    I would give anything to find a 2nd doctor. I live in Northern Calif. There is 1 doctor that would do reconstruction. I had double mastectomy 2 yrs ago, my mom had just died of this. I had to wait 13 ms for her. My expanders were a double D, my skin hurt so bad I slept sleepping up for 4 ms. Implants a B. The skin is hanging and wrinkled. The one i have left. I got a infection ???? in July. 1 month before the final surgery. I had hardening of capilaries my left side was 3 inches higher than left. I liked that side. She literally cut implant out in office with no pain meds. It was 107degrees. My stitches came out twice she yelled it was my fault???? She stitched me up so crooked said she'll never be able to make scar ok. Even my primary care doc looked for another doctor NO, No and NO...I am stuck with her. She told me I could start over in Nov. Then she pushed it till Feb. I have to live in poverty to keep state ins. Don't no how I'm going to survivive financially however I look like a monster, I am somehow going to figure this out....She said I am at 550 cc's gel. They are heavy and saggy, she refueses to do anything other than gel. Said if I sign releases for problems I could go to 750...I will never have cleavage....Disguisted with entire procedure in this day and age

    Dear Doctor. I am very much considering Lifestyle Lift. I am only 52 but a 5 year divorce, including the last 2.0 yrs of breast cancer and reconstruction. Cancer was early and gone, but reconstruction has been a nightmare and am not done...If a patient is not happy or has something that just looks bad will your co work to correct this ???? The reviews are making me nervous, however I do agree with you. Bad advertisement flies alot farther and faster than good

    How do you do a through research on plastic surgeons? I read reviews all over . I live in Sonoma Co. The doctor I wanted wants 20,000 for neck and mini facelift. I am only 51 but a 5 year divorce (i lost everything) topped with 2.5 years of breast cancer has drastically aged me....I don't no how to pick without a ton of money
