BELLOSOMA + IMPLANTS
Don’t walk… but RUN AWAY from this doctor!!! 3 years ago I received a bellesoma breast lift and augmentation that (literally) ruined my life. I’m 22 years old and I’ve had 3 revisions after my surgery with Dr. Brown, two of which were performed by Dr. Dubrow’s “botched.”
Dr. Brown left me botched. In our consultation I told him I wanted a breast lift + augmentation. I had lost a lot of weight resulting in sagging breasts (prior to my surgery with him). I wanted to have lots of perky upper pole volume which would be achieved by a high profile implant. Dr. Brown said I couldn’t get the results I wanted by a regular breast lift because my tissue was too weak and I would have to get them every 5-10 years.
Dr. Brown convinced me to get a bellesoma breast lift and do a second surgery 6 months later to put implants in. I really did not like the look and scars of the bellesoma but preferred the scars to the vertical lift…
3 months after my augmentation, I find out that I was Dr. browns first patient he has ever put implants in after a bellesoma!!
Side note: The bellesoma + lift is 25k compared to breast lift + Aug is 15k.
Around this time I also noticed my implants were starting to bottom out. When I called, they said it was due to my skin laxity and my weak tissue and in order to fix the problem I’d have to spend another 12k for operating room fees and anesthesia….
At this point, knowing that I was Dr. browns first patient he had put implants in after a bellosama (after the fact!!) I felt like I couldn’t trust him. And the fact he would even try to make me pay to fix the problem made me livid.
I was left with large scars, a double bubble, and horrible bottoming out.
