I am disappointed and evermore saddened. I had breast implants 05/2018. I had verbalized on MANY occasions, not only with the doctor, but with the clinical staff (ultimately it's the surgeons responsibility), what I wanted and DID NOT want. I even took many example pictures the day of surgery. Ultimately, I woke up to 2 cup sizes larger than I wanted and one breast never "dropped". I went back and had a revision surgery a few months later. Even after the revision surgery my breast is visibly different than the other. I understand that everyone's body is different but given the astronomical amount of money I have spent, and the many excuses for the size, I feel devastated. I'm so irregular and unsymmetrical that I can't find a proper fitting bra and I'm embarrassed to wear a bathing suit (more than prior to the surgery). I was informed after the initial surgery that I would need a mastopexy in order to have the smaller implant size I originally wanted. That was NEVER initially discussed, if it had been I could have considered that as an option prior to surgery. I later discovered after the revision surgery the implant wasn't replaced with a new one and therefore the manufacture warranty is void.
As far as the entire staff and clinicians, they have ALWAYS been nothing less than professional but that doesn't help my current situation. Unfortunately, I've spent my entire savings and I feel hopeless.

Unsuccessful revision surgery. Dr.
Paine has failed to contact me and is aware of the results. I have contacted the office and spoken to Dawn his wife/ practice manager. I was told I would be contacted and still haven’t heard anything.

How awful for you! I hope you can get this resolved. A facial plastic surgeon has no business preforming breast surgery!

Thank you. I am disappointed in myself for not doing better research. I’ve exhausted my savings and feel so desperate.

I’m so sorry that this has happened to you and it is a shame that your review hasn’t gained a little more momentum. More people should be aware of your story before going into augmentation surgery. I explanted in 2015 after having implants for 21 years I’m currently 45. It has left me with some health issues but nothing compared to what some ladies are going through. I really hope things are being sorted out for you... revision or better still removal. Yes it’s a lot of money to lose but your health is more important. Please keep us posted with how you’re doing x
