Questions for wife’s surgery
Wife originally had implants about ten years ago with adjustable saline implants. She had capsular contracture and had to have one of the implants replaced (left side). About a year later the right side implant burst from another capsule. So she had them removed.
Fast forward to five years later (November 2025) and she had another implant surgery. This time she used the gummy bear implants. The surgeon said she’s obviously prone to capsular contracture and wasn’t sure how the surgery would take. For the first 6-7 months after surgery the implants were symmetrical in size, shape, and height. Recently the right side has been giving her some pain and is tightening up. It’s obviously different and getting more different.
The feeling in the left one is completely natural. Feels like a real breast. The right side feels tight. The surgeon met with her a couple months ago and suggested she start some stretches and massages to see how it reacts. She is meeting with him this week to discuss. In the past, he has suggested the Aspen Ultrasound but said he’s not heard great things. However, he said maybe it’s worth trying before having to remove them if they get that bad.
The wife is obviously heart broken and just hoping there’s something that can be done. Maybe replace one or both with Motiva implants?
Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions to bring up to the doctor?
