Dr. Stice was recommended by a friend to take care of a torn ear lobe on one side and an enlarged earring hole in the other. Once the surgery repairing the torn lobe was finished, I noticed the bandage had twisted the lobe. The nurse said not to worry about it. Guess what? Yep. The lobe healed too misshapen to pierce. It was repaired during a later breast reduction, but the interior cartilage had broken up inside making it difficult to pierce and so slow to heal I finally gave up. Haven't been able to wear earrings since.

After a botched ear lobe repair, why would I choose the same plastic surgeon for a breast reduction? Because she sold it to my insurance company. Not a valid rationale. Long story short, initial surgery resulted in severe double hematoma and three subsequent surgeries. My left nipple had to be removed along with most of the breast. Then reconstructive surgery involving an implant. Ultimately, the surgeon placed a "C" sized implant too high on my rib cage mismatched to the "B" cup in normal position. Then, due to all the surgeries, I have ropy scar tissue crisscrossing my chest for which she never offered mitigating treatment.
