Oh, I'm sorry for the disappointing news. How frustrating. So now you have to wait until Dec? Okay, we need to help distract you! Lissa120 couldn't have said it better! Remember, you are a good person inside so try not to be too hard on yourself. Hoping you have a fun summer and will pray that December comes quickly. Thanks for your update...we're all behind you 100%!

Every woman deserves to feel sexy and confident and I am so sad you are going through this!!! I too had a very dark period in my life that was devestating to my self confidence (I battled a supremely dangerous staph bacteria infection that I got from an ex-boyfriend. It spread to my face and resulted in horrendous large acne like sores filled with puss! For nearly 4 months I was humiliated to be seen in public. I wouldn't go out with friends, barely left my house and though I went to work, I avoided face-to-face contact as much as possible. Beyond that, I thought FOR SURE I was going to need laser resurfacing to fix the damage (craters!) that it did to my skin. However, by some stroke of miracle, not only was I able to finally get rid of it, but my skin miraculously regenerated, somehow completely repaired its self, and if I didn't have the photos to prove it, you would never know it it happened. Hang in there - I know you are sad and frustrated and have really low confidence right now, but you will get through this and things will get better with time. And with regards to your husband...not to be crude but what if he had to have both of his testicles removed? Would you look at him differently? Love him less? His body would look different but his "other parts" would still work! You haven't said anything about the Dr ruining anything else on you (ahem lady parts) so throw on a tshirt (if its distracting to you) and get busy! ;-) December will be here before you know it!

That's great! Keep your spirits up and time will fly by. My dad sent me a good quote when I recently had a personal crisis. (He was diagnosed with cancer 3 years ago and someone sent it to him when he was first coping with his diagnosis.) It goes: "Everything will be alright in the end...if its not alright, it's not yet the end!" It made me smile and gave me hope that things will get better. Time heals ALL wounds. Physical and emotional. Look forward to your fun job and forget about this small blip on the radar! Smile and work that cruise ship girl!!!

I cannot find the older reviews can I ask why you had to have your implants removed and breast lessened?
badbreast job 19 Mar 2013
hello ,i was in lots of pain the left breast was up high in my chest and to the side .i couldnt put my arm all the way down ,i also couldnt take my bar off expect to shower it hurt so much, they were expander the left side was dis-place,bad i cant tell you how much pain i was in .when i went for the 4 surgerys to have it fix dr foster put another implant with the expander which made things even worst than before yes you readed this right i then had a expander on the left side and now a implant and a expander on the right side that seam to be going down my whole breast job was a joke .reason you dont see a early review was asked to remove it .it was not my choice to have all my breast removed it broke my heart .i am still trying to get by .i still cant get breast done the left side isnt healing right ,the damage done to the left side was really bad .i really thought i would be whole again but cant do any surgery until aug or longer if everything goes well .thank you for your support .badbreast job

You have me rethinking my doctor choice as I just read a horrible review about my chosen doctor. Even though I may lose my deposit I may save more money in the long run....good luck so sorry for your ordeal. Without knowledge there is no awareness.

I don't understand how you said that Dr foster messed up your breast augmentation but now your leaving him good reviews??? Your not making any sense at all.
badbreast job 26 Jan 2013
hello pam91 i wrote a review telling my story and was asked too remove it !!!.but he messed me up bad .the third picture is what another dr did to fix my mess .what happen too me shouldnt happen to anyone .
pam91 27 Jan 2013
I see, I also have made a mistake by choosing a bad surgeon in Houston for my facial surgeries and am left with noticeable scarring on my face now with uneven eyelids and a crooked nose and i probably will be spending thousands more for a revision all because i didnt do any research im sorry that happened to you and no one should go through what we've experiencedI feel your pain I hope everything gets better for you.
badbreast job 27 Jan 2013
pam91 thank-you for your responce .it was heart felt . i can tell you bye my new dr i know have faith in doctors again. my new surgeon is dr pousti in ca your ,total exsperience from the time you walk in the door is exstreemly unbeleavable from the staff to the surgeon they arnt money hungry they just want to provide the best service possable when i was there last i wanted to start my breast reconstruction but the dr said in my best interest it would be best to wait.allthough i really wanted it done he could of just done it and took my money buy he isnt that way he is about perfection and quality not quanity thats the bottom line. please stay in touch i hope your journey is going well . sincerly bad boob job.

Thanks for sharing on RealSelf. We'd love to see your pictures! Here's a quick tutorial on how to post them (hint, you need to be on a desktop or laptop as of now rather than a tablet or phone).
