Breast Lift Options After 2 Breast Surgeries? What to Do Next? Can I Get a Refund on my Surgery? (photo)

I had 360cc breast implants put in in 2007 due to saggy/breastfeeding breasts which are too big for me (34DDD). I consulted a surgeon asking for the smallest saline implants available and a lift to reduce me to 34C. Was told he would do a lollipop lift and replace implant with a smaller implant a 240cc. I had the surgery done a month ago...no lollipop was done but he did a crescenteric lift. I am the exact same size and very unhappy. What surgical options do I have? I need to be smaller.HELP

Changing plans in plastic surgery

It would be rare to encounter a situation that would require a dramatic alteration, and I can't think of one in your case that would have led from going to a crescenteric lift alone. As long as you truly understaood the plan, you have a right to be upset. You should discuss this candidly with the... more
