I’m currently considering revision surgery to replace my implants. It’s not that the feel is due to capsular contracture or that it’s terribly bad, but at the time, I didn’t really look up much information and just went straight with BellaGel.. But since BellaGel itself has a firm, bouncy feel, I don’t like how it feels (It’s been 4 years since I had it done)
So I’m thinking of switching to Mentor Smooth. I went back to the hospital where I had it done, but the director was kind of.. unlike during my first surgery, he looked at it really carelessly and said things like, “Let’s just not do it..?” So I went to two hospitals specializing in revision surgery, and of course they were very kind and explained in detail what would be good and how.. And both revision-specialty hospitals said that I don’t currently have any problem, and because my progress is good, it would be a “low-difficulty revision surgery.”
However, the hospital where I had my first surgery would only charge me the implant cost for the revision, while one of the revision-specialty hospitals is almost twice as much, and the other is almost three times as much..
I want to switch from BellaGel > Mentor Smooth like this. Do I really have to go to a hospital specializing in revision surgery? Are there any of you who had revision surgery at the same hospital and were satisfied?
To begin with, for the shape, I like a slightly sagging U U shape, but mine is way too round.. But if that’s the doctor’s skill, then there’s no hope even if I do it at the same hospital..
