I got my breasts done by Dr. Shifrin in January of 2019. He never even measured me or looked at me properly. He completely botched me and made my pockets (incisions) too large for my body, making my implants fall to the sides and under my armpits. I've had several surgeons tell me my chest wall is narrow and he should've seen this and gave me an internal bra or at least smaller incisions so my implants wouldn't shift all the way to the side making my implants 14cm apart. I have no cleavage and you can put your whole hand in between my chest. When I came back for my 3-month post-op I waited over an hour in the waiting room, finally got called into the room to see Shifrin and waited another hour so I just left. I was so upset about everything I just decided to leave. A year later I came to show him the result of my breasts. When he saw he instantly knew he messed up. He offered me a revision if I were to pay $2,000 for anesthesia. He said he would move the same implants from under my muscle to above.. he said that would make them closer. When I got second opinions they all told me to not go above the muscle and that I would need to have my pockets sewed up so they don't fall into the same position and an internal bra to keep them in place since I have a wide chest wall. I got 325CC's, I started off a 32A and became a 32DD (in Victorias secret bras) but probably a 32C-D.

I'm so sorry this happened to you... are you planning to get a revision with another surgeon? You are thin so I wouldn't advise above muscle.

I was a 32AA and I went to a 32DD. I think I got 425cc not sure but he told me I would to wear push up bras all the time bc if I didn't they'll slide down. He also told me I have to wear my bra to sleep or they'll slide towards my armpits

I had the same experience with the same dr but he has not offered me revision. I don't have cleavage. Have stretch marks and animation in the left one I'm so unhappy i regret going to him he's also so expensive :(

I’m sorry to hear that :( I also have animation on my left breast!!! It’s rippling and hasn’t even been long. I think he only offered me a revision because I showed up unannounced with a family member who was going to get work done by him so he didn’t want to lose her as a patient. He also botched my cousins nose. He’s very sloppy & thinks he can do anything.

This DR. is only good at lipo and tummy tucks. I personally know people who have had work done by him for lipo and tummy tucks and they are very satisfied.
Spread the word. This is only a lipo tummy tuck doctor. Go somewhere else for nose jobs breast jobs etc.
