WORTH IT
To fully understand this review, I have to explain my journey. I initially had breast implants in 2007 by another surgeon in Michigan and I was really happy with the results but looking back they were a bit too high and looked fake. But I liked them. They were saline below muscle. In 2011 I was feeling sick all the time and thought I had “implant sickness” so I went to a Harvard Grad, board certified plastic surgeon in Sarasota (I had recently moved to Florida) and had them removed, full capsulectomy. The recovery pain was SO bad and I later found it wasn’t my implants, I had Lyme disease. It took a good year for my breasts to go back to somewhat normal looking. After healing from Lyme I went back to the Sarasota Dr and had implants put back in - again saline, under muscle.Again the pain was HORRIBLE and i immediately noticed that one breast was higher and more swollen than the other. Surgeon said this was normal. My drain on that side was filling rather quickly and I had horrible bruising. I had to go back into surgery for a hematoma and my breast never lowered, very asymmetrical and then developed a painful capsular contracture. Fast forward to 2018, I researched and found who was said to be the best plastic surgeon in Michigan (I had moved back). Well even though both of my nipples pointed down, he said I should only get the contracted breast fixed. Said they would look the same. Well they didn’t. Another hematoma (I should mention I am NOT a bleeder and very healthy) and right back into surgery for that hematoma, which again developed into another contracture. I looked so deformed, my breast was hard and I felt so defeated and self conscious. Then I was referred to Dr Hammond and honestly I was so reluctant after all the pain and money and surgeries I’d had. He is an absolutely amazing man and I could tell from the beginning he was not just your above average breast surgeon. The man is brilliant. Told me not to worry, he could fix both breasts and I would be very happy. Explained everything. I was still nervous but scheduled the surgery. 7 days post op I am absolutely thrilled!!! Hardly any bleeding, minimal drainage, minimal pain and very little bruising. He and his entire staff went over and above with their techniques. My after photo is 6 days out, I’m still swollen and flat from compression and I was lifted (nipples too, the scarring will be almost non existent if at all). I cannot wait to see my final results, but I am already thrilled and I absolutely love this man and his staff. Wonderful people, great bedside manner and they make you feel like family. I cannot say enough great things!!!
