Update
Well I havent updated on here for quite a while now. But pretty much i did bottom out after my first BA so I had another one done on March 12th 2014. After 1 month I got a terribleee infection in my left breast. I called my surgeon and he prescribed me an antibiotic, the infection went away but within days I was begining to develope capsular contracture. I went to see him again and told him I had been self medacating the contracture on my own from forums and research I did. He told me to continue doing what I was already doing and it would either get better or worse. I hated that answer and within days it got worse. I asked him to prescribe me an asthma medication that was supposed to help soften the tissue so he did & it worked. Then by the next week I got a second infection so again I went on the antibiotic, by the next week the infection was so bad that the tissue where my scar should have been completely wore away and I had a hole bigger than the size of a quarter under my breast and my implant was literally falling out of me. I sent pictures to my surgeon asking what should be done & there was no response. Called his office and no response. I felt so scared and alone. I went to the ER twice because i needed answers and didnt know what else to do. They couldnt help me either. Then I remembered when I had gone to his office about my contracture I made an appt with him that was coming up 2 days after my second ER visit. I waited the 2 days and finally met with my doctor this past Wednesday. He performed emergency surgery to remove the implant, but only the left one because the right side heeled okay (even though I wanted both out because I HATE the size and look of it). So now here I am 2 days after surgery lopsided and miserable. I have never felt more ugly or insecure in my life. Id rather have no boobs then have one D cup and one A cup. I cant get another implant for at least 3 months now so there goes my entire summer being spent on the beach. Im so depressed and angered by this entire experience. My 21st birthday was on the 11th of May and I spent it uncomfortable and unable to drink because I had the terrible infection and was on antibiotics. This experience has been horrific and embarrassing and I wouldnt wish this on my worst enemy.

My cousin got breast augmentation done from a surgeon in Barrie http://royalcentreofplasticsurgery.com/procedures/body-contouring/breast-augmentation/ and they were pretty awesome. I was with her the whole time and she was as excited as you. Congrats :)

So sorry to hear about your ordeal! What are your redo plans?

May 27, 2014
I haven't committed to anything yet, but I know I will DEFINITELY be finding a new surgeon. 2 mess ups by this guy within a year, he will absolutely not get another penny from me.
I've been researching other plastic surgeons in my area but haven't fully decided on anyone yet

Hi,
I'm so sorry to hear about your story. Have you been able to find another surgeon yet? I know breasts can look different in pictures then in person but from looking at your pictures your breast came out nice but in the end you are the one that has to be happy and that's what you deserve. Please keep us posted and sending positivity your way for a much better experience next time! :)

No, I haven't found a new surgeon yet :/
Im getting more used to the way my body looks so far, it helps since my old surgeon is letting me use the test sizers to put in the left side of my bra to help even things out.
But I dont want to have lop sided breasts for my whole life so some how I've got to find a way to afford a third breast job in the near future.

Is this normal?!
Okay so my left breast is starting to go flat near my chest, the picture doesnt do it justice but you can feel it. Also Im starting to see some rippling along the side too.
Not happy.
Making appointment to see my PS next week.
