I got breast done on 11/10 I went for second surgery on 5/11 left side never drop.Now I'm on pain...

I got the first surgery and left side never drop.5 months later I paid 900 dollars more for him to fix it.he told me he fail because he didn't make enough pocket.I got second surgery and now left side is bigger that the right.I went to him again and he was rude and mad at me because of his mistake.Now they offering me a refill on my right side to make it even. I have pain on my left side.my nipple is non. I went for second opinion and they told me a nerve was cut.I got mentor 325cc final fill 390cc.The maximum final fill according with mentor is 390cc on 325cc.If they put more on my right side it could result on implant deflation.

Great review?

I have the perfect dr for you. Dr. Mark Pinsky in Palm Beach Gardens, I went from mutant to almost perfect with Dr. P. Please go talk to him at least. He has done wonders with me after breast cancer, bilateral mastectomy and 2 different implant surgeries. 90% of what he does is fixing other drs messes. I love him, read my profile and updates to find out more. I hope things work out for you. God Bless, Sincerely, Darlene

I had several revisions by top surgeons. Each time I was emotionally and financially affected. My last revision left me in pain. I tried one last time. Dr Jeffrey Schreiber in Lutherville, MD has given me my life back. He will not operate on you if he thinks he cannot help. He is extremely nice.

Hi Janey101, yes it is the same place. I was there one more time thousands of excuses.Dr Erogul said I had an uneven breast from the beginning.Dr Omulepo said he never saw that.Another Dr doesn't suggest any refill to make it even.costumer services manager Mark wants me to wait more time to see if the inflammation goes down from my last surgery.At the end no body warranty nothing there.They never offer to fix my size problem, never the less my affected nerve.I was there because i thought I was in a famous and good American doctor hands, never cross my mind what I had to go trough.i went for second opinion. Dr said that I need another surgery to take those implants and get a new one and he need to open to see how he can repair my nerve at this point no body know if it is a cut nerve or is stretched nerve.I never was there because of price by that time I didn't know I was getting a sheep surgery.It is frustration, disappointing...I think the only way for you to get any right is if you die and your family claim.You signed a lot of paper and you loose all your rights.It is just business. They play with every body life. No body care.I was blind and ignorant. i put my life on a group of irresponsible doctors without ethics to work. They are there to make money.The nerve damage means pain all the time, it can't be enjoyable.Thank you.

florida1971 I am so sorry that you are in constant pain. Beauty can carry a high price and some doctors (even in the US) have no morals or ethics, let alone expertise in their craft. I will pray for you that you find a doctor on this site to help you. One doctor said he would fix my implants (1 ruptured) at a reduced price because I was financially having difficulty right now. I met him on here too! Keep searching and reaching out-I'll pray for your happiness! Janey

Hi florida1971,

I know it's been a year since your surgery but can you give us an update? Also, I think I had a bad "lip augmentation" and bad treatment by the physician at the place in Sunrise you went to? Can you tell me if it was STRAX? Now, I will never go to a "cattle call" type of place ever again. I figure, you get what you pay for? Write us, I live in Ft. Lauderdale. Thanks, the nerve damage may mean no sensation during love making? Thanks!

I'm so sorry about nerve damage! That sounds very painful. Did the second doctor mention how long it would take for it to heal? Here's what some doctors have to say about nerve damage after breast augmentation.

I do see the asymmetry you're talking about in your breasts. I hope you're able to get this fixed so you're happy with them.

Hi Angie,I don't have enough work to thank you and to everybody that gave me their valuable opinion about my condition.Doctor said he doesn't know exactly if a nerve got cut of if it is something else. He needs to open and see.unfortunately I cant afford another surgery.I still paying monthly for the first one. They ask me for $6300.00 to fix the size and check my pain. It's been a nightmare for me.On november 22 I will turn 1 year with this problem and some times I got so desperate.at least before my surgery I just need to get a push up bra to fix my small breast, now I can't see myself in a mirror, nevertheless let somebody to see me like that and off course I can wear anything tight, I feel everybody can see my asymmetry breast.
Thank you for all your help.I'm really depreciate all the comments and professional opinions.
