About a year ago I was hopeful because I thought I found a better surgeon that could somewhat help my fix my breasts. I expected at least a bit of a good change. My first surgery with Michael Brucker, MD was just a full breast lift, no implants. It felt great at first but once I healed I noticed my nipples looked extremely high and I had NO upper pool whatsoever. My breasts look flat/ squarish. I went to see Michael Brucker for a second time and he suggested implants would help this.
So I had a second surgery about 1 year later adding 425CC round silicone implants. Months after I healed I notice things looked even worse. My nipples were even more noticeably higher. And the large implants bottomed out. My breasts were flat on the top and looked like a bubble on the bottom. For the third time I went back to Michael Brucker and he was kind enough to let me know that he would help me fix this since I paid twice already- he gave me a good discount and I thought that was very generous of him. But once I arrived to my surgery day he completely forgot what he me over the phone consult (I’m an out of town patient.) We had agreed that he would fix MY HIGH NIPPLES which was concerning me the most they had been high even without the implants. He said he would take off some skin in the bottom incision which would help them pull down. He told me he would also replace my implants with smaller ones bc that could possibly help them not look so high as well. We even agreed on new size over the phone.
The day I came into surgery he seemed to be in a rush. He asks me, so what are we doing? And I told him what we agreed upon and he looked confused. He told me he never said he add smaller implants and looked upset about having to switch them out. And he said he never agreed to do a nipple surgery that he thought he was just fixing the implant that bottomed out. He said that since the implants were falling low that making new stitches to hold them up would help the over all appearance. I even asked the nurse before they put me down if she could please tell him if he could fix my nipples to be lower bc that concerned me more than anything.
Sadly I woke up and he had just added smaller 300 CC implants with new stitches to hold them up. It didn’t make sense to me because since they bottomed out badly adding a few stitches just sounded like it could possibly happen again. Depressingly it did. I feel bad going through 3 surgeries which kept me away from home that didn’t at least fix my nipple placement. I’m too sad to say anything about it to him especially because he was kind to me at times and then other times he didn’t seem attentive to my situation. I’m not sure if he was just very busy at the time of my surgery or if he just didn’t care. I wish I knew. I have days where I do get depressed bc thinking about it makes me anxious. I wish he had more time for me. But I just do my best not to look at them in the mirror. I feel bad for writing this but I needed to see if anyone else is going through this and what I could do to get help.
