First off, let me apologize for the graphic nature of my photos. Reviews without photos aren't that verifiable, so my apologies and know what's posted isn't even the worst of it....
From the beginning.... I did my due diligence and went to at least 8 different doctors for consultations. I did 3 with Dr. Wong before deciding on him. I liked him for his granola type feel, seemingly more holistic, and dare I say, embarrassingly now, he was a few thousand less than my other front runner.
It turns out, I was in 4 months of recovery vs. the 4 weeks as was assured I would have by Dr. Wong. The wounds that were made from the breast lift after implant removal didn't heal as promised. It got infected and I was in excruciating pain and out of work for 4 months. To rub salt into the wound, I was told by Dr. Wong I wasn't healing as well because I didn't think positive enough about the procedure and outcome!!!!
After the surgery, it was clear something wasn't right. I was in a lot of pain and the incisions looked infected. He (and his secretary wife) kept assuring me over the phone everything was going as planned, even with the pictures I sent them via text. Clearly it wasn't so he finally saw me and initially for the first month, I went to him post care and he could see it wasn't right and was getting infected. In one of the visits, 2 1/2 weeks post surgery, he made the matter worse when he was tending to the wounds and accidentally cut the internal stitches! The photo attached of the wounds was ON THE SAME DAY after he derided (cleaned) it on 9/9! This visit was the worst but not the only faulty post-care he gave me but needless to say, the road to recovery was traumatic! I ended up going to the wound specialists with Queens hospital when I could see this was beyond his ability to care for me.
I was reluctant to post this because, despite all of this, I don't think Dr. Wong or his wife are malicious in anyway, yet it is important for others to know about his work. And for 4 years, I believed it was my fault that this happened due what Dr. Wong told me, my skin was too thin and to a lesser extent- I didn't put enough positivity into the whole process.
Four years later, when I went to another plastic surgeon for him to fix what Dr. Wong did, he essentially said, had I gone to him the first time around, this debacle and infection wouldn't have happened in the first place. I essentially had a botched job. And although the skin they worked with was thinner it was the way he made the incisions that caused the trauma and that whole experience didn't need to happen!!!
I was so afraid to go under the knife again because all this time I thought it was my "thinner" skin that was the culprit and I would never be able to heal normally if I ever tried again. It's hard to tell from the picture but the way my breasts healed were so unsightly and hard to fill out any of my smaller sized bras or tops. Also, they were VERY lumpy with the fat transfer. And shockingly, I also discovered later from a mammogram that Dr. Wong left the encapsulation in my breasts!!!! What I am saying is, in the implant removal surgery, when he went to remove my one of my implants, the left one was incapsulated with scar tissue and he actually took out the implant but left the scar tissue (that had surrounded the implant) in my breast!!! I couldn't believe it! If you want to see the mammogram photo of this let me know and I will send that too.
I have attached photos of the wounds and what my breasts looked liked after it was all said and done- saggy, flat but lumpy pancakes with 2 blueberries on them! All of that time, pain, agony and $$$$$ for what I was left with!!! It was a very traumatic experience!!
Also, the liposuction that Dr. Wong did on my thighs (to retrieve fat for my breasts) was HORRIBLE. I will forever have uneven dents on my thighs that look way worse than cellulite.
The 2nd doctor that I went to years later did an amazing job and he was actually the front runner for this procedure in the first place. The photo with the stars is the picture of my breasts today. Thankfully, the scars I have from the botched surgery can mostly only be seen up close and under my breasts and not from afar. I cannot say how relieved I was to go through another surgery and being terrified of possibly going through the trauma again and then it turned out to be amazing. And look at that, I was scared and not thinking positively as I was the first time.... And it worked out beautifully despite the fear I went into it with!!
