Help! Terrified for Another Revision! Needing It! - Fort Lauderdale, FL

Having 2nd thoughts

So my blood work has been done and I was finally getting excited to have my revision surgery. BUT now that my surgery is getting closer, and I've seen another negative review, I am freaking out. If I cancel my surgery I will be out $1500 and will have to wait until next year to have my revision. I am so scared at this point and now every what if question is going through my head. I don't know what to do.

I was dreaming about revision. Not anymore though. It may be inevitable in the future, currently, Im dismissing rippling I have. All implants ripple. If there were great surgeons where I live, Id dowsize base width to correct the look. Instead, Im accepting it is good considering the risk my ps put me at.

Theres a much wider range of surgeons in the US. Some are certainly masters!

Wow, not a good feeling. I went through the same thing, with the same doctor and I believe that, if you cancel 2 weeks before your surgery, he will refund your money. He refunded mine and I had paid in full. If you really have changed your mind, let him know first thing in the morning and you should be fine. Good luck

Still not sure what to do, but thanks for your reply.

Everyone is going to have a different outcome. I wouldn't worry too much about it. He has loads of great reviews and is top rated for a reason. You don't want to lose out on your money too. Keep positive and pray everything will turn out okay. Keep us posted good luck

I know we all have different outcomes and believe me I've been hoping and praying everything will turn out ok.

Asj, I wouldn't worry about this too much. There are always going to be some people who throw out accusations. More times than not they are a bunch of B.S. While there are no guarantee's in life all we can do is do our homework and make the best possible decision from that. And there are always going to be people who have something negative to say on the internet because it is an open forum and no repercutions. I wouldn't worry so much about what Marsha has said because she hasn't showed any real proof. Go with your gut feeling and best of luck to you.

Thanks Fara! Yes some girls get confused with a botched job! No one deserves what I went threw botched by Revis. My pic are very clear what he did to me and how I had my wonderful revision by Dr. Krau. He stands by his work and is amazing!

are stories are so alike. i canceled with revis many times for the fact as i was butchered years ago and my panic got so great be4 surgery day i couldnt go thru with it. he is very talented and kind, and after canceling i think he felt i didnt have trust in him. but like you i just wanted it to be the last time.. he decided that he wasnt right for me after backing out a few times.i dint care about loosing deposits. it just wasnt my time in my gutt...things happen for a reason. now a year later i couldnt be more sur that i am choosing the right man for the job. i am going with dr.krau for the best result for me in my heart. doctors arent gods and make mistakes but i feel it will be the best out come for me. go with your gutt! xoxo

I give Dr. Revis credit for doing that. He wanted you to be comfortable with him operating on you and obviously you didn't get there so he released you as a pt. I do feel this is my time for new implants but as of now, the nerves started again and now I'm questioning it. The fact that I am traveling for surgery makes me nervous too.

Smart decision! I'm so happy you picked Dr. Krau. I hear wonderful things about him and he stands by his work. Dr. Revis messed me up so bad. I can't wait to get these out as they are now causing complications.

Consultation went well

I saw Dr. revis yesterday and he is very cheerful and kind like everyone says. While I was in the waiting room, there was a lady there from California that I was able to talk to and she just loves him (even though she was clearly in pain from just having Tummy tuck and breast revision) I figured that had to be a good sign.lol He walked in the room and made me feel very comfortable immediately.
I asked about 20-30 questions some were addressed in previous emails and some weren't. He sat and answered every question, and he never acted rushed. He said my bottoming out is not a severely difficult case but a medium case. He says with the amount of rippling I have, using strattice will give me the best result. I totally agree especially with my OCD. He also pointed out other flaws with my current implants which I was already aware of, but I never mentioned them to him.

After measuring me, it got to the fun part and we started talking implants. He literally has every size implant in office to look at. He ended up recommending 550cc Hp to give me more projection, cleavage, and side boob that currently isn't existent. At first I was talking 450-500. Then he pulled out his chart and looked at my current implants dimensions, and said the 500cc hp has the same diameter as my current implant.

After the implant conversation, I asked if I should have inverted nipple surgery and he said he doesn't feel it's necessary. Which I am glad because my nipples really don't bother me much and they stick out when necessary;).

We talked about my outer thigh liposuction and I asked if I should have my flanks done. He said he doesn't feel it will make a huge difference. I agree with him completely and was glad he didn't try to sell more procedures.

He was in my room about 30 minutes? I would say I am impressed. I also asked about his personal life, and how he has so much time to respond to emails. He responded that he does it before work, In between surgeries, etc. he even commented about an email I had sent him very late the evening before my appointment.
He joked a few times so I joked back by telling him if he's on a golf league (which he's not) the night before my surgery, he's not allowed to drink that night. Or if he has one of those big yachts then he needs to stay on land, because I don't want him tired. I found out I am his 3rd surgery scheduled for June 19.

While we were walking out of the office, he had 3 girls in the waiting room waiting that clearly just had large breast implants placed.

Overall, he spent a lot of time with me and he will be my surgeon. I will update soon.

Meeting Dr. Revis today!

asjsks
So we're on our way to the airport, to fly to Ft. Lauderdale and meet Dr. Revis. I haven't had any sleep because our flight leaves Detroit at 6:45am. Ugh! I packed my pre BA photos and a bunch of pics of wish boobs, along with waaaay to many clothes for a 2 day trip.
I'm hoping that meeting him will give me some clarity today.

Thanks for following me. I just wrote an update about my consultation

Keep us posted regarding your consult. Thanks!

I just updated about my consult
April 22, 2015
I am looking into both of those doctors too. Please let us know what you decide. Thank you
April 23, 2015
Dr Revis will be my dr, but I didn't have an in person consult with Dr Krau. I'm sure he is a great surgeon too. It's all a gamble because everyone heels differently.
