Worst Mistake of my Life!

Breast implant/tummy tuck surgery 2 years ago with Dr. Lam was one of the worst mistakes I’ve ever made in my life. I not only look bad but I’ve developed serious health problems as a result of it.
First of all, regarding breast implants: I told Dr. Lam upfront that I was not seeking larger breasts--I instead wanted my breasts to be younger-looking and perkier to re-capture my thin youthful figure (figure size D cups). I told him emphatically, “I do NOT like and do NOT WANT the big-busted look.” He assured me “You’ll be happy with the results.” I trusted him. But to my horror, my post-surgery bra size turned out to be 38 G (38 DDDD). G/DDDD bras are HUGE! And UGLY, too!—IF you can find bras that size at all! Now I look fat and top-heavy and have trouble finding clothes that fit. Dr. Lam gave me exactly what I told him I did NOT want—big breasts! How could he do that! Now I have to consider having the implants removed.
But the worst harm resulted from the tummy tuck. It not only looks bad, with a large flab of skin hanging over the incision (visible through a bathing suit) but it left me with constant debilitating back pain, pain under my ribs, and shortness of breath (s. o. b.). I feel as if my diaphragm is restricted. The pain and s. o. b. are so severe that I cannot even walk 40 feet without stopping to rest. I’ve NEVER had endurance problems like this before! Not even when my leg was badly crushed in a car accident)!—my husband has to hold my waist to keep me upright while walking and for the first time in my life I have to use a cane—like a feeble old lady! The tummy tuck left me unable to walk my dogs, unable to pick up my grandchildren, and unable to do even moderate daily activities. I’ve NEVER had health problems as debilitating as this before, and they’ve gone on for 2 years now. I cry at night because I fear I will never again be the healthy, active person I was just a mere 2 years ago prior to the surgery.
Dr. Lam tried to blame my severe pain and shortness of breath on the very-mild scoliosis I had as a young adult (so mild it was never even diagnosed by a doctor), but that’s not true—I never had severe back pain or S.O.B. until following Dr. Lam’s surgery and the pain and S. O. B have been with me every single day since. And to think I paid $13,000 to have this anguish and pain brought into my life!
I would do anything to turn back the clock and un-do the damage from this surgery. It has destroyed the quality of my life. I do not recommend Dr. Lam as a surgeon.

Someone asked me what size implants Dr. Lam gave me. I called his office and found out.
They are 575 cc bilaterally. That sounds big to me compared to the sizes that other women posted here on RealSelf got--and I did tell him that I only wanted modest implants, that my goal was to have younger-looking, lifted breasts--not larger breasts. I've been tall and thin most of my life and wanted to stay that way.
I was 5' 9 1/2" in my younger years, then shrunk to 5' 8 1/2 in. 3 years ago--and now post-surgery my spine is more curved than it used to be (scoliosis) and I last measured 5' 6" tall! I know the tummy tuck surgery caused my back pain and sudden-onset shortening because I have photos and xrays that show my spine was straighter pre-surgery than it is now.
Does 575 cc bilaterally sound large to the rest of you? Dr. Lam never discussed sizes or shapes with me so I'm totally in the dark.

Here's a photo of a tour friend helping me walk around China (notice the panda in the background if you wish). That means that other people on the tour realized I was having problems walking without becoming short of breath even though I was trying to hide my problems from the other tour people.
