Implants removed(different surgeon)

$11,501
I had my implants removed today, if you ladies have any questions feel free to message me. Turns out my left implant had been folded inside my body, I don't know if from the day of surgery or happened after. That's why I had this bulk appearance on 1 side. Well goodluck to you all, like I said you can message me. The the surgeon that removed them let me keep them.

Good luck with recovery
Oh that sucks. I wonder if it hadn't folded if you would've liked the results and had kept them. Thanks for the nice review and I'm sure Dr. Stanton will be happy to know what the problem was. He seems like a great surgeon and I hope this helps the next patient with similar problems
Yeah, I don't mean to shame him or sound rude. He is a great surgeon and like I stated, didn't work for me.
Oh wow I’m sorry you had to go through all these and spend so much and it didn’t go as planned. Thank for sharing your experience.
Yeah, I'm bummed. I was going to do a BBL and I feel like if I had done that I would've spent less and liked the results. I think I spent like 20-25k including Airbnb. And another 5k in flights.
So sorry you went through this. I was going to have this done but I am reading so much about Breast Implant illness which scares me.
implant illness for breasts is at 1% from studies. ...think about it, even breast cancer survivors get it done too
everytime i think im ready to book hip implant surgery, i come back to this page & have 2cd thoughts. so scary. thank you for your review

Implant removal

I have decided to remove my implants, I won't be getting them removed with the original surgeon. I tried to reach out and never heard back, he was on vacation. I don't really mind. I think he's good at his work and I wish I would've liked how they looked but I guess they aren't for me. I'll be getting them removed in Texas, so I don't have to fly out of town. This will be the end of my review. I'm in no way trying to shade the surgeon. I'm glad I went with him and got butt and hip implants. They just didn't work out for me.

Are you having butt implants removed too?
No
no trato de ser ruda oh grosera,solo soy realista.
Are you going to get a bbl?
I'm still looking into some cali surgeons who have experience with thin patients. Pictures are lacking.
Why do you say you have to get them removed if you don't mind me asking?
So sorry that it didn't work out for you, especially with all the money that was spent
Sorry to hear you have to go through that ! Thanks for sharing your experience.

I apologize for the people who have been messaging me, I didn't get any notifications. So far nothing has changed in the look of the implants. Not even and it annoys me, I think having uneven hips is probably going to be the "norm" for people. I saw some other patients who mentioned the same. I don't feel like settling with having visibly different hips. I do plan on removing them eventually. The bunny tattoo side is the one I've redone 3 times. I like how the other one looks, natural and you can't see the implant. Dr. Stanton said, "If this doesn't work, there's nothing I can do". Sucks for me, but now i know they aren't for me.

Dear RavenStorm, thank you for this very helpful and informative post. It is very important for existing patients and potential patients considering all types of surgery to know that not every outcome is a home run. Different patients do bring different challenges to even the most skilled surgeons hands. Although the body is never perfectly symmetric as created naturally, plastic surgeons are always striving to overcome this known phenomenon with the art of surgery. Most times we successfully overcome these obstacles but occasionally we are most humbly reminded of our own human nature and limitations. Every result imperfection makes me strive harder and deeper into how to achieve success for the next complex case that comes my way. I am always here for you and look forward to seeing you soon to remedy whatever works best for you the patient. Sincerely, Dr. Stanton.
Now that is a very good and constructive surgeon - wish I'd had BBL and implants with him
el doctor Stanton veo q sigue con el problemita de no hacer bien su trabajo,no se trata de habría la piel y poner implantes en la asimetría falla mucho lo vi en mi caso y en tu caso siempre un lado mejor q el otro y con bastante diferencia, ya es hora que tenga mas entrenamiento por favor.
Que problems tuvistes con tu cirujia?
