    Sad Problems with my BA! Please help!

    So I had a breast augmentation in June, and my right boob had a capsular contracture. I had to re-op a few weeks later, and that same problem came back like 2 month later (in August).
    My boobs were really asymetrical but the doctor said he had to wait and see what happens. Now I have an appointment to a new surgery on Monday whith that same doctor and he told me he had to scar me under the boob (I had an axilar incision) instead of doing it under my arm. I feel bad about being scarred but I can't afford a new surgeon. What should I do? I feel so self-conscious about the asymetry I can't even be naked in front of my BF! Plus, it kept me away from my first step to be a dancer for 6 month now! HEEELP !

    wow, the chances of CC with a trans-ax incision are the most rare, and for you to get it twice...wow! I assume you're massaging. That's very unusual, so there must be something wrong with whatever the doctor is doing.

    Why do you think you're getting it so much? Why are you going back to this same surgeon?

    I see you're in France, and I don't know much about the surgeons in your area, but is there someone that specializes in fixing BA problems?

    Yes, I have done all the recommanded massages for a longer period than usual. I really don't know what's wrong, and this doctor never told me about anything. I have to see him again because I can't afford a new doc, I recently lost my job because of a depression related to this (since my BA I feel like my body is disgusting, even if I take care of myself, exercise,etc...). So I really don't know what to think.

    You don't have to see him again.

    Something is not right with what he's doing. going inframammary causes more risk for CC as well!

    have you looked at this?

    What sort of implant do you have and how are they placed? I wonder what % of your doctor's patients get cc? How much are consultations in your area? Honestly, I think I would at least get a second and/or third opinion. Is there a doctor in your area that is reputed to be the "best" boob job doc?

    I have silicone implants, 320cc, under the muscle. From A to C. About the doctors' reputations, here in France, it's hard to tell because all the patient's files are private, so there are no statistics, and the doctors aren't allowed to advertise themselves. Consultation prices start at 60 euros but I'll have to pay 3000 euros for surgery if I decide to go to another doctor.

    how much is the surgery is the same doctor fixes it?

    Have you been to any of the BA forums? That's where most of us got information about surgeon reputations.

    yeah, word on the street (or the net ) is more valuable information that a doctor's advertisements. I think you should visit a couple BA forums and ask if anybody had surgery by your doc and what their results where. You can also ask who the good surgeons are in your area.

    It also could be that you're one of the rare people that will continue to get cc. What do you mean by asymetry? Has one just not dropped enough?

    I think what she means about asymetry is that one is up high and the other has dropped.

    Do you happen to smoke ?

    ^That's right. If you are smoking, or doing drugs, you need to stop until you get healed. You need to eat right and take extra care of yourself as well. Being depressed can slow healing times. Also, did you doc do any tests to see if you have any medical conditions that might affect your recovery?

    And are you really only 16 as your myspace says???

    ah snap Zab is on it!

    If you are 16 and you are having these issues, id just like to say its due to your growth and the body itself ( btw you shouldnt be on here but whatevs )

    If you are smoking, drinking lots of caffiene or anything else that constricts the vessels this might be your problem. Same with pot, etc etc.

    What are the laws to strip in france. I would've thought it'd be 17, isn't that age of majority there?

    The asymetry is because I have the right boob 1 inch and a half higher than the left. It looks awful.
    Emily, if I go to that same doctor, I will have no charge at all because it is considered as a 'result insufficiency'. I have posted about that problem on a couple of french forums and only had answers like 'go to another surgeon' or 'get your surgery on monday and sue him if there's still a problem' so... I'm still lost!
    About my age, I am 23 but I look underage a lot, that's why I've written '16' on myspace. For information, you have to be 18 to dance in France however most of agencies won't hire you under 19.

    I've never smoked, no drugs, I don't even take aspirin. I take care of myself a lot, I exercise (weight-lifting), I could be Sephora's Customer of The Year with all the beauty products I use! I eat well, avoiding processed foods except for whey protein... I have a healthy lifestyle.

    I think you could successfully sue him. he's already admitted to being at fault, and then you could aford a different doc.

    I don't think patients get away with suing for CC here. Nobody knows what causes it and it's still considered elective surgery, so it's looked down upon to begin with. Also, many surgeons here won't replace the implants at no charge. The implants themselves cost more money and they have to use a new one since the old is not sterile once they take the capsule off.

    But it would be very unusual to get it three times from the same surgeon. if you went to court, then they would have to produce records to find out if his patients are out of the norm. There might be somethere there so I would say go on Monday and then talk to lawyers if something goes wrong again too.

    Good luck. This sounds horrible!

    I got my boobs done in France through www.crpce.com with Dr. Brabant. Nothing but excellent things to say about him and the staff. Cost was about 5000 euros with all fees, bloodwork, medicine, etc. Try consulting with them, good luck!

    >>> Update: I had my surgery on Monday, Nov. 27th and everything seems to be ok : my boobs are symetrical - they haven't been since my first op' in June! - I have a 2 inches thin scar but the problem is fixed.
    I was so scared to go back to this doctor and finally I'm glad I did it. I have to wait and see the evolution but right now it looks so much better I could even walk around naked with my bandaid and feel sexy! Haha! Thanks for your support girls, luv ya !

    My doctor (Dr. Racanelli) told me in my initial consultation that contracture is directly related to implant position. Are your implants under the breast or under the muscle?
    He stated that contracture is higher when the implants are under the breast tissue.

    I have a friend that went to a different surgeon in NYC and had her implants placed through her belly button. They were placed under her breast tissue, and she developed contracture two seperate times. Her breasts are still very distorted.

    Good luck

    Glad to hear the revision went well this time.

    ViolaStrings: In France a longer transax incision is favored.
