Didn’t Care What I Wanted

My breast got huge during breast feeding, going from a B to a D. I breast fed two babies and ended up with deflated breasts with sagging skin. I was uncomfortable with Troxel and regret having my surgery with her. She didn’t care about the results I wanted and was more focused on what she thought was the fix. She told me I “wasn’t a candidate for under the muscle implants” with no explanation for why. She told me I would be “flat chested” if I had just a lift, as I wanted to talk alternatives to implants. I told her I didn’t want to go big and would prefer a lift and smaller implants - which quickly became the Vogue after my surgery. She disregarded that, told me I didn’t need a lift but went up the implant size twice to fill in the skin. Once before surgery, going about 30-50cc over my choice based on my goal and again choosing an even bigger size while she was marking me for surgery. At that point I had paid for the surgery, was naked, with an IV, pen marked, and vulnerable. I didn’t feel like I had a choice.
Mind you she has implants and a big cup size herself. I feel that she just foisted her own sense of beauty on me rather than giving me what I wanted. I was unhappy with the size after surgery and could feel the implant from 3 side (on top, under, and over) - gross. I looked like a stripper, not my goal. Her reaction to my thinking they were too big was to say she thought they looked great and see you later. I didn’t expect her to fix it, but she was personally insulted that I didn’t applaud her work. Totally unprofessional and caused by her disregarding my goal from the start. I later developed contracture on the breast that has significant bruising after surgery and choose not to go back to her even if it would have been cheaper to have her replace the implants. I didn’t want to be subjected to her ego again. Neither of the surgeons I consulted said I “wasn’t a candidate” for under muscle implants and those would have lessened the chances of contracture and feeling the implants. I suspect she did what was easier for her surgery wise. I ended up getting the implants removed and not replaced. Contracture is a real risk for anyone and more so once you have had it. I am getting breast fat transfer out of state with a doc who specializes and has high RealSelf ratings. Pick you doctor carefully. If you don’t like them or they don’t listen to you - don’t do it!
