Completely Let Me Down

I'll try to keep this as short as possible but believe me is a lot to it I went to Dr Corbin in 1991 how to breast augmentation and 25 years later I noticed they didn't look quite right so I thought it's time to do a revision I went back to Dr Corbin long story short very long story short he simply replace the implant with larger ones he did not alter the pockets he did not fix the bottom doubt pocket I had a Snoopy deformity in one breast and the other breast with bottomed out is capsular contracture in the left breast he was extremely vague I saw him from maybe 3 minutes during the consultation and I did not get to try on a bra with sizers I simply guess that what size I should get I currently had 450 CC's and they look small because they were so deformed looking and I had nothing to go off of I Never Had It implant in my hand so Dr Corbin said 700 ultra high profile silicon round I knew something was wrong in my gut and I called him at least five times before surgery his exact words Maria stop obsessing you're driving yourself crazy I paid him $11,000 is and the day of surgery I was very apprehensive I wanted to back out of the surgery he said there would be a fee and I felt an enormous amount of pressure on me I continued to ask him what are you going to do to reinforce the bottom of the pockets so they don't bottomed out? I asked him about the dermal Matrix material he told me that stuff the internal bra is a scam he said I am overthinking things and that's when he ordered the anesthesiologist to put me to sleep he said please put her out of her misery and put all of us out of the misery of her. I woke up four and a half hours later very confused I was freezing cold I was completely naked there was no ace bandage around me there was no bra on me I had to put it on myself needless to say the results are not good and he refuses to give me any money back of course and I would never go back to him again I'm just going to leave it at that most likely he'll be retired this year his license expires in November and he has a lot negative things on his record with the medical board and he was recently sued for and and the plaintiff was awarded $400,000 this was in 2017 not to mention his conviction of smuggling implants in the country when they were banned by the FDA the list goes on and on if you want to go to him it's a roll of the dice

It's one thing when you don't get what you want, it's another to be treated like trash during your entire experience. Receiving both is just unacceptable. I'm sorry this happened to you.

I'm so sorry you had such a horrible experience with this doctor. I hope you find some comfort in knowing that by sharing your experience you may help others.

you said it perfectly about being treated like trash etc... and I hope this does help somebody even if it's one person it's so important to self educate before going to see a plastic surgeon because if you don't know and you simply don't know and you take their word for everything if I could do it all over again I would walk in there completely self-educated and knowing what I needed to have done but I had no clue

I don't know what happened to your surgery and I am also aware that plastic surgeons make us sign all kinds of documents to let them get away from any kind of liability. However, in a case like yours I would still try a lawsuit. The reason is visible and crystal clear - you can't let this ashole to get way with something like this. And I am telling you this because I've also been in your position - my breasts were deformed after a procedure and I became deeply depressed. I then corrected with another surgery and now I am ok, but the trauma of having your body deformed will be forever in my mind.

Also, please please please share your story to all reality tv shows about botched plastic surgery - if they accept your case they will fix you free of cost and show it on television. Your case seem to be an easy one to be accepted. I've seen cases way less deformed in these tv shows and they get accepted. Please promise you will at least try it. Please don't give up.

Ok I read your entire review. Your case seem quite easy to be fixed - it looks quite similar to mine. My surgeon, Dr. Franklin Richards in Bethesda MD fixed it for me and it was quite easy. He used permanent internal sutures and said I didn't need any other sort of material to hold up my implants (no Matrix no nothing). It was quite an easy surgery - I am 100% sure that your breasts can be easily fixed. You were just unlucky, ending up in hands of an unethical ashole, but please don't give up - I feel your pain, I've been there!
