Reasons I got revision surgery -Breast asymmetry, shape was uneven too -Texture was not very good; anyone could tell they looked like surgically augmented breasts -Up to this point I just lived with it somehow.. but the saline implants that had lasted 15 years eventually ruptured
I will start by writing what led me to revision surgery. I could not give up on my breasts, so I was much more determined about revision surgery, and because of the sudden rupture diagnosis, I was completely mentally overwhelmed.. Fortunately, at the hospital where I had the checkup, I was introduced to a director famous for breast surgery and got revision surgery
Thinking back after some time, during my first surgery it was just: get surgery and done.. After that, the recovery period was time I had to handle completely on my own, but this time, instead of a factory-style hospital that does all kinds of surgeries, I had surgery at MD, which specializes only in breasts, and they took responsibility for everything from texture management to scars. I am very satisfied with the postoperative care too. Since I was doing it anyway, the director completely corrected the size, shape, and asymmetry I had felt disappointed about all this time
(Motiva 375cc inserted on both sides)
Before revision surgery, even though they were surgically augmented breasts, when I wore underwear it was barely noticeable..? They were not big breasts either.. Now, even without wearing underwear that forcibly pushes them together, the breast shape looks good, so I think my satisfaction is much higher
Maybe because the breast pocket had stretched, but I recovered well without much pain, and compared with the early period, the texture has softened a lot too, so when comparing saline implants and Motiva, Motiva wins by far, seriously.. The soft, squishy feel is quite natural and I feel almost no foreign-body sensation
Honestly.. when I first heard the rupture diagnosis, it felt like the world had collapsed lol But now, since I improved the size + asymmetry at a more specialized hospital and even received lifetime AS coverage, I am actually thinking it turned out well~ I am trying to see it as a blessing in disguise
If anyone is stressed because of revision surgery, I hope you definitely find a breast-specialized hospital and decide only after getting an accurate examination + consultation
With ruptures, in reality, there are often more cases where the cause is unknown.. After receiving a rupture diagnosis at first, you will probably be in a real mental breakdown, but if you go to a hospital that is not systematic and just improvises, you may really not know what to do and could end up getting the wrong surgery
As someone who succeeded with revision surgery, one tip is: really, definitely go to a <specialized hospital>. A specialist is called a specialist for a reason... (Since it is a hospital that makes its living from breasts, of course it would be systematic)
Please keep this in mind: hospitals must be specialized hospitals. Especially for revision surgery, even more so! I hope everyone gets it done safely at a hospital that guarantees postoperative care too.!!
