Visitors' Stories --THIS IS MY EXPERIENCE, Posted by: E.V. (p.2) Ten years ago, there weren't any sites like this one, so I went into this completely innocent, naïve, I had no idea what to expect, what my choices were, what questions to ask, etc, etc, etc. It would be unfair of me to start saying bad things about my first PS, "he was very informative and he explained to me a lot of things that I was ignorant about", his advice to me was to go with smooth silicone, over the muscle, transaxillary incision, (later on I found out from several doctors that "overs" were not the best choice for me) anyway, he was the expert, so I listened to his advice. I went from a size B to a small D, I was in heaven! The pain that I went through was nothing compared to the thrill of having big breasts. As the months went by I started noticing that my breasts were getting firm and I was also experiencing a lot of pain, when I went back to my PS, he informed me that it was necessary do a "closed capsulotomy", (is an intense physical manipulation and compression done to the breasts by the doctor in order to break the capsule that has formed around the implant,) he told me that this was very painful and I needed to be sedated or under general anesthesia again for the procedure. When I woke up I was in a lot of pain and I felt like a truck had ran over my chest, the doctor assured me that the chances of getting CC again were minimal, I went home with the idea that I was going to be fine. As time went by I started noticing that my breasts were not soft at all, they were getting firm again and also distorted. I was constantly in pain and they also felt hot all the time. Once again I went back to him and this time he told me that it was necessary to remove the implants and replace them with Textured silicone. He explained to me that textured implants had a small incidence of CC and that the only problem with those would be ripples, but he insisted that I had enough breast tissue to cover the implants and that my chances of rippling were very small, (later on I found out from several doctors that "overs" and especially textured overs" would never work for me because I don't have enough breast tissue,) anyway there I was again under the knife for the second time and experiencing general anesthesia for the third time. This time around I was really hoping that I'd get the results I was hoping for, without any complications. The recovery was faster than my first BA and I was feeling fine three days post. About 2 weeks post, I started to notice ripples everywhere on my breasts, they looked horrible and I was devastated!!!
