Revision done! 3 weeks post op. Amazing result

I cannot thank Dr. Cooter at the Waverley house on South terrace enough. After years of being in pain, sutures stuck under my breast, sagging and constant problems, I’m finally fixed and I never thought that my breast were able to be this amazing. Unfortunately I still don’t have much, if any sensation of my left nipple, I’m hoping that I’ll get that back over time because it terrifies me to think that I may Never be able to breast feed. Right nipple is extremely sensitive. Dr. Cooter removed my 225cc implants from over the muscle, closed the pocket after cleaning out the stitches and scar tissue, then created a new pocket under the muscle and inserted 250cc implants. He also went in with another full lift and reduced my scaring dramatically, if not completely. Initially I did want to go much smaller and reduce the size of my breasts but he said that he was committed to the current scars and that would leave me with risen scars that would be visible and that wouldn’t be on the crease of my breast where it drops. I just asked him to do whatever was fit and that wouldn’t cause me pain. The first week was horrific pain for me. My muscle was stitched so tightly onto my chest wall that I couldn’t even get out of bed. Going to the toilet resulted in me crying every time and I would be yelling out for help to get into bed as I could not lay myself down without feeling like I was being ripped on the inside. The drains stayed in for a week as I had more than 150ml of fluid draining every day! The nurse removing them was utter relief and didn’t hurt one bit. Week 2 felt slightly better and at week 3 I still can’t reach my arms up too much but am going for gentle walks, able to sleep slightly on my side with the support of pillows and my scaring is minimal. I do believe there is a suture or two which weren’t snipped enough and it is escaping out of my skin so I need to make an appointment with the nurse to remove them so they don’t cause any infection or cause me any further irritation. All in all, extremely happy so far with my result and I hope they don’t drop too much from now as I am very happy with the look of them.

BREAST REVISION BOOKED

Finally, after almost 4 years of pain, discomfort, complications and confidence issues due to my poor breast job in Argentina, I am finally rebooked on the 12th of February to see Dr. Rodney Cooter in Adelaide. My mum had her implants removed and replaced by him about 10 years ago and I know other women who have had surgeries through him before and he came highly recommended. I am super nervous and excited. I have asked to go down a little in size however my 225cc implants are already quite small, he is worried we can’t go much smaller because of the amount of skin that stretched and isn’t sure how much of my natural breast is left. He is ordering in 200cc implants just Incase we can go a little smaller. They are now going to be removed and replaced to UNDER the muscle, and a revision mastopexy will be done to make my nippled symmetrical and to lift years of this implant sagging over my muscle. I will be documenting my revision surgery and taking plenty of photos as I did with my first surgery. Just over two weeks now!

One year post op. Unhappy. Revision booked for next June.

so it's been obvious that from the beginning I was never one hundred percent satisfied with my result. My breasts have been nothing but a horror from the beginning. Wound separation, pain, sagging, just horrible. I cannot have a revision until next June because I had problems signing back on a health insurance and I was told I had to wait a year... So here I am. I have to live with these ugly things for a year. I guess I should blame my weight loss but that's still not a good enough reason or my 'stretchy skin' for my breasts to have sagged to the extent that they did. My surgeon has been extremely unhelpful. He is not giving me any money back or would not correct his mistakes. He has left me feeling ugly and deformed and if he was in Australia I probably would have sued him. He refuses to recognise he did anything wrong in the surgery. And blames it on my skin. My skin cannot be blamed entirely? My result is hideous. It is the most disgusting breast lift I have ever seen. And I am disgusted in him as a plastic surgeon and he should be ashamed of himself.
I have re booked with dr Kolias in Adelaide and I trust his judgement... Here are some updates

I will never visit this surgeon again. He was a family friend and I trusted him with my body and now I am extremely unhappy and depressed with my results as well as being in constant pain. The first two weeks of surgery were a dream however since my problems have risen my ps has refused to see anything wrong in his surgery and has not helped me.
