Ok ladies, so after taking a couple months hiatus from seeing a plastic surgeon, I have decided to go see one who gets rave reviews from the nurses and other staff at the hospital I work at. From what I've heard, people love him and his work is fantastic! But I have a couple main concerns I wanted to hear your stories or experiences with, one being loss or decrease in nipple sensation, and the other being incision site.
How many of you have experienced a permanent loss of nipple sensation? I expect I may have some for several weeks, just as long as it comes back I will be okay. If I lost it for good, I don't know that I could ever forgive myself :( it is just very important to me.
Also, I have heard really good and really bad things about the armpit incision. First, I read the doctor is more limited on placement of the implant than if he did an incision under the breast or around the nipple. Also, I've heard of incisional infections in the armpits leading to bad scarring. I would LOVE to hear your experiences!!
Thanks a bunch and happy healing to everyone who recently had surgery!!

So I went to my first consultation yesterday. I can't even begin to explain how disappointed I felt after leaving. The entire time I was rushed, no one took their time with me and I hardly had a chance to ask questions. I am completely reconsidering everything.

You should get another opinion. This is for YOU. And you're paying for it directly so they should treat you really well. I would just go see another couple of PS. Let me know if you have any questions! I would be happy to help :)! Good luck!

Ok so as of now I have two consultations set up, one at the end of this month and the other at the end of march! I would love to see another surgeon I have heard wonderful things about, but he does his surgeries in the same hospital I work in! Awkward :/

Hello! If you are willing to travel out of state. Look into Dr. Hedden, Birmingham AL! He has a wonderful web page! Good luck!

If you're willing to do a little traveling, you may want to check out Dr. Kalus: http://www.plasticsurgerycarolina.com/surgeon-dr-kalus-charleston-sc/
I had my consultation with him after a 2 hour drive from Columbia on Monday, and I feel very confident he can deliver the results I'm looking for. I will have my surgery on Valentine's Day! I can't believe it's just 1 week away....WOW! I'll post before and after pics soon. Good luck with your journey!

I'm so sorry to hear your consultation was such a disappointment. Hopefully, the next one will be everything you were looking for and more. But if not, I am 2 weeks Post-Op today, and I honestly cannot say enough great things about Dr. Kalus and his entire group near Charleston, SC. I know it's not exactly local for you, but it honestly might be worth the trip! Best wishes to you!

I am also from Charlotte. I just had mine done 3 weeks ago by Dr. Thomas Liszka at Ballantyne Plastic Surgery. My surgery was at PHM, but most of his surgeries are at an outpatient center in Ballantyne (I was having hernia repair too by another surgeon). Good luck to you!
