Well everything whats very nice till the day of the surgery. They left my alone in a room and gave me a xanax to claim my nerves... I was hooked up to an ivy had to use the restroom really badly I remember I tryed yelling for an nurse or some one to help me.. I kept waiting and waiting.... I was about to go on my self... So i got up and I walked my self to the restroom... and the restroom was trash's and I was shocked... there was like shit everywhere it was gross....


Then i turn around and there was Dr Y they where ready for me... he had a bit of blood on hit shirt... I was like ok he is a plastic surgon i imagem that would happen somtimes...

Well I laid down... I remember being scared and they put me under I woke up... Did not remember much work up with big boobs!

Now I have Symastia... So Bad where I dont know if it can be fixed... No plastic surgon will even. try....

Dr Y said he would take my implants out... or make them smaller... but he doesnt wanna fix the problem... He wont even responde... and he still wants me to pay for the surgery ether way.....

I was a model... Now no one will hire me =(



Updated on 19 Jul 2011:
Dr Y has since said he would see me again to talk about what is going on... how ever they booked me over someone else so the time I was supposed to come in at I cant now.

Last time i talked to him about revision

he said it will be 3,500 to swap out the implants... I said what about the middle cleveage line....
He quickly walked out and said all i am gonna do it swap out the implants.

I have no problem with him swaping out the implants if it will fix the problem... I am going back in to talk to him about what he is actually going to do... because my last consualt. with him was very disappointing.

I know Dr Y is good at what he does. But this matter has not been handled well. His P.A. Is back in town and she wasnt in town at the time of all this she has been in really good contact with me... and is helping to smooth things out...

I will be posting more updates.

I am moving to undecided i talked with Dr. Y. we he is going to go in and do another surgery. he is going to stitch me up all the way around my breast. He said he wont use alloderm on me tho. I am a bit nervous about that...
Lets see if he can fix me...
I am going to pay 4400 he said this is the "cost" of everything...
Lets see if he can fix me.

Updated on 17 Nov 2011:
I decided not to use him. Because I felt like he was lieing to me.

Now he is getting lawyers to threaten me... I have said is 100% true.

Updated on 4 Jan 2012:
My boobs are really starting to hurt.... they are so sore lately... I know why...
DR Y read this review and he just "dismissed me from his care"...
but he did that before eh even said that...
I would like to go to him and see if everything is normal but I know everything isnt normal.
He would...
Still I am planning on getting them fixed soon but its going to cost allot... Symastia is a very hard problem to fix. I really wished the dr yarish would have worked with me and wasnt just trying to rip me off at every turn...
it seems like he wanted to make money even off my revision =(

Updated on 8 Feb 2012:
My revision is coming up, Dr Moliver is Doing it. I am going to have to to give Dr Moliver money to fix Dr Yarish's Terriable mistakes bringen the total spent on this surgery to 15,600.

The Mental Damage that has been done by having symmastia, I am hoping is repairable it took a huge hit in my confidence and effected my daily life. Dr Yarish said "I was already this way, People don't become depressed because they boobs aren't prefect." I tell him my chest rubs raw because my chest lifts in the middle so far. You try having the pains in the middle of the night where it feels like you chest is ripping. Is that enought to make a normal human depressed.
Now add looking like a freak in a bikini.

I just cant wait to be normal again.

... I keep coming back and thinking i can't belive this man put me threw all of this pain =(

Updated on 16 Feb 2012:
I am recovering from my Revision surgery that Dr. Y didn't do..... its gonna be a long recovery...

Updated on 1 Mar 2012:
BTW, he started using the Name "Dr. Robert S.".

Also I didn't know this till my surgeon told me he told me that my skin is also detached from the muscle.

Updated on 10 May 2012:
I AM still dealing with everything that this doctor did to me.... I hate him =(

This review is the subjective opinion of a RealSelf member and not of RealSelf, Inc.

Helpful review?

My Doctor: R. Scott Yarish, MD

My rating:

He offered to repair it but I did not feel he was educated enough about what he did to me to be able to fix it when i brought it up to him the first time.... he told me that nothing was wrong and i can live with it..... HOW CAN ANYONE LIVE WITH THIS.... Anyways I am done!

LiL SIS 19 Jun 2011
OMG.. i would be talking to a lawyer too..

im so sorry this has happened to you.. i really hope you do find a surgeon to fix the problem..
carolinelucys 20 Jun 2011
sue him.... i'm sure someone can fix them it for you..poor baby
pfsvp 20 Jun 2011
Your chest is so narrow and those implants look way too wide and large for your frame. I'm not an expert but it looks like you bottomed out too.

What does the release you signed say about revisions? I'm sorry you are going through this. I would have him take them out right away. Wait until you heal and see a specialist.

I feel sooo bad that the doctor and vacilities were not sterial, and you had to go through with the operation because you were slightly controled by the xanax. I will pray for your recovery in the hopes that you find another doctor to rectify the medial disater. Maybe you should send a letter with theses pics to "The Doctors" on tv. THEN SUE THE HOSPITAL AND THE DR. Y!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOD BLESS

So sorry to hear this Ariana. Thanks for sharing your story so that people should avoid this plastic surgeon. I hope you can find a lawyer that can fight to get your $ back. It is fixable, I've read on some cases like yours. Hopefully you can get your $ back and go elsewhere to get it fixed.

I wish you well!
Ashley Ann 23 Jun 2011
Thank you for posting your story. It's really helpful for people like me, doing research, and hopefully motivating others who did not think it was that important. Most importantly for you, I'll pray that you get what you deserve and waht you want!

Oh my. I'm so sorry you had to go through this. There are very few things that can't be at least seriously improved. You might want to consider posting your photos and question to the doctors here on RealSelf to see what sort of guidance they can offer.

Go here to do that.

I am sorry your results (as well as your surgical experience, especially with the restroom) were so bad. This is not the case with the vast majority of ABPS-certified plastic surgeons who do this kind of surgery.

Your symmastia and bottoming out can both be corrected. I have seen these problems with all too many patients, and even more so in transgender patients (I have been performing surgical procedures for transgender patients for over two decades), who have some specific anatomic considerations that I have taught about for years.

Just as an aside, bad results are often the cause of much anger and understandable temptation to engage the services of a lawyer. Seeing a lawyer about bad results that are neither negligent nor malpractice will gain you nothing but a huge waste of time and even more anger at the "injustice" of it all. Instead focus your energy on your surgeon, who should be more than happy to either work out a way to revise his work to your mutual satisfaction, and with clear understanding of the costs involved and who is responsible for what (this should ALWAYS be spelled out prior to surgery so no ill-feelings are caused when things don't work out as planned). If he won't respond to you, seek care elsewhere, and consider a complaint to the state medical board. But remember, bad results don't qualify, since every surgeon has less-than-stellar results occasionally. How he or she deals with them is the mark of a good surgeon!

When a doctor clearly violates standards of care or performs negligent surgery, then legal recourse is appropriate.

If you have lost trust with your breast surgeon, seek out ABPS-certified, experienced plastic surgeons who do lots of breast surgery, and preferably someone who sees lots of transgender patients as well. For some of my before and after photos of trans patients, you can look in my photo section on this site, or go to the photogallery on my website. Good luck and best wishes!

Richard H. Tholen I called your office today to get infromation. Your Assitant said maybe I should try contacting you on here.
I am very interested in an online consulation.

Hi Ariana,

I would be happy to discuss your concerns and try to make some recommendations that make sense to you. I can answer general questions, but to get really specific as to details of a revision surgery, it might be more productive to talk by phone with a full set of photos to refer to. You can call my office and leave your contact information and I will be happy to call you in person. You can send photos to {removed by RealSelf to protect you from spambots. Please communicate through RealSelf's PM system}. I look forward to speaking with you!

BTW, I am responding to this while out of town. I return to Minneapolis Tuesday 25th. i can call you after then, and that will give you time to take a good set of up-to-date photos to send. Thanks, Dr. T

Have a great Vacation, You Ast. told me it was something you have been planning for a while just contact me back When. I will shoot you an email

That is sad, it seems like anyone can be a "plastic surgeon" these days and the government should really crack down on these half ass docs doing half ass work. I hate to admit it, but I myself have wasted money on a couple of these "plastic surgeons" who take your money and do crappy lazy half ass work. My best advice to anyone who is looking to get plastic surgery, find someone who is GREAT at what they do, good just isn't enough anymore. And before and after pics dont tell you jack sh*t! Doctor's pics can be photoshopped, they could be using pics of another doctor they partnered with, or they could be using different equipment now than they were when they took the pics...so keep all of that in mind when finding a doctor.
pfsvp 27 Jul 2011
I would let him take the implants out but I would not let him replace them if he is unwilling to correct the problem.
Jennygirl 7 Aug 2011
It looks like you went too big. Bigger is not always better. I hope you are able to get it fixed.
Ariana Veri 13 Mar 2012
Well jenny if they where to big he should have informed me of this... Btw he never measured my chest during the consultation. He wanted to do it in 2 steps witch i agreeed to he was gonna go 600cc's but when i woke up it was 850 he said i was able to do it all in one shot....
LiL SIS 7 Aug 2011
i dont think you went too big.. i think you will have beautiful breasts once the symastia problem has been fixed.
am following your story with interest.. look forward to your after pics
Ariana Veri 10 Aug 2011
Yes, I was going to have the dr fix my Symastia... but.... I cant have him do it .it is just way to much stress i rather have somone who delivers proof that they have fixed it before =).
Dr Y. Lied to many times to me...
I'd be happy to talk to you if you wish. Please call my office next week; I'm not in surgery Tuesday afternoon and Friday mornings, or you can leave your contact information and I'll call you in the evening.
booie34 6 Jan 2012
you should your local tv news station and get this guys nameout there, go to the media they love this sort of thing, i would so do that if i were in your situtation.
anon5259 12 Jan 2012
OMG! You need to go to the media! He stuffed your surgery and is responsible for fixing it! Don't rest on this! You have rights, I was would beyond furious if I were you, my surgery went wrong also but my doctor is going to fix it at his cost, even covering my flights and accommodation.
Ariana Veri 13 Mar 2012
Your surgeon is super awesome sounding. Dr Y only cares about money. he did not care about me.... I still have nightmares almost every-night. I am really hopping one day I will be able to look past all this.
AveMaria 31 Jan 2012
Do not get nothing done by him even if he does it for free. He does a lot of studies for the FDA he is one of the 26 docs nationwide. Your problem can be corrected. Unfortunately I was just a lab rat for him. I fell for his line of charity for children with deformities but one of his nurses said we are the ones that pay for it. Wish you the best .
Ariana Veri 31 Jan 2012
That's sad to say that I am not the only person that Dr Yarish has done, something like this to. Pleas share your story with the website people need to know about this stuff.
