Never Ever Choose Him

I had my first breast augmentation done in 2007. I came to Dr. Matas and he performed surgery in July 2018. He removed a silicone capsule that had leaked. He cut and cut and cut and cut. He put in a Saline implant to each breast which later I found out, through other surgeons, that I am NOT a candidate for. Saline implants, in the most basic terms, just take the shape of what he left me with. Basically exposing his handy work. After surgery he told me while I was coming out of anesthesia that I had a ruptured silicone implant and that I should press charges against the surgeon who done the surgery in 2007. Why would u upset me with that information when my husband was there to be my caregiver. Tell him that as I just had surgery. He also left me with a scar that went no where. No other surgeons could identify why he cut below and away from the underlying breast. When I asked him why this extra scar was needed he simply lifted his shoulders and shook his head. Indicating to me that he too didn’t know why he did that??????? The day after surgery he insisted I come back into his office. I sat at a table where he straddled me from the front while his nurse behind me tore from the back and the Dr. tore from the front to rip my close off and unfasten the surgical bra I was put in the day before and remove the bloody bandages.!!!!!!!!!!. Even as I protested they assured me that they knew best! They released me even more traumatized. I continued to take a prescription called Singular and Vit E. He also recommended me to do breast massage as he explained this would all prevent new capsule. I continued my scheduled appointments where he hurt me every time and never answered a single question I asked. At the one month mark I went in for my routine exam and he blamed me for getting another capsule on the right side. Saying I’ll see u again in 6 weeks. I contacted attorneys and started looking for a real reconstruction surgeon. I went in for my last exam 6 months in and just wanted to speak with the Dr. Matas and not be examined by him until I got some questions answered finally. I told the front desk that is what I wanted to do first. He came barging in the room yelling at me as I sat with my legs crossed and dressed. He shouted that he can’t give me any answers until he exams me. He can’t give me any what if questions etc. He then said if I want to find another Dr. to help me I could. He said I’ll give u a few minutes to think about it. He turned and slammed the door and 30 seconds later came back in and I hadn’t moved. He said do I want to talk to one of his female staff? I said yes please. He closed the door again and came back and said she will see me when I am ready. He sat in his chair in the hall at his computer while I made my way to that other office. I spoke with his female staff and he examined me. He said I want to help u. I didn’t believe anything he told me in that meeting and I asked for my records. They gave me my file and I looked for another surgeon to help me. When I presented my file to other surgeons they explained that this Dr. Matas was sloppy, inconsistent and gave false information in my file. My OP report was literally one small paragraph long. I came across Dr. Anup Patel and Dr. Paul Afrooz. They took excellent care of me. If you are looking for great surgeons in the Florida area please contact them. I will be happy to submit before and after pics in this forum. Feel free to read my reviews on both Doctors on Google reviews and RealSelf. I wish everyone the best choices. Please, please do your research. There is no such thing as a routine surgery.
