Augmentation (And Revisions) After Childbirth and Weight Loss - Very Unrewarding Experience

ORIGINAL POST

I was very deflated after childbirth and weight...

$12,500

I was very deflated after childbirth and weight loss I thought that this would help me fill a bra out agian. I got way more than i bargined for.

I gave my PS 3 shots and in the end I am still left with the same issues he tried to fix the last 2 surgeries. His staff got real unprofessional after my last surgery. No empathy for me or my complications.

I started out a saggy 34C cup with no volume. My first surgery was supposed to be a a lift and augment but my PS decided in the OR that I did not need one?? Since than I have bottomed out..

I had revision to fix that and it did not hold.. I followed his plan to reduce my size of my implants and go for a full anchor lift. Whatg i got was worse i was nt lifted I am actually more saggier now than i was before my first surgey. I bottomed out agian and have double bubble.

My PS has offered me nothing he said he did the best that any surgeon could do... So I am out 12,500 and I feel awful naked..

Hi anonymous,

I'm so sorry you've had to deal with going through so much and still ending up unhappy with your results!

After looking at your photos, I definitely do NOT think your surgeon did the best any surgeon could do. I've looked at thousands of before and after photos of breast lift and augmentation and know what kind of results are possible with the right surgeon. I think you are totally justified being unhappy with your results.

It probably sounds daunting now because you've already spent so much money on surgery, but I would get second and third opinions from other surgeons.

I'm not sure where you're located, but there are hundreds of board certified plastic surgeons practicing all over the US here: http://www.realself.com/find

Hang in there, and good luck :)

Thank you and i agree my results are sub par at best.. I am in NJ and I plan on going out of state to someone who does alot of revsions. I did go to baord certified surgeon it means noting if his skills are not as great as the next guys..

I don't understand-you have the scars from a lift but no lift? Mine was done 19 years ago but I had nice perky breast. I just don't get how you can have those scars without actually getting a breast lift? Why does he say they sag? What possible explanation does he come up with?

My PS said that 20 inches from collar bone to nipple is acceptable not when i measured that before implants... I got a bum deal!!

girl i really feel bad for you after spending hard earned cash to do something to boost your self esteem and ending up been so unhappy and on top of that to be insulted by his staff its terrible, Try and get other consults and see where you go from there. I have been down the same road by my PS and now in the process of getting fixed by another PS so i know how you feel, you have great surgeons in mahattan not far from NJ so do somehome work. All the best and let me hear yor results

Thanks ... I really hate the thought of another surgery and I am scared to trust another PS... but I hate how I look it is unacceptable to be left like that it is not an improvement at all... Sorry to hear you have been down this road too.. I have so much empathy for you!!

Although time has passed and emotional pain has lessened. I think it is now time to consider a explant. I have been researching it and I know I will not look "great" physically afterwards but I think the burden of having the implants will lessen after I explant. Gosh what an ordeal and probably the worst self inflicted experience I have gone through. I really hope anyone getting breast augmention consider the long term effects of what if things don't go as planned.

Everything can be fixed, find the right PS to the job, you can still be happy with the results and enjoy the way you look . Good luck

Hi, i'm sorry you wen't through all of this. I know you will eventually find a PS capable of helping you. If this helps you, I think you don't look half as bad as you think you do. I recommend silicon bands for the scars, when they look better i think you look a lot better too.
