Extremely Disappointed
I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel it’s important to share my experience for anyone considering this surgeon—especially if you have a more complex or congenital breast condition.
I underwent breast augmentation with a known congenital breast abnormality (tuberous breast deformity), which requires specific surgical techniques beyond a standard augmentation. Unfortunately, this was not appropriately addressed in my case. I was reassured that certain deformities—particularly the areolar herniation—would “self-correct” within six months. That has not happened.
At a follow-up appointment, instead of acknowledging the underlying structural issue, I was told that fat grafting alone could help correct the deformity. From my understanding and subsequent research, fat grafting does not address the root anatomical problems associated with this condition, which left me feeling dismissed and concerned about the overall surgical plan.
As it stands, the areolar herniation was not corrected, and I am left feeling more deformed than I was prior to surgery. This has been both physically and emotionally distressing.
Additionally, continuity of care has been frustrating. The last two follow-up appointments I scheduled were canceled because the surgeon called out sick, which made it difficult to address my concerns in a timely and consistent manner.
I strongly encourage anyone with a congenital breast condition to seek a surgeon who has clearly demonstrated experience with complex breast reconstruction techniques, not just standard augmentation. I wish I had done more due diligence in this area prior to moving forward.
