tiger91 Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 I am 3 months post op and my left breast has not moved since day dot. I hate them. Something that was meant to make me happier has left me feeling worse and ive developed severe depression from it. How do you afford revision after paying for the surgery to begin with. Im struggling to figure out how to afford it. I have attached my pre op photo and them now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle and discrete Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 I'm so sorry to hear you're not happy. Have you spoken to your surgeon? I think that would be a good first step? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Win Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 So sorry that you're feeling so down, its a big thing to go through & then not be happy with the outcome. Whats been said at your check ups? Is the left breast the 520? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Do you know what TCI's policy is if a revision is needed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsK1312 Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Hey Tiger91, I'm sorry you're not happy with your results.I'm having the same feeling about mine. I've been in tears all day. Only 5 weeks post op but I have double bubble and they're super ugly and I hate them. I was warned I had a chance of getting it... been wearing the strap since the op and I am sooooooo over it. I probably can't afford revision now so probably stuck with ugly things on my chest for a few yrs now yay. Sorry for venting, but my poor husband is probably sick of hearing about it. Tiger91, keep us posted on how u go... it's important to have support xxoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donatella Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Oh girls I'm so sorry to hear. I hope your surgeons have a revision plan that's cost effective for you. I know what it's like to need a revision and feel hideous it does get better ❤️ Lauren F 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger91 Posted July 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Tcis revision policy is 2000 minimum for anaesthetist and then travel and accom on top. No idea how im going to afford that. Or im left with hideous boobs until i can. I hate them. I barely fill a d cup bra ,i cant wear tops showing them off etc. I hardly let hubby see them . They were supposed to give me confidence and instead they've taken it from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really feel for you, fingers crossed you work it out soon. Xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

summer.daze Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Hey hun sorry to hear that! I feel the same, i had the exact same issue with my boobs as u except mine was my right that wouldnt drop. I just had my revision 5 days ago and i know its still early but im still really unhappy with them, it now looks like its been placed 2 low! I honestly wouldnt recommend using them for a revision. lovethenewme 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leahcj Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Hey, I also went through tci and I'm unhappy with mine! I'm a yr post op now but have developed I think double bubble and have constant tight uncomfortable pain in one of them and nerve pain in other..I'm not happy with how they look either..going back tomorrow for yet another consult...but I'm in same boat as you can't afford to do anything about revision and wouldn't trust them to do it anyway! Hope that it turns out ok for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger91 Posted September 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 My update.... they are still crap lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFox Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 The left one looks great, but the right one (in the pic) does look like it is a little high.Have you had your Skype consult with your surgeon yet? I would be interested to see what they say. Sometimes the surgeons are so different with what they recommend. I needed revision surgery for my left implant and my surgeon did it straight away, whereas a friend who had another surgeon clearly needed revision but was made to wait until 12 months post op before her surgeon would re operate as he claimed that was when the final position would be realised.Revision is such a crappy thing. i am sorry that you might be headed down that way. I was panicked when I needed revision because although my surgeon doesn't charge his fee, you still need to cover the hospital fees and when you have just forked out all this money for your original surgery its so upsetting.
