41 year old mama of 3 boys with stubborn belly that would not go away. Researched surgeons and came across Dr Hill. I’m so glad I went with him and his staff. Money well spent for LIFE CHANGING RESULTS. Currently 2.5 weeks Post op and I’m feeling great and my results are getting better as the days pass Updated on 27 Dec 2021: 3 days PO still swollen but no issues or concerns. Up and walking. Absolutely 100% loving my results at this point. I know I still have a long ways to go until recovery. I had a couple questions about my Drains and leakage, Dr Hill answered his cell phone and was very nice and comforting and told me. It to worry it was normal. But if it I had any more questions to call him anytime Updated on 29 Dec 2021: I am back to work FT (M-F). I have seen more swelling this week than past 2 weeks. The hole where my last drain was removed about a week ago, has finally stopped leaking. I was using neosporin daily on my belly button, but stopped. And now it’s finally starting to heal properly. My scar is looking better and better every week.
This is a warning to anyone looking at Renuance (specifically Dr. Michael Hill) to treat them. I developed capsule contractions in my breast, which is a pretty common complication of implants. I knew that I needed a special product called mesh inside my breast to ensure that this complication wouldn’t happen again. I shopped around for physicians and found Renuance. They looked reputable, people were kind, southern hospitality, vibe, reviews weren’t bad. After meeting Dr. Hill, I decided to proceed with him doing my surgery. I trusted him. I believed in him and now I’m dealing with the repercussions almost a year later from him. I woke up in February after surgery with him, obviously under anesthesia and meds and I was told that what I was seeing was normal. Even though I could tell that it was unnecessarily tight in my chest and my breathing was difficult, but I figured that was the mesh that they had installed well replacing my Implants. I did notice right away that he had failed to use the guide Breast, which was clearly marked. Yes, you can see that in the photograph. Unfortunately, when he didn’t follow the guide breast, he followed a breast that was higher than the other due to the scar tissue and left me with saggy skin along the incision line. The mesh was also installed too tight. Which left me with square shaped breast and flat on the bottom. I’m directly impacted my job and my mental health. He continued to tell me to wait it out, that he thought it was gonna get better, everyone in the office went along with this, knowing that my breast looked abnormal, and I couldn’t even raise my arms to shave my armpits anymore because he had installed them too high, and my chest hurt from how tightly he had stitch this mesh into my rib cage . After dealing with that, he knew that it was time to do a revision surgery. We booked the surgery about four months later, giving me time to heal and make sure that what we were seeing wasn’t going to fix itself, it was in fact his error and it needed to be corrected. Unfortunately, we booked the surgery and then he was ill, which led to the surgery being postponed in additional 30 days and it affecting my job in additional 30 days. The facility then tried to charge me more out of pocket money after I almost paid them $11,000. Knowing the surgery needed to get done, and I had unfortunately already taken out loan to pay for this surgery financially strapped, I paid the anesthesia fee and consented to the surgery. After having the second surgery, I thought things went well, I knew that one breast was still higher than the other, and the scars were absolutely terrible, but it was better than the original botched breast that were misshapen and square and flat that I was dealing with prior to . After three months, I realize that the right breast has now completely fallen out of its pocket and is almost 2 inches lower than the left. I’m so embarrassed, my job has been affected. Self-esteem has been affected and it’s been a financial hardship in so many ways. I reached out and I asked them if they could please help me by giving me at least partial payment back so I could go see an actual surgeon of my choice to get the help I need. They refused. I asked if I could get my medical records, they have yet to do that. I was getting laser treatment today, and the nurse noticed that there has been a bubble that they’ve been documenting and now the bubble has erupted. It’s along the surgical site, I’m not sure if it’s the implant coming out, or a stitch, regardless another surgical complication from this botched mess that he created. I have an appointment with a different Plastic Surgeon tomorrow, so hopefully get some answers and help. I reached out to the surgical center as well as Dr. Hill personally and I have been blocked and got zero response. I will be placing a complaint with the Medical board. You can go ahead and see my journey in the photos. I have attached. I would stay far away from this facility and the doctors that they employ
So I had developed breasts as early as 9 years of age. It was never fun for me. I was a C cup by 6th grade, and a D cup by 8th. I joined cross country when I was 14 going on 15 the summer before freshman year of high school. I already had grooves in my shoulders (I’m very petite; 5’1” 90 pounds at this time). I had to start birth control pills to regulate my hormone and ovarian cysts, which caused me to gain weight, especially in my breasts. So at 15 I had 32DD breasts. At age 18 I ended up with 36DD breasts and those stayed until I got pregnant, for which I don’t know what size I was while breast feeding because my F bras were too small and I was tired of buying bras, but afterwards I ended at a 38F cup. I had major pain in between my shoulder blades, shoulder grooves, severe shoulder/neck pain, redness under my breasts from sweat and rubbing, self-esteem issues, and a very hard time exercising like I used to which lead to weight gain and lack of being able to lose weight. I was miserable. It was fun making jokes and stuff and having a little extra attention, but nothing compared to how relieved I feel having gone through with the surgery (after MONTHS of literally fighting with insurance and doctors to recognize breast Reduction as medically necessary). My surgeon was Dr. Hill from Loma Linda Plastic Surgery in California. He was a nice and funny old man. Very experienced and knowledgeable, so I trusted him. The hospital was wonderful and all the nurses were so kind and understanding of my anxiety disorder. I woke up from surgery in extreme pain, but the discharge nurse helped me with that and was very caring. It was very nice to feel so cared for (my c section surgery had the worst nurses possible who caused me constant pain and suffering as well as verbal attacks, so I was so happy I was not going through the same as before). So far I am very pleased with my results. There is some asymmetry, especially with my nipples but also just where the tissue was moved on the sides of my breasts. Other than that, I am very happy. I was scared because one nipple is bruised pretty badly... but Dr Hill said that will heal and be normal color again. At my first post op appointment (day 7 after surgery) Dr Hill thought I had already been healing for 3-4 weeks because of how well the incision lines looked. That made me feel better. All was well. Now I am just waiting for my appointment in 6 weeks to get cleared to be able to work out! I hope it’s smooth sailing from here on out! If you are thinking about getting breast Reduction surgery I highly suggest to do it, especially if insurance will cover it! All my pain is gone minus the pain from the knots in my back. My clothes fit so much better and I feel so much more confident! I am so happy and thankful to have been able to have this surgery done. It has already improved my quality of life even though I’m only 11 days post op. Updated on 31 Mar 2018: I’m not liking how my breasts are not symmetrical like they used to be.. I hate how the areola are two different shapes. But I am still happy to not have back and neck pain, and that I don’t have to wear a bra. I look more like my size, so that is also great. I hope my breasts will even out... Updated on 20 Jun 2018:
