Unprofessional and Petty when Complications Arose

I was a longtime patient of Dr. Egrari, having undergone multiple procedures with him over the span of more than a decade. Our relationship was always friendly and professional, and I had no issues with his care until a complication arose that required a more nuanced and specialized approach.

Years ago, Dr. Egrari selected textured anatomical (teardrop-shaped) implants for my augmentation. Unfortunately, these implants rotated in the existing pocket, creating noticeable asymmetry. I later learned from other surgeons that placing teardrop implants into an existing pocket is generally not recommended for precisely this reason. I brought this concern to Dr. Egrari’s attention, but he didn’t offer to correct the issue, and at the time, I wasn’t eager to undergo another surgery.

Years later, I was shocked to discover that the implants in my body had been recalled due to their association with BIA-ALCL, a rare lymphoma linked to textured implants. By then, I had also developed two autoimmune conditions and became seriously concerned that the implants might be contributing to systemic inflammation.

When I brought these concerns to Dr. Egrari, I was disappointed by his response. He was dismissive of Breast Implant Illness (BII), calling it “hysteria from women on Facebook,” despite my sharing published studies from reputable sources like PubMed showing emerging evidence of a link between implants and autoimmune symptoms.

I ultimately decided to remove the implants and placed a $1000 deposit when a cancellation became available. However, when I asked Dr. Egrari to confirm that he would perform a full capsulectomy (removal of the scar capsule around the implant), he declined, citing the potential risks due to capsule adhesion to the ribs. While I respect that decision, I chose instead to go to a specialist in explant surgery who was certified in microsurgical techniques and could guarantee full capsule removal—something advised for patients with autoimmune symptoms.

I wrote a polite and respectful email explaining my concerns and decision to go with a specialist. Despite only holding the surgery slot for two days, Dr. Egrari retained my full deposit and permanently banned me from his practice.

While Dr. Egrari may be a skilled surgeon for routine aesthetic procedures, my experience suggests that when problems arise, patients may be completely abandoned and met with petty, unprofessional conduct. After years of loyalty, I was left stunned by how quickly that goodwill evaporated the moment I needed care that required a more specialized approach. It was a hurtful and revealing end to what had once been a trusting doctor-patient relationship.
