Who was the first doctor? The area looked like it became neurotic

It looks necrotic but that is actually the reflection of the implant you are seeing. The implant was improperly placed and basically just below the skin rather than under the muscle as it should have been

Wow, I just read your story. Thank you for sharing. I can't even begin to imagine the emotional (and physical) pain you went through. I can't wait to see your updates and photos! I am curious, though, as to why you decided not to disclose the cosmetic surgeons name and practice? I would also be curious to know who this amazing and generous plastic surgeon who is now taking care of you is? Anyway, please post pics soon! Good luck, you deserve it!

Dr shah at beautologie did my revision 2nd operation and he was AMAZING. I chose to take my case before the medical board with my first physician

I am so glad your new implants seem to be doing well. Thank you for sharing your experiences, I never even thought about looking at the incision site to see if there is a small hole. You have informed many women and I am thankful I came across your story! Best of luck to you!

I was self conscious before my implants but after having them for awhile then having them removed I am more self conscious that ever!!!! It's literally sucking all my self confidence away I don't even want to do normal activities because my appearance is so concerning to me. I feel uncomfortable around other people especially females who aren't flat chested as myself and I also feel so guilty for being so "shallow" and so concerned about my appearance but no matter where I search I just have no confidence I feel like a 12 yr old girl everytime I look in the mirror and to make it worse I still can't wear a bra due to it rubbing and hurting my healed incisions so I can't even fake having a little something!

I'm so sorry your experience was so terrible. I can't even imagine. Thank you for sharing it-it gives a great reminder to me that this is optional surgery and that bad things can happen. I am still moving forward with my surgery and am glad I have a BCPS with 12 years experience. I'm glad another surgeon has reached out to help you on your healing journey.

Very true, the statistics that were given to me on the likeliness of complication were so low of course you think it can't happen to you but sure enough it can, I'm just starting to feel the statistics of complications between doctors varies greatly with my surgeon having higher statistics I have had a few girls email me privately telling me who their surgeon was & also reporting similar complications so I guess I can only move forward and be more knowledgable in the future who I trust :) I am also so very grateful for this new dr not only helping me health wise but emotionally him & his staff have exceeded my expectations. I hope all goes well for you with your surgery & you have no complications! Thank u for your support!

I'm so sorry you went through all this and ended up in pain and feeling so down. It's so unfair that you spent all that money just to be where you are now. Surely the law shouldn't allow cosmetic surgeons to mislead people that they are as well qualified as a proper PS! I'm glad you found a new PS who helps. Sending you hugs and best wishes, thank you for informing others about this.

I had another appointment with the new PS, they removed my remaining stitches & I am healing well I will be seen again in a month at which time we will discuss a new augmentation. I am so pleased with this doctors beside manner and compassion for his patients. He's also very knowledgable and doesn't give me simple unsure answers he knows how stuff and is confident and it shows. So wish I would have seen him for day 1! Will keep everyone updated!

Hi, I'm currently studying law (fourth year) and am working at a legal office. Just letting you know you definitely have grounds to sue. Depending on what was written in the forms you signed, is an indication of how much you will get back. I'd consult with a lawyer if I were you. There are quite a few pro bono lawyers if you're worried about the cost that only charge if the case is won. I'd think you'd have a good chance. And I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that :(
