I had one implant that bottomed out. Dr fixed that and tightened the entire lift. Ended up with a severe hematoma on one side. Hurt so bad! Would not stop bleeding had to go in two days later after complaining over and over to get it fixed as the bleeding would not stop. It was horrible. They had to clean it out and cauterize the bleeding. They look better than they did as far as the buttomed out breast shape but the scaring was much worse this time. My nipples are different sizes this time around, last time they were perfect.... And I now have a dog war on the left side. I'd love to have it fixed but I had to pay for the repair surgery and the third surgery to fix the repair surgery two days later so I guess I have to suck it up. Over all better than before any surgery but lots of complications and additional surgery costs and also as an FYI high profiles mean NO CLEAVAGE

Things are alright... I have an apt with dr. Otoole in July to see if things are okay. I'm feeling like something is going on. I've lost all poke volume in my left breast :( they look better than preop but not feeling happy with the rests as they are very uneven.

I had a lift and implant after losing 140 pounds with a vsg , weight loss surgery. Dr. Otoole did a beautiful Job on my cousins post bariatric work, was reasonably priced and just super kind and down to earth. Not at all cocky or arrogant like some drs I'd met while seeking a surgeon. I felt comfortable from day one. His staff is amazing and helper ease my fears through the process. Very sore, can't sleep but that's par for the course I suppose. He have me pain meds which really take the edge off and leave me feeling sore rather than in pain. Thanks to you Captain Awesome!!! You rock!
