I Had the Worst Experience

Chameleon 71
My experience with Dr. Riolo was good at first. She was very nice. I explained to her in detail what I wanted and she listened. When it came time for surgery, it was a nightmare. I had implants already from another doctor but wanted new implants. I had originally had saline implants, 550cc's, but not behind the muscle. So this time I was getting silicone implants behind the muscle and I wanted a full size bigger, which would be 650cc's. Dr. Riolo also offered to cut off some fat near my underarms. First off, my surgery was over 7 hours long, second, my breasts look like Dr. Riolo made them a 100 cc's smaller, third, I lost the cleavage I had and believe me when I say no one can tell I had my breasts redone. I just has my breasts redone in January of 2018 and they're already drooping. I was left with such ugly scars, especially where Dr. Riolo supposedly cut out fat. The fat is still there, but I'm left with ugly scars. My breasts are so ugly. I will not let my wife see me without a shirt. I used to sleep without a shirt in the summer and I refuse to because my breasts and scars are so ugly. $12,000 I paid and I got a botched job! When I brought up my concerns to Dr. Riolo, she offered to "fix" them, but I would have to pay for the anesthesiologist, the use of the OR room, and pay for new implants. What is wrong with this picture? Dr. Riolo is admitting my breasts look smaller and admitting I need a lift which was supposed to be taken care of the first time. I'm so angry. I feel the money should come out of her pocket. She has ruined my self esteem even more than it was ruined to begin with. Never will I recommend her to anyone. Every day I shower and have to see these breasts I'm stuck with, I wanna cut them out myself! I'm extremely upset. What a joke. Smh

Thank you for your honesty. I understand your sorrows. I have been reviewing Dr. Burns in Dallas and Dr. Bednar in North Carolina for the last year. They do fat transfers to breasts. Both Drs reviews say Drs are true sculptures in their field. I am not recommending. Only saying possible may get more help.

Just had that same kind of experience, but worh me the anesthesiologist jnocked me out under Dr. orders. The sickest thing is she did it so the Dr could let my husband who didn’t even pay for the surgery choose my new implant size!!! And guess what? Instead of going larger like we discussed they are the exact same size as before.
