Hello bruising!
Implant revision & hernia repair from first surgery.
After originally having a tummy tuck & 400cc breast implants 12 months ago I have had concerns, I raised concerns regarding my breast implants with my first follow up visit with my surgeon because I had a ridge on my right breast at the top which was the actual implant. She told me she was unable to put the implant partially under my muscle as discussed and put them on top, she also explained this would settle over time.
As time went on my tummy had puckers (also old they would go over time) and a lump next to my belly button and I could tell these were not going to fix them selves. In November I insisted that she do something about the issues with my tummy and she told me the lump on my belly button was fat and that she would do lipo on that and also my sides because the surgery created love handles because she pulled me to tight. She also said she would cut out the puckers off that would fix the problem, she charged me $1,500 to do this!
On my return 8 weeks later I till had a lump next to my belly button and puckers, the surgeon looked the lump and told me it was a hernia. I was totally devastated, the hernia was there prior to my original surgery and she was meant to fix it at the same time. She explained to me it was a simple procedure and could be done in her rooms & all she had to do was cut the hernia and put a stitch in at an additional cost, I left her rooms in tears and feeling betrayed.
When I had the lipo and her fixing the puckers in her rooms she did not numb me enough I could feel her cutting & the lipo burning so needless to say there is no was I was letting her touch me again!
I went on to get a second opinion from Dr Phillip Griffin, he was shocked when I explained to him what I had been through and the process I went through to get the results I had.
On the 31/5 I went into surgery again, my implants were removed and replaced with 375cc under the muscle and he had to do extensive work to repair the belly button and stitch the muscles back together to stop it happening agin. He also cut out more skin to flatten the dip on my stomach that had been left from the first surgery.
I was under for 4 hours instead of 2 because he had so much that needed fixing.
So here I am laid up on the couch healing once again. It's day 8 and my breasts already look softer & more natural, my tummy is much flatter & I'm excited to see my belly button on Friday when I get my stitches removed.
The utter betrayal that I feel for my first Dr who is Margaret Anderson will stay with me forever, all she wanted was to get me in and out and any follow up problems I had she tried to do a quick fix all for extra money!
Thank you thank you Dr Griffin, he is a gentle, kind & compassionate man & amazing t what he does. Thank god I found him

Late update
Sorry it's been so long since the last update. I went back for scare revision because I wasn't happy. I had handles on the sides and I was told by the surgeon it was because she wanted to give me the hour glass shape but instead I had muffin top, I also had dog ears in one side one a pucker bellow my belly button. My belly button stuck out on the right side and locked strange. After months of pointing this out she agreed it needed to be fixed under local & at my own cost. It was another $1,500 to fix and was almost the worst pain I have been through, I wasn't numbed enough and could feel her cutting.
Procedure over and healing well, happier with results but upon follow up visit I still have some puckering and my belly button sticking out on the right to be told it's a hernia.... the hernia that was meant to be removed in the initial surgery!
Feeling very down about another surgery but certainly not going back to the same dr

Provider Review
Margaret Anderson
Dr Anderson performed my original surgery and after months of going back and expressing my concerns regarding problem areas and being offered quick fixes at additional costs on top of the original cost. very unhappy with the treatment, results and attitude of Dr Anderson and staff.
