I am still devastated and embarrassed

HORRIBLE

I got breast implants from dr romano. He never discussed different implant profiles for me, I didn't even know about them. Instead, he did moderate profile implants -- which all three plastic surgeons I consulted with afterwards said were too wide and too large for my frame. In fact most PS don't even use moderates anymore. Then he overdissected the pocket in every direction. Both implants bottomed out and I had symmastia. I could not even look at myself in the mirror without crying. Prior to this my breasts were small but pretty perky -- I never breastfed but had upper breast fullness loss and pseudoptosis. Now I was 33 with the low flat beasts of a busty 70 year old woman.
It was disgusting. I am still devastated and embarrassed.
I would *never* let him touch me again in a surgery room. I had to pay over $10,000 for capsulorraphy and implant replacement with another doctor. I've been afraid to even post this review as he did not make me feel comfortable discussing what I really wanted, just rushed and as if he had the answers. Well, I trusted him and this is how it ended up. If I could go back, even though my second surgeon has fixed a lot of the damage, I would never EVER have done this.

On the left is my breasts before getting my recent revision. On the right is my revision — it still had not rounded out but you can compare for yourself. The revision is only getting BETTER and rounder — AND it actually has MORE volume.
Moderate profile implants were the complete WRONG choice for my frame and THREE plastic surgeons told me this! They made me look wider! They were low and flat even without bottoming out. Dr Romano never even TOLD me about implant profiles.

Symmastia
StarryChairsApril 28, 2021
This picture shows the symmastia. The bra and angle make them *look* a little better but you can see how then aren’t separated. They had no upper pole fullness, my nipples pointed up, wrinkles all between them and on the bottom, fell into my armpits when I laid down. It felt like having heavy sacks falling off my chest.

It's like a uniboob

Yes can you imagine I paid $13,500 for this? Devastated. Pretty sure docs shouldn't put implants that are way too wide for someone's frame into their bodies. Thank god I got a revision. Still healing from my second surgery but looking better every day.

Thank goodness that you are a kind hearted person and did not go off the deep end and get after this doc for a botched job. You are just too nice. I would be outraged!!!! Happy healing my friend. Hugs.

Are you sure you are my patient? I have never seen you for such a problem nor have I ever in my career created a synmastia. Hmm? I am clear when and why i would use a particular profile and sorry to hear about your story. Why have i not seen you back in the office? I am always dedicated to correcting anything you are not pleased with. Please call. Dr Romano
