Breast augmentation (review update)
WORTH IT$9,000
My Breast augmentation years ago was my 1st cosmetic surgery and my expectations were strongly disproportioned, not the boobs! I was correct in my previous perceptions that Dr. Duber was an amazing confident doctor, speaking from experience now. To add to this, my augmentation is now 4-5 years old, 70 pounds gained and lost from pregnancy, and breastfeeding to top it off. They look damn good and noticing that has brought me back here to correct my review. If this augmentation can look this great several years later with weight gain and loss over 70 pounds AND breastfeeding, I would say that Dr. Duber deserves to be confident. Apologies for my ignorance, but you don't know what you don't know so here I am to correct my mistake.

BOTTOMING OUT and LATERAL DISPLACEMENT
My consultation with Dr. Deuber for BA was fun, and informative. His staff was friendly, and lighthearted. Both my husband and I felt so comfortable that we even decided to have his tattoo removal done with his staff as well. As time went on, I felt very uninformed. I thought that perhaps his short attitude was due to confidence, and decided to proceed with the surgery. I was really drawn to the "24 hour" recovery because I do not take narcotic pain medication. It seemed like the best fit for me. Just a few days after surgery I noticed that I was having trouble lowering my arms all the way to my sides. I asked, and was told this would work itself out, and to keep up my exercises. After enough healing I asked what kind of bra to wear and was told "any bra you want". After a couple of months, my uplands has already started bottoming out. I didn't realize this is what was happening at that time. 6 months later my implants completely slipped to the side when I laid on my back. Still, I didn't realize what was going on. I was not informed that this was wrong. I didn't like it, but I thought it was "normal". Now, a year later, my implants are completely bottomed out, slipping out of pocket. Once bottoming out happens, it only gets worse, and you have to get a revision. One implant is laterally displaced. They are HORRIBLE. I'm going to another surgeon, to get a revision, and will have to take pain medication as the revision surgery will entail more. I emailed Dr. Deuber office, thinking maybe I would risk getting my revision done with him, only to have my email ignored.

Wow! That really sucks. I'm so sorry! Would you mind sharing pictures?
I would prefer not. But I can message them to you??
Hey! I know it has been years since your BA with Dr. Deuber, but I wanted to share that my experience was very similar to yours where as I would lay down my implants would completely disappear into my armpits. 2 years post- op my right side capsular contracted badly and MRI imaging suggested A rupture. When I tried to reach out to the office about it, I was nonchalantly told a new price to come out and have the procedure redone ( and with inflation about $1k more) Wondering how you resolved everything. Almost 4 years later, I am still living with this problem.
It has now been several years, another pregnancy gaining 70 pounds and losing it, AND breastfeeding, and these babies look better than the day they were put in. There is a bit of a gap, but that's my anatomy. I've always had that anatomy. I've corrected my review and I'm sorry to hear of your struggles. I think for me, I didn't take into account that surgery is kind of a big deal and they aren't magicians snapping their fingers. You need to decide for yourself if you are worth the risks, which are lengthy. Is it more to gain? In my case it was. I was very young and judgmental.
