Take out or re-do?

smartie-iow · 11-19-2009, 05:24 PM

Hi,

I have had CC twice now first on left and now on right (had them taken out and redone) and this time it isnt really visable to people in my clothes yet but feels like I am laying on a tennis ball if I try and lay on my front, also I have a general tight feeling and a few random sharp pains.

Do I try again another time and hope it will not come back (first time after 4 years and this time after 2 weeks) or do I have them taken out and go back to very unconfidant flat chested person? If I have them out will I need an uplift? I was a 34a before and now 34c/d had 375overs and 300 unders last time?

I really cant go through this continuously but dont want to have even worsely scarred breasts if I have to have an uplift.

Do uplift scars fade and would I lose any of my minimal tissue that I had before?

Thanks in advance,

Helen UK

I think 2 weels after surgery is a bit early to redevelop a capsule.

I'm glad you posted this thread as i might have cc also i had a redo to go bigger 6 months ago and my left breast is so firm compared to my right i called my dr and he thinks it could be cc as i mentioned this to him a couple months back he told me to wait til my 6 month mark and let him know if it still feels the same which it does. My p.s is 4 hours away so i told him i could come and see him after the newyear as my husband is deployed until the end of december and i have kids. My ? is did you have to pay for surgery again because you had cc and if so how much thank you.

Hi,

I had to pay more the second time around as they have to remove the excess scar tissue as well so not so straight forward!
It was 4 years on so wouldnt be covered anyway!

Good luck with yours
