On top of a poor Breast Aug, it has been a terrible experience BEFORE and AFTER
What I had done: Repair and replace (ruptured implant) + a lift
#1- After several consults I chose Dr McNab as she seemed like a great doctor. My consult was in the Thousand Oaks office. Upon getting a price I asked if I could go to a facility closer to my house and was told that it is not an option. That was a lie, as I later found out that I could get this done in encino (a lot closer to my house). I assume that there is some incentive to the facility to keep me in that location
#2- Day of surgery. At the facility at 5am. An hour away from home. Arranged child care. Took a day off work. My husband took a day off work. I went to the facility and got into a gown, put an IV needle in my arm... and was told they had to cancel the surgery because they didnt have implants in the office.
ON TOP OF It being a horrific costly experience the facility didnt do offer any sort of credit or make good on the situation. The manager (Sandy) was the ONLY reason I didn't go ballistic as she felt so bad and was so apologetic that I almost felt worse for her. She single-handedly tried to make things better. I am still completely shocked that the doctor did NOTHING. They didn't offer to compensate for the time off work or wasted day of child care cost..etc. NOTHING. Just offered to reschedule my surgery
#3- Rescheduled Surgery day went well. The anesthesiologist was wonderful and made me comfortable. However after 4 months I noticed that my breasts were actually MORE saggy than BEFORE surgery. The doctor made my implant smaller (which I requested) but did not remove enough skin during the lift so they essentially have a tennis ball in a sock type of look.
#4- I went to do the doctor to see if they would fix it. She agreed they didnt look good. She agreed they are sagging, and asymmetrical. She said it would be a new procedure. I would have to pay for a lift AGAIN to correct them.
All in all - I have wasted money and will ultimately have to pay a new surgeon to do the job right.
