i am 6 weeks post op form having a breast uplift with implant.my right breast has bottomed out and the areola around my left nipple has burst open right they way around i can see the tissue inside .i am really unhappy at the way my breasts look there is still no fullness at the top of my breast.my surgeon recommended that i got a 320cc implant which i did.now he is saying i need a 380cc and will have to pay again.also he is saying that the bottoming out should fix itself as it needs time to heal inside.which is untrue as the only way to fix this problem is further surgery.and when my left nipple does heal they will look odd.i just feel like my surgeon is fobbing me off.and i dont no why i should have to pay again.after getting wrongly adviced in the first place..

Why don't u put the name of the surgeon so no1goes to him?

I couldnt at first because a solicitor advised against this.but i have a few times now.his name was mr adeogba .he was banned from working by the gmc but he took it to the high court and is allowed to practise again.so be careful everyone.as i wasnt the only person he has damaged

I had the same thing happen to me on both areolas when a prominent Beverly Hills Dr. Attempted a Bonenili lift using 700cc implants, I wanted 400cc's! Going bigger doesn't solve the problem, believe me I'm on my 3rd surgery to correct that Doctors mistake! I demanded my money back, found another surgeon & had lollipop lift with 400cc. Do NOT repeat the the same procedure with the same surgeon, you'll have the same results or worse because of the weight of the larger implant. Run don't walk to at least 3 other surgeons for their professional opinions & suggestions to get your botched breasts fixed! I feel your pain sister & know that it IS Fixable, just do Not allow the same Dr. To Repeat his botched mistakes! Clearly he doesn't understand Gravity or know what he/she is doing in your case. Good luck & try to get your money back to correct your botched surgery due to your Dr. lack of understanding "Gravity!"

sadly my breast never healed it just got worse..i went to see another surgeon for a second opinion.and he told my if i was to get another implant in there is over a 50% chance that i could loose my whole breast.the surgeon has caused too much damage to the blood supply and my nerves.i now have no feeling in my breast.i am really upset as i am now left with odd breasts.one is alot bigger and wider and hangs further down.he has also positioned my nipple too high on my right breast.my right breasts need an uplift again but i wont be going back to the same surgeon.

sadly my breast never really healed.I had to go back to theatre and have my implants removed.i went to another surgeon for a second opinion and he has told me that if i was to have another implant inserted.there would be over a 50% chance that i could loose my whole breast.there was severe damage to the blood supply and nerves.(i have lost all feeling in my breast now).whilst getting my uplift ..i am really upset about this.and also my surgeon who done my operation never told me there would be that risk if i was to get another implant in.he just told me he would bring me back at a later date.and insert another implant.i now need another lift on my right breast as this is bigger wider and is further down.he has also positioned my nipple too high on my right breast.. i wont be

You poor baby I am so sad to see this.
I have had a bad surgery too the Doctor put implants 5 times bigger than I asked for and my nipples are two inches one higher than the other and the right side bottomed out making them look horrible and deformed.
He also did a breast lift cutting vertically when I asked that he did not do thisI wanted a mastopexy which just cuts around the nipple to make them exactly the same as one side was a little larger areola than the other now its ten times worse...
I am in France and I am suing the Doctor and hope to get a settlement soon it has been going on for three years.
If I do not get the expected settlement I will take it to the European Court of Appeals.
I had to go to an Expert in the field and he has said in his report that the Doctor did a wrong procedure so he is at fault its just taking a long time and I have had to live with this for three years..
I know how horribly stressful this is for us Woman especially when we do these procedures to improve ourselves, my heart is with you, all of you who go through this you are not alone ...

Brookeh, Hi there....... I smoked liked a chimney 18 years ago when I had my implants put in. I realize after having my lift/reduction done 4 weeks a go, that Augmentation is nothing like the incisions needed for a Huge lift HOWEVER I just felt like I had to say I healed with no visible scar around my areola 18 years ago. Now that I am done with having babies I had my lift I originaly needed and TT. I see no signs of having any different kinds of healing now from then when I was in my twenties and smoked. Just this time there's no pain in healing at all hence the pocket was already created before. So though I agree you should not smoke, I can't say it's a forsure doom to great healing.

?I had my last operation on my breast 7 weeks ago.
sampantha03September 17, 2013
I found a surgeon that was willing to put implants in last year. and I went back to him 8 weeks ago while he done scar correction and also moved my nipple down as it was 3cm to high on my right breast.as for the surgeon that caused the damage.he is meant to be going to court in December the fitness to practice panel. the gmc think that the surgeon will not turn up .the will proceed in his absence. he is meant to be practising in Germany now. I have also found a number of girls that he has damaged. when I went to see an independent plastic surgeon. he read through my operation notes and he said the surgeon has taken the skin away first then put the impants in.he had caused the breast to breakdown as he had stitched me to tight and damaged the blood supply.

Your original post is from 2011 - and you are saying 8 weeks ago you've had another surgery with a different surgeon? If you are trying to help ladies here, it would be prudent to include the name of the surgeons so others can avoid?? You've had (or still have) nipple necrosis which is very serious and of course, anyone here would be very sorry to see you've gone through this. As much as I'm very sorry for what you're saying you've gone through, I don' think its very responsible to say something like this without details...as amarie300 says, its causing unnecessary panic for people.

Did you see my comment that i had left .i wasnt allowed to name the surgeon at first.as i had a legal case against him and i was adviced by my solicitor.i can now name him.he is mr adeogba and i believe he is now working in germany as he has been struck off in the uk
June 21, 2014
Hi,
I recently had a tt (irrelevant to your experience as I had a different surgeon) however 9 years ago I had Mr Adeogba do my BR (gulp) it was at a private clinic that the NHS funded for me.
Even then he was working in Germany because I can recall him having to catch a plane during my time of op/recovery.
Fortunately I didn't have any healing issues although the larger of my breasts is now the smaller:( they are both different shapes and the nipples were placed slightly too high.
I guess I have to be grateful that things could have been a lot worse. xx
June 21, 2014
Sorry me again :) Just read your original post . I have no fullness in the upper breasts and the bottomed out look(although no implants) and my initial concern to him about the bulging on one breast below the nipple he put down to swelling although I knew it wasn't and I was right!!

Hi everybody sorry havnt been on here for a while and only seen all your comments today.yes dreamgirls i had my final op nearly 8 weeks ago. I got my first operation in aug 2010 that was when all the damage was caused.then i got told by every doctor i seen that putting implants in was far to risky. So i spend months devestated as you can imagine thinking there waa no hope.then i met a girl who had also been damaged by the surgeon . She put me in touch with a plastic surgeon douglas mcgeorge.he is an amazing man.he told me he would put implants in.which he did and 3 days post op i was near healed.that was may last year. I had my final surgery with him 8 weeks ago that was to correct the scars and to move the nipple. The reason it has taken so long between ops is that ihave had to pay for all 3 and in total its cost £15 000.so trying to find the money was hard.i couldnt name the surgeon at first because i had a legal case against him my solicitor advised against this but i can name him now his name was mr adeogba .i believe he is now working in germany .
