Visitors' Stories -- Red's BA (page 2 of 2) It was then I started investigating via the web and found Nicole's website, and realized how poor my results were. There was no way I would allow this PS to touch me again. I lived with the unevenness, the L bottoming out and being lower then the R by over an inch and the very noticeable caved in upper pole. I was finally able to afford a 2nd redo in May ‘00. Since it was BA # 3 and having been on Nicole's site for almost two years, I really thought I had every question and answer dealt with. I decided on a PS who was a forum sponsor and I was approved to the Mentor Adjunct silicone study. After going over the literature, I decided on 550 cc high profile textured silicone. My new PS was concerned about ripples from the textured shell, he prefers smooth shell’s to help decrease the incidence of ripples. His nurse’s research determined the high profiles “were not available”. I assumed they weren’t available in any shell. When he and I went over the dimension’s of a 550 cc smooth regular, I balked. They were too wide for my narrow chest and had less projection than my 350’s. He then agreed the mod profile would fit better, but I could expect ripples because they were textured. He said he would try to get them in my original areola incision, which extended from 9 o’clock to 3 o’clock, but that he might need to increase the areolar incision “a little”. Again I assumed, thinking “a little” would be maybe from 10 o’clock to 2 o’clock!! I agreed, saying if it didn’t heal well and was discolored from the other two incision’s on the areola, I would just have the color tattooed in. Imagine my surprise when I found out that “a little” involved an incision from 10 o’clock to 2 o’clock, then extended out, perpendicular to the areola, onto the breast surface by 1 1/2 to 2 inches! But I had agreed to an incision that was “a little bit larger...”. All in all, I’m very happy, I love the size, shape and proper positioning. I am rippled, esp in the cleavage area, to the point of not being able to show my cleavage, but a snug top works well! My PS warned me and he was right. The silicone is so incredibly soft, almost the texture and feel of when I was 25 or during pregnancy. My point is, let nothing go answered. Do your own calling to the implant companies and get explanations to everything. Three BA’s in 2 years should not have happened. Trust doesn’t take you very far when the outcome is poor. And it’s hard to have a re-do when your faith in the PS is shaken. I can be contacted at redsba@hotmail.com if anyone is interested as to the names of the 1st PS’s, who in my opinion, did a horrible job. One is in southeastern WI, the other is in Denver/Beverly Hills. Red
