Breast Implants - HELP! They Look Fake

Hi, I had my breast augmentation performed two...

Hi, I had my breast augmentation performed two years ago. I wanted the moderate plus, silicone implant, but my surgeon convinced me into getting full profiles. I told him that I DID NOT want to have fake looking breasts. I made it clear to him that I wanted natural, tear dropped looking breasts.

After my surgery, my nipples pointed down. The surgeon said it was "normal" and that my breasts we're just swollen and that It'd get better. A couple months later, it still remained the same. He later tells me that he incorrectly placed the implant on my chest. He said he put my implants too low.

I did so much research, he was triple certified. I paid $8000.00. He made the implant fuller on the top instead of the bottom, my side profile looks like a triangle. I'm so sad, I don't know what to do.

What are my options? What can I do? Why do my breasts look this way? What does it mean when he placed the implant too low? I'd really appreciate any type of help or advice. This was my first surgery and I'm looking for a surgeon to help me correct this problem. Thank You.

Great review?

He did not listen to my needs. My breasts look un-natural and fake.

No way!!! you do not have to pay for his screw up. I had mine done and they are fine, but a bit to far apart and I went back, I told them Im not pleased that they are to far apart and they will change them free of charge. And you also paid 8000 for them, I only paid half of the price of even less. Good luck xx

My 1st operation went wrong and I did not have to pay for the correction. If your surgeon botched your augmentation, then you can sue him for your costs if he won't correct it free of charge.

Have to pay to fix what he screwed up??? Or is he making you pay for the Operating Room and Anest. again? I would find out what the small claims court max is and take him to court there.

He offered to fix it, but I would have to pay..So that was not an option at the time.

Has this Dr. not offered to fix what he did wrong or at least refund part of your money so you can have it fixed?
