I have finally discovered why I get pain when laying on my back
$5,200
Well, it's taken a long time to work this out but it's hard to discover things when you wear a bra 24/7 due to the uncomfortable tugging feeling I get which actually hurts when I lay on my back. I noticed this as I was drying my hair. I was stood up leaning over to my right side & there they were...ripples on the inside of my right breast on the upper pole despite the implant being under the muscle, seriously, this has to be why I constantly feel a tugging sensation when I am braless (which isn't very often due to it feeling AWFUL) When I lay on my back (which I avoid at all costs) I have an uncomfortable tight pulling sensation in the same place, if I forget to put my big hairclip in the back of my hair to stop me rolling onto my back before I sleep I roll onto my back & it's this pain that wakes me up! I can't wait to get these horrible implants replaced. One thing is for sure, I wont be going back to that surgeon seeing as he dismissed my concerns every time, yeah they look okish, but all the other things have ruined my life & put it on hold, I haven't dated since having these inside me, time to move on! Shame he didn't put things right, after all, I was his walking advert but my friends have all gone elsewhere for their surgeries....

My consultation with Mr Adrian Richards
To put it blunt, it was horrible & went like this....
I arrived early despite getting lost. I was asked to fill in a double sided form with all the standard Q's you'd expect to be asked. Whilst I was filling in the form another lady stated at reception that she was seeing Mr Richards 'AT THE SAME TIME!?'
Unsure as to whether one of us had made a boo boo about our appointment time I asked out loud, "how does that would work if we're both seeing the same surgeon at the same time" to which she replied, "you'll be seeing a nurse first".... :/ (that didn't really explain much but....)
The other lady was called in first and walked off with a nurse and moments later I was called through with another nurse named Aggie. As I was alone in a room with Aggie I began to briefly explain to her about my issues but then Mr Richards walked into the room and introduced himself. I was so nervous talking to him. I really wanted him to be the understanding man I thought he'd be considering I had read so many good reviews about him & seen him correct so many bad surgeries or PIP implants but I felt rushed and unheard. He spent just minutes with me before asking me to get undressed and he left the room....
I had just enough time to take off my clothes and put on a gown before he returned again....He looked at my breasts and said "they're not perfect but expected them to look far worse from my explanation and that If any surgeon was to operate on me that they'd only be doing it to get my money. He said I'd be putting my self at risk of complications so I asked him what these would be and he said 'infection' (weren't those a factor in my previous surgeries too??) What about the pain I'm in DAILY?? I have to sleep with a big hair clip in the back of my head so I can't/don't roll over onto my back or I get horrendous pain under my right implant. I can't sleep on my front or I get pain in my left implant, I am constantly reminded EVERY day that my right breast has had an op, I have to extend my arm high about my head in the hope to adjust the discomfort in my right breast, sometimes when I lean forward it feels like the implant is tipping forward slightly & I have bubbles that I can bounce up & down in both breasts and my left breast is hard like a tennis ball. Why didn't he listen to everything??
BECAUSE HE WAS TOO BUSY GIVING A DOUBLE CONSULTATION WITH MYSELF AND THE OTHER LADY, **AT THE SAME TIME!!**
I was told to get dressed and that he's send Aggie back in to 'chat' with me & he then asked her if she'd go with him 'back' into the other lady's room.
I left in absolute floods of tears & I cried the whole way home. I wanted him to do my op and now I don't know who or where to go to, I didn't even wait for his nurse to come back in to speak with me, what was the point.....

I'm so sorry to read about this. :(. I have had 3 surgies and I hope this recent one is my last. I understand the frustration you are going through. Obviously this doctor isn't the one for you. A dr should always make you feel good and comfortable.

Hi, I still can't quite believe what happened that day but I can't/wont give up, I want to be pain free and I want to be able to run without holding my breast to my chest :) Thank you and I'm glad you are now happy

Well I just had to have a 4th surgery. I got CC on my right breast. So my journey isn't over yet :(

Sweetie I'm so sorry to hear all the pain you have to gone through. I just happened to c yr post on my feed. I have a bad nose job 2years agon it caused me depression, gained over 30kg :( I cant imagine having to deal with the pain like you. I'm saving for revision nose and primary BA which thanks to you I will stay away from tear drop. It's great that the consult didnt go well because I can imagine how will their after care be. If possible, do consider BA revision at thailand or seoul (korea) Stay strong! I wish you the best of luck.

Thank you :) I think teardrop are better suited to ladies that have 'some' natural beast tissue, I had none and these don't move at all making me super paranoid when I walk fast or run, I wonder if people wonder why they don't move :/

What a shame you had this experience. I've heard of Mr.Richards and thought he was supposed to be one of the best but it just goes to show doesn't it! I had my BA at Little Aston hospital in Sutton Coldfield and I could honestly recommend my surgeon 100%. I was very nervous and went to see him 3 times before finally plucking up the courage to go for it. I have had truly amazing results with 245cc teardrop furry brazillian implants. I went from a saggy empty B to a 32E. All in all I've seen him 7 times including post op and have recently had my final check up with him. I would urge you to consider Mr.Garth Titley for his impeccable reputation and bedside manner. I could send you pics of mine if you're interested. Xx

Hi, sorry for my late response, I haven't had email notifications, I would love to see your results, I am on the look out for another surgeon, they look better than they feel.... :) xx
May 15, 2015
What happened? Have you seen another surgeon? Are you pursuing a revision still??
July 7, 2015
Yes I am but I have to pay off my loan before I can afford another 5 grand, I shouldn't need to fork out already but.....

I have a consult tomorrow about hopefully removing my anatomical cohesive gels too. I've had them over a year now and they've never felt quite right. Hoping for the round silicone implants. Good luck to you!
