Poor surgery technique, Dr. K. Grawe, Powell, Ohio

$8,000
I had a breast lift/aug. January 2015 done by Dr. Grawe.
Dr. Grawe is a lovely person and I'm only criticizing her surgery skills. I thought she understood that having my breasts lifted" was my priority. Unfortunately, for me, the lift and aug came out terrible. They were not lifted after surgery. The implant pockets she made were too large on both sides. The implants migrated out into my arm pits. I had severe malposition. She was supposed to make the aerola smaller, yet somehow they looked larger. I met with her to see what could be done. She sent Taylor in to hand me a $6000 bill to fix her mistakes. I had already paid her $8000. I have no respect for how she handled my situation. I can only hope that she has gotten more education on breasts lifts and augmentations since then. It's not fair what happened to me. She did not stand by her work and handled my situation poorly. I hope that she treats her patients better now and hopefully she has improved her technique. I guess I was her practice toy, at my expense. I did not pay her for a revision. I didn't have confidence in her, that she could resolve the issues she created. I have pictures up on my questions to doctors page.

Dr. Grawe is horrible!! She has no surgical skills whatsoever!! Turn her in to the medical board of Ohio

I honestly think your breast look good, they are nice and round and firm looking. You look like you would of had a better result from a full anchor lift vs just the lollipop lift, but I still think they look very nice. Your breast are naturally spread apart so having implants added is still going to make them go outward just more fuller.
But seriously....I think they look great, and your scars look like they are going to heal nicely.

Dr. Grawe, Powell, OH: Horrible Surgeon!

See my photos of Dr. Grawe’s work. You can judge for yourself if you like or dislike her work. She performed a lollipop lift and augmentation in January 2015 for $8000. I welcome comments and opinions of her work based on my photos. I asked her for help and she wanted me to pay her an additional $6000 for her surgical errors.

From what I've seen from her other negative reviews she always charges primary prices for her mistakes which is abhorrent. I'm sure an alternative skilled surgeon can give you the appropriate reduction and lift you wanted in the first place. Stay hopeful.

She is just terrible. I wonder if she gets a kick out of using us as her lab rats. You mentioned in my review another doctor fixed her mistakes so i bet you look gorgeous. Dr Grawe should not be performing anymore surgeries.

So sorry about your disappointment. My opinion: I’m not an M.D. but I’m wondering if you may have been better served with a full anchor lift. I’m also curious to know what size implants you went with. Unfortunately breast lift surgery does not change your skin type. And the fact that the skin cannot not bear the weight of the original breast often times the breast lift will not retain very well with the added weight of implants. Another thing to consider is you have a naturally wide cleavage; and implants often accentuate what you have... not change or fix it. Although your result is not ideal it is not atypical from what I’ve frequently seen on these treatment boards. Of course I’m not saying this to let your PS off the hook. I know my own PS guarantees patient satisfaction and does not charge for revisions as a matter of good customer service. At the very least most PS would only for anesthesia and operating room fees, which I believe should be much less than $6000. I hope you’re able to find some kind of resolution. Good luck and wish you the best.

I'm curious to know who your plastic surgeon is ... quite rare to find someone who guarantees patient satisfaction!
