I've had 3 corrections since my original surgery. I give up. I'm going to a reconstructive surgeon in Houston. I have symmastia and slight double bubble. I'm confident the Houston surgeon can correct what my Beaumont surgeon could not.

My PS has been extremely cooperative with me in efforts to correct my issues with the left implant. In reference to my original post, I feel I was frustrated with the situation at hand but he is a very good surgeon and I just had anatomical issues we had to work around. The first issue was capsular contracture and when he removed the scar tissue, there was nothing to stitch the implant cavity down so it drifted and a 3rd surgery was done after the scar tissue developed. The muscle tore beneath the stitches after that, probably due to me picking up my nephew and a 4th surgery was done. I have been very careful with weight and so far things look great, 5 weeks post op.

The surgery went well and I am satisfied with my results. They will never be 100% but they are pretty close. I still have a little bit before this implant completely drops but it already looks tons better. Thank for all the support, everyone.

I'm sorry you had to go through this again, but I'm glad you are happier with your results. Thanks for keeping us posted through this process.

Dear confusedandupset, Sorry about the issues that you are dealing with. based on the post op pictures that you have shown, it seems the implants may have been too big for your frame. In order to accomadate this large implant, the pockets were probably over-dissected. You will need more corrective surgery to have this fixed. Please make sure that you choose a well-reputed surgeon who is board certified by the ABPS and ask many questions before you agree to more surgery.

I'm glad to hear your journey to a better look appears to be over! No surgeon ever wants to have to re-operate, but as I have said elsewhere, only dead surgeons, retired surgeons, and liars NEVER have re-do surgeries! The "best" ones are those that keep their re-dos to a minimum, and learn each case how to be a bit better for the next patients. That is why experience is one critical factor in choosing a surgeon. When things are settled, pleas include photos so we can see how things have turned out for you. Best wishes!

I did recently post a 6 week followup photo. It is the last one in my album. :)

I just wanted another opinion before I go back to him complaining again that I'm really dissatisfied with the end result.

I would go to an attorney and see if you could sue him. He did an aweful job on your surgery and its criminal for him not to fix them. Although, i probably wouldnt trust him anyways. If theres any way you can have them removed, do it!! They will probably cause you even more problems the longer you have them! best wishes to you, i hope youget everything resolved.

The question is do you REALY want him to do more surgery onyou?
Take your losses and see another PS
It will cost more money to fix

I can't believe you got all those stretch marks from surgery? I don't see any in your before picture.

Did you get yours redone by the way? I am very unhappy with mine, they look so fake in and out of clothes that I have to wear ugly baggy clothes to hide them because I look like a [RS bleep] star with them. I am dying to get mine redone also. How do yours look now? Any improvement? I feel like mine kinda look like yours except the lopsidedness. I've had mine about 3 years now.
