Horrible Breast Implant Results
I’m a little confused about all the great ref reviews this Dr. Gipstein has received. I’m a 22-year-old female who had lost and gained weight. I wanted fuller breasts. . I first just wanted implants, but he insisted that I needed a breast lift. We did a lot of research and thought we’d found the right doctor. I actually waited until I was 20 because I wanted to be ready and wanted to do the research. Dr. Gipstein, set up most of the appointments via zoom. He seemed to be in a hurry, which should’ve been my first flag. When my mother and I got there for my appointment, they had not ordered the saline implants and only had silicone. They insisted that they would be better and that nobody got saline. Again another big flag that I chose to ignore because I was on school break and really wanted to get this done. We spoke to him repeatedly before I even got there about my nipples and having them the correct size and the correct placement. My mother asked if they had a table that would lift me up so they could see the way the breast implant was placed in my chest when erect and how it looked. He quickly dismissed her and was determined to use his old methods of measuring Now, I’m still having pain over Year after, my breast implants are too low And have been since the day he put them in. My nipples are way too high and point up to the sky. They stick out of my shirts, swim suits and bras to top it off. My scarring is awful. You can see where the sutures went in and out kind of a Frankenstein type of look. I could cry a million tears because I’m so frustrated and I’m going to have to have somebody else do it because I’m too scared to go back to him. I did this to make me feel better and more confident, and all it did was make me feel worse. I’m going to have to pay again to have this fixed. I’m heading back up to Midwest. Believe me when I say my breasts weren’t that bad and I would take them back over his surgery results. I think the most frustrating part is that he poo-pood every concern that I had and everything I was worried about is what happened. I have to have a pretty significant surgery to place the implants up higher in my chest. They are not bottomed out. They were placed too low to begin with not enough structure was put in place to hold them. There isn’t a lot they can do to move my nipple down because you can’t put skin on top of it. I would just have to take more skin from the bottom of my breast, Honestly there’s really nothing they can do for the scarring other than to literally cut my nipple off again and then sew it on in a more precise, polished professional way. And to top it all off, I’m going to have to be put to sleep again, miss work and pay again for my breast to be fixed and pay even more because it’s a reconstruction .
