Breast Augmentation Nightmare! I am devastated.

ORIGINAL POST

Breast Augmentation Nightmare!

$8,000
I chose Athenix after 4 consultations in SoCal area. Before surgery, the office salesperson made derogatory comments amount the profile I chose, stating "Oh, you want to look like you have 2 coconuts" simply because I wanted the most commonly request Natrelle "enhanced" profile. After surgery, I was presented with a higher price. Also after surgery, I discovered the wrong implants we're put into my body. During post-surgery meeting with surgeon (Dr. Vendemia), he arrogantly stated that he chose the implant profile "he felt" was best for me (moderate), overriding the profile I selected (enhanced). Surgeon also admitted he had never seen the Natrelle brochure given to his patients. He also says the double bubble on my breasts cannot be fixed. However, he will remove or replace my implants for additional fees. When I picked up a copy of my medical records, another woman's before pictures were in my file. I am devastated!!! I cry every day and I'm ashamed to take a shower in front of my BF. The BA hangs so low. After all of this, I still have no cleavage unless I wear a push up bra. Whats the point of BA if you still have to wear a push-up bra? A waste of $8000 and new scars on my body. Researching legal recourse

You should file a complaint against him! And he lied to you! The double bubble most definitely can be fixed. I wouldn't go back to him though!
Omg!! Report this pig!!
Actually went to a consultation today for a bbl ,lipo and tt. Idk why he doesn't give me ok much confidence but when I have researched him I don't find many native comments
Go with your intuition. If you don't have confidence in the Dr. walk away !
