Excellent Surgeon Who Listens to Her Patients and Achieved a Superb Outcome
I had previously had breast augmentation surgery with another surgeon. Although the visual outcome of that surgery was fairly good, I was devastated to find out that the particular method/implant used - submuscular teardrop implants - had left me with breasts that looked like they had been nailed to my chest, felt fake because of the stiff implant used (and muscle sitting on top of it), were splayed out, and didn't move as a natural breast would (in fact, they didn't move at all). The absolute worst issue, though, which noone had warned me about, was that the breast implants suffered from extreme animation deformation and shifted several inches every time I flexed my pectoral muscle (the muscle that you use whenever you move your upper arms). Because of these issues I was extremely embarrassed of my breasts and would regularly wear sports bras and cover my chest as much as possible to hide them.
I had a consultation with Dr Ali after looking at several surgeons and seeing the positive feedback she had received on this site and elsewhere (as well as seeing the outcomes of her breast augmentation surgeries). In my first consultation Dr Ali immediately understood my concerns and we agreed to replace the implants with slightly larger subglandular round implants with a lower profile than the ones I had previously. After a further follow-up appointment, surgery was scheduled.
The surgery itself was very straightforward and relatively easy - after a few hours' recovery, Dr Ali came by to let me know that all had gone well and showed me photos taken during the surgery to show the removal of the old implants and the insertion of the new ones, as well as the closure of the old capsule (and showing that the muscle had been successfully placed back on the chest wall). The photos were a bit gory, but it was comforting to see that everything had gone well!
The follow-up appointments were very routine and straightforward. There was no complication during my recovery, and Dr Ali was very reassuring whenever I brought up concerns. It has now been about 2 months since my surgery and I am extremely happy with the results - my breasts look, feel and move naturally, have a great appearance, and the animation deformation has almost entirely gone (I understand this may take a bit longer as the muscle readjusts back to its original spot).
Overall I am extremely happy that I chose Dr Ali - she knew exactly what my concern was and worked with me towards getting a result I was happy with. I would gladly recommend her again to anyone consider breast augmentation or an implant revision surgery.
