I Feel Mutilated and Botched. Please Do Your Research

My experience was 3 years ago, and it has taken me until now to write this review because I am so traumatized by how I currently look. It is only because I have found a wonderful, caring surgeon to correct Dr. Krau's work that I feel finally ready to share my experience. I fully understand there are glowing reviews about Dr. Krau, which is why I went to him in the first place, but that was not how my experience went.
From my understanding, there are various ways to se Dr. Krau, and I chose to deal directly with his private office. (I know a lot of other girls would see him through CG Cosmetics). If you deal with him directly, it is more expensive.. but what I can say is that the experience was no more caring or tailored, so I am not sure why that is the case. I really blame myself for not noticing red flags, like how much time was spent with me before my procedure. I was living in MD so I actually had to fly down for my procedure (and also fly down have emergency exploratory follow up surgery with him because I contracted an infection.) Flying and being in Miami was not an issue for me because I thought he was the best, I would have flown down for multiple consultations if I had to. I started by sending photographs to the office, which they reviewed. My breasts were NOT that bad before. Not compared to what some other girls suffer. They then told me Dr. Krau advised a breast lift with implants, and told me how much it would cost. They did not deem it necessary to do an in-person consultation, or even a skype consult so he could talk to me. My first actual consultation and meeting with Dr. Krau in person was the day before my surgery. At his office there is a hallway with a few rooms- every door had a chart and I heard him making his way down the hall knocking (there was a different girl in every room.) I felt really uncomfortable with this, like we were cattle being moved around. It was just very impersonal. I was only with him 5 minutes. He examined me, advised implant size and placement, and that was it. I really had no care for what implant size he chose. I am tall (5"10) with broad shoulders, so when he advised 800cc because it would be appropriate for my frame I wasn't concerned. At this stage, because I had flown to Miami and was just set on having him do it, I just dealt with his terrible bedside manner because I wanted the best. This was my biggest regret.
My surgery was the next day, and everything seemed to go fine. When I woke up from anesthesia, it was only about 20 minutes until I actually left the practice. I barely had any in-practice recovery time. I recovered at a local recovery center for about 2 days and then flew home. After arriving home, about a day later, I noticed severe swelling in my left breast. I kept texting the nurse from the practice, Nora, and she would take forever to respond to me. She was completely unconcerned; she just kept telling me to keep the area clean and that it was normal. The swelling continued, along with terrible pain, and then I started getting a fever. She told me not to worry about the fever until it reached 103. (What??) By the time my fever reached 103, I was in so much pain I could barely move. I had to fly back to Miami, and when I got to the practice I was begging them to knock me out because the pain was so bad. Dr. Krau opened me up, removed all the fluid and sent it to a lab, and it came back that I had a staph infection inside my breast. Dr. Krau did not remove my implant, which I have since been told is standard procedure when there is an infection inside the breast with a new implant. Luckily, the infection cleared up, but if I had to do it over I would have insisted to have both implants removed. It is terrible that they left the implant in there with an infection and can lead to SEVERE complications, including losing your breast! I received ZERO follow up care after leaving them this second time. I never got a text, email or phone call asking how I was recovering from the infection. It's like they couldn't be bothered to deal with me, even though I was flying to come see them. I thank god that it managed to clear up, because it could have gotten really bad. I have seen girls who lose their breast skin and worse.
Infection drama aside, my incisions are extremely crude. I have remaining nipple skin outside of my defined nipple area, which looks horrible. My right breast has bottomed out. I also have what feels like a heard surgical knot right under the surface skin of where my t-incision meets. My breasts just look bad. I am posting this as warning, that not all breast lifts come out perfect, and this is the reality of exactly what I received from Dr. Krau. You can see that my right breast looks significantly larger than my left and has bottomed out. The scars look terrible. I was prepared for scars; but I tend to heal well (and scars turn white and flat for me) so to see them looking so thick combined with nipple skin remaining outside of the 'lines' is depressing for me. My fold incision is sitting on my breast- I have not taken my top off in front of a man since I had this done. I truly feel like Dr. Krau really didn't give a crap about me throughout the entire experience. I am blessed that I have found a surgeon who does, and I look forward to trying to correct this.
