I had a breast augmentation done by Dr. Rodriquez and I am extremely dissatisfied with the results. I left his surgery suite very uneven, and he told me to wear a strap over the higher breast to push it down. I did that for 3 months, but it did not help. I got opinions from other doctors (online and in person) and they collectively agreed that the surgery was performed sloppily; the pocket dissection was uneven.

After seeing another doctor, I was informed that the procedure Dr. Rodriguez performed on me is considered a "blind procedure." Most doctors don't use the transauxillary approach because they aren't AS able to get accurate results. He also told me that the reasons for Dr. Rodriguez using this approach (to avoid incision site migrating up on the breast) is unlikey to happen. I contacted Dr. Roriguez's office to let them know I would be transferring to a different doctor, and it was like all of a sudden the office cared about my case. They offered to drop his fees (he was originally going to charge me $500 for his time on top of the anesthesia fees) and practically begged me to come in and talk to him. I let them know that I was uncomfortable with his approach and that I had already made up my mind to go elsewhere. BUYER BEWARE. I had an awful experience at this office and with the staff.

I'm so sorry this happend to you. I went for. Consultation to see him too, very unprofessional. I went there for a Breast aug consultation and he was telling me about how he does buttock augmentation, which is not what I came for! I hope the best for you!

Sorry your experience was so bad. I would be upset too. I looked at his website online but decided to go to Miami vs Baltimore. When will you have the revision?

I am SO sorry this happened to you! I went to Dr. Rodriguez for a consultation after reading MANY positive reviews and I was so disappointed. He did not answer my question thoroughly and he seemed to talk down to me. He wanted to go through the armpit too (which most PS's won't, as they can't get a full view to place the implant in the pocket. It really is a specialty type placement). I'm now looking into other surgeons in the area.

I’m glad you let us know what happened to you but it is sooo sad what your final out looked like. I am so sorry that you had to go through that and I hope you are happy with the way you look now!!

This surgeon is reckless. I went for a consult, an he was rude, an strange as hell. Thankfully I have good instincts about doctors, an I knew I wasn’t going back, I could go on an on.. but he’s not worth my time.

Thank you for sharing your story! Sorry to hear about your disappointing results. I can see why you feel dissatisfied. I looked at your profile and the photos you posted there don't seem to show as much of a discrepancy with your right breast. How many months post op are you now? Is the right breast dropping even a bit? Is your doctor agreeing to do a revision for a discounted price? Take care and keep us posted!
Oh, I'm so sorry you have to pay again and go through another surgery. . I think you're so smart to get another opinion. Do you have a date set for your revision? Hopefully there will be very little down time for you. Hang in there and keep us posted!
