I came to Dr. James Nachbar for breast implant revision surgery with high hopes after a previous procedure. While the size adjustment was achieved, I have been left with noticeable asymmetry, including misaligned nipples, uneven pocket sizes, and a lack of overall balance and sculpted shape. One breast appears tighter and well-contoured, while the other looks softer, less defined, and droopy, with excess laxity that creates an unbalanced and uneven appearance. These issues are especially apparent when wearing thinner bras or fitted clothing, where the misaligned nipples and asymmetry stand out.
I raised these concerns during my initial consultation, particularly about pocket size, laxity, and the possibility of needing a lift. Dr. Nachbar assured me that none of these would be an issue. Now, despite spending $13,000 on the procedure, I am being asked to pay an additional $4,000 for a revision surgery that is estimated to take less than an hour. However, even with the proposed revision, my concerns about pocket size, skin laxity, and overall contour are still not being addressed in his plan. This leaves me uncertain that the recommended solution will resolve the core issues.
When I’ve expressed dissatisfaction, I’ve been met with defensiveness and dismissiveness, which has left me feeling undervalued as a patient. A good surgeon-patient relationship should be built on trust, respect, and open communication, and unfortunately, I’ve not felt that has been the case here.
I understand that perfect symmetry can’t always be achieved and that surgical outcomes can vary. However, after investing so much time, money, and trust in this process, I expected a more thoughtful and collaborative approach to resolving my concerns, as well as greater transparency about revision policies and costs.
If you are considering Dr. Nachbar, I recommend being very clear about your expectations, voicing all concerns upfront, and asking detailed questions about revision policies before committing. While Dr. Nachbar has expertise in certain areas, my personal experience has left me feeling disappointed and hesitant to move forward with additional work.
Additionally, I referred three potential patients to Dr. Nachbar, one of whom spent $30,000 on services. Given my loyalty and the referrals I’ve provided, I would have appreciated a more accommodating approach, such as considering a breast correction as a professional courtesy.
