Not Happy. I’m just really disappointed.

Not Happy
I met with dr. McKenzie over a year ago to talk about taking out my saline implants and putting in silicone, as well as a lift. I expressed that I was unhappy with how large and droopy my breast were. I told him that I was a 32f and hoping to be more in the d-dd range. Dr Mackenzie told me that “size was subjective”. He did some measurements and since I didn’t know what cc my current implants were he guessed that they were around 380. So he told me we would go with a 340 low profile implant. So after this meeting I expressed to Lisa that I was nervous about going too small and she told me that dr. McKenzie would have several implants on hand in different sizes and would ultimately make the decision on the table. After the surgery dr. Mckenzie told me that my original implants were actually a lot bigger than he had estimated. They were 460 or 480. However, he still put the 340s in. I was worried. Recovery went smooth. They were smaller than what I expected, but what really bothered me was the shape, but I decided to give it Time to settle. At the 8 month mark I returned to dr. Mckenzie. I expressed that I was very unhappy with the shape, they were very long and flat. There was no outter curve to my breasts. I told him that I had some pain in one side and he told me it looked like one side had not dropped into the pocket. I asked him what could be done, since I was not happy. This is where dr. Mckenzie seemed to get pretty annoyed. He told me that I could either “live with it or massage them and hope it drops” he also said that I could come back and have the breast that hadn’t dropped fixed. But I’m not happy with the one that is supposedly good. So overall, I would say that I certainly should have spent more time with him ahead of time, I should have been more clear with what I expected and I should not have let him choose my size and shape. I do plan to have my implants fixed. And it’s unfortunate that all the money I saved for over a year is in the trash. But I can’t imgine going back to a dr. Who belittled me and made me feel like an idiot for not being happy with how my body looks. I asked him to send me my before and afters and haven’t gotten anything. It’s been over 3 months and not even a call from the office to ask if my breast has dropped. I’m just really disappointed. Something that was supposed to be good and boost my confidence has left me feeling quite the opposite.
