Thank you Dr Craft~ wrongs finally being made right!

Despite being almost 50 years old at the time of my first BA, I merely thought my small, droopy breasts were the result of weight loss as a teenager, and genetics on my father's side. I always thought about an augmentation, but didn't have the confidence I believe I needed.
I began the consultation process to discover
I had constricted tuberous breasts, which while it sounds harsh, by definition is a deformity. I share my journey and the lessons I have learned (and my experience) in the hopes of helping, educating and changing the viewpoint of discussions about this with the women and girls in our lives.

This was my third attempt to achieve the above (not with Dr Craft , he was #4) . Previous surgery resulted in large gap between breasts and lateral sliding of implants. PS would not alter pocket and recommended wider implant with slightly higher profile (moderate Mentor to Allergan). To improve lack of upper pole and “ribby/skinny” appearance of upper chest fat transfer was used. Poor result all the way around - implants were too large for my frame and stretched my already thin skin, fat transfer resulted in some successes but with keloid scars at extraction points ( inner /outer thighs) and friction burns with infection and hyper-pigmentations at cannula injection sites. These pictures are 3- months post—op following antibiotics, direct steroid injections and prednisone. Outline of implant apparent immediately- constant tender tissue on underside of breast. Bottoming out to develop later.

Despite being told (1) don’t know what the cause of those lesions are (2) there really is no way to improve the upper pole on you- I knew it couldn’t be so. Followed up on friend recommendations and had consult with Dr Christopher Craft ( there are 2 in Miami- they are brothers). Relayed my story while he listened patiently. Without even batting an eye he said “oh- those are friction burns”. The previous PS, a dermatologist and an internist couldn’t diagnose this (with the PS, he might not have wanted to admit the error...)I almost started to cry hearing this validation and the sense of relief. “It’s going to take a while, but they will go away”.
He then literally approached me like a puzzle he was trying to solve. Confirmed the bottoming out, discussed options of tightening the pockets, exchanging for smaller implants and adding Strattice to support the obviously thin tissue supporting my implants.
He spoke of how he would have approached my surgery from the beginning- how tuberous breast augmentations are one of the most complicated. How they often go over the muscle to stretch the skin and years later come back and go under and replace. Never heard such options before! So wish I had found him sooner...
He confirmed how with my first surgery, the Bellini lift was the cause for mis-shapen oval areolas ( something the PS told me was just fine and that I was beautiful just how I was).
We spoke of potential need for a lift because of the little amount of natural breast tissue I had and how tightening the pockets would cause the nipples and areolas to turn outward and lateral. Complete disclosure- no surprises. I felt he had my best interests at heart. His staff is lovey. I called early the next week and booked my surgery date.
