Cupcake85 484 Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 I had my consult with Dr Connell yesterday who was my revision surgeon 10 years ago. He confirmed what I have been suspecting and that’s that I have lateral displacement but he threw me for a loop when he told me I had double bubble. He has suggested Areola reduction, scar revision to stepladder and vertical scar and replace 360cc teardrop implants to 380 or 450cc rounds. Best part is private health insurance will cover everything including his fees as he is only charging me the scheduled fee. He truly is an amazing man and surgeon. My revision will only cost me $500 which is my hospital excess. Next month I meet with his colleague Dr Love to discuss 360 body lift, thigh and arm reduction (excess skin not fat). I will be having my boobs done this year and if financially possible my thighs at the same time. Then next year the 360 body lift and arms. sabP and I HaveBoobs 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I HaveBoobs 951 Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Wow that was a curve ball bet you weren't expecting to hear you also had double bubble, its great that the private health is covering the majority of the surgery so that one cost you won't have to worry about and hope everything goes well with the consult for the body lift must be exciting, keep us posted on the progress.

wantboobs 20 Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 Hi @Cupcake85, I'm just catching up on everything I've missed in the forum over the last couple of years! It seems that Dr Connell is now doing more round implants rather than anatomical... very interesting! That was my main reservation of having my implant removal and replacement done by him, as I don't want any risk of rotating. Also interesting that it was all covered by Medicare, as I heard that wasn't an option since the end of 2018. I think I'm going to try and book another consult with him and go from there.

TheFox 101 Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 I suspect he is doing more rounds now because of the ALCL link with textured implants. I also didnt think medicare provided an item number for revision after 2018 except in the case of removal without new implants Quote Link to post Share on other sites
