Tuberous Breasts Corrected
My experience was incredible with Dr Hall Findlay. It’s been 7 years now and I finally have the courage to post my experience so others can make an informed decision, plus know you are not alone! I trust her to do always the right thing and help her patients out no matter what! Please, Take time to read my experience it was life changing!
I had tuberous breast deformity which caused a lot of suffering and depression (feeling ugly, not fitting into clothes or bras, being out of proportion as 5”10, the worst was when men asked what’s wrong with my boobs... ouch) I thought they would “grow in” but once I hit my 20s and realized my boobs never changed from puberty, that’s when I started to research. I looked long and hard for more information on this but couldn’t find much online or many doctors who had experience with tuberous breasts. I caved in and asked my family physician for a referral. Dr Hall Findlay was very knowledgeable in the consultation. Even when I asked about tuberous breasts she gave me some options, mostly my choice cuz I liked my nipples I didn’t want to have them moved if I didn’t require it! She also had newer breast implants that were cohesive gel “gummy bear” this interested me even more as being an elite athlete, I didn’t want leaking or other problems to impede my sports.
The procedure was done in 2013.(it’s been 6 years as of me writing this) Before going in I had to fill my prescriptions; I am allergic to codeine and requested an alternative pain medication which was given with no problems thankfully! When I woke up I felt a bit nauseating but the nurses helped me through it. Fast forward a few weeks. At first everything was going smoothly. I was healing well, the pain medication was properly prescribed and worked well during my healing. I was doing great and thought I could return to work shortly; that is until the accident I had!
My friend gave me a big bear hug and that knocked my left breast-and it hurt really bad! The type of pain I’ve never experienced before, extreme Intense pain and adrenaline instantly. (Doc said it was hematoma) My heart racing and me sweating, I ran inside and checked the bathroom mirror only to see my left breast increasing in size right before my eyes. It was really scary, and painful that I thought I was gonna vomit. I got my fiancée to call the ambulance while I lay on the bathroom floor, feeling as if I was dying. They instantly administered morphine and rushed me to the Calgary hospital (which was a problem, the docs in Calgary didn’t want to touch another docs plastic surgery work! The emergency plastic surgeon at the Calgary hospital said I would have to lose my breast implant and re implant later and I was freaking out!)
Dr Hall Findlay had given me her cell phone number in case of emergencies (thank god!) and she promptly responded when I sent pictures and asked what do I need to do cuz I didn’t want to lose my breast. Dr Hall Findlay went out of her way to accommodate my travel to Banff, hotel costs for my family, and anything needed, she even contacted her preferred surgeon
(Dr. Thomas Sinclair) to take over as she was away at a teaching conference and wouldn’t be able to fly back fast enough. OMG I was instantly relieved! We drove to the Banff springs hospital at midnight lol where they cared for me with respect and empathy plus answered all my questions and concerns while reassuring me I wouldn’t lose my breast. And off I went to surgery again only a month after my initial BA. I got the proper pain medication, the surgery went well with the other surgeon.
Dr hall Findlay filled out my insurance paperwork, and helped me out anyway she could offer as I couldn’t go back to work just yet. She continued to check up on me, monitored my healing and took pictures to show the changes. I’m so thankful for everything she has done and trust her expertise and decisions. My breasts look a million times better then what I had before! Plus they are extremely soft and bouncy, no rippling. Everybody who’s seen them thinks they are real ;)
As of today 7 years- i went for a checkup: I still wanted more cleavage/bigger implants but was told it’s difficult due to my anatomy. So the only other is some minor adjustments I’d like corrected in the future (ptosis)
Thank you Dr Hall Findlay and the team! I will always go back, and refer all my friends. You’ve changed my life to make me feel confident and beautiful-something I had never ever experienced with my tuberous breasts!
