PS quoted me at $4800. So, I'm hoping the original PS is still good for his word and will explant for nothing. This would be my 3rd surgery in one year with him. I do have questions for him though. Mostly about the capsule of my right breast that has CC. He had no plans to do a capsulectomy or drains where as my other PS was going to do both of those things.

Either way, I won't be having surgery until beginning of June as that is when my summer break begins and I won't have to worry about my job or taking days off. I'm hoping that I'll have a date by Monday. I'll keep you updated.

I just want to thank everyone for posting their stories. It really is so helpful to those of us in the wings!
