Lifted but not happy - the left side is noticeably a lot higher

ORIGINAL POST

Lifted but Not Happy

Overall, my breasts are lifted than before no doubt! However, my left areola was placed to high. The start of my areola and nipple for both sides are uneven. The left side is noticeablely alot higher. Then the left side areola is not even in surface level. It's higher than the skin breasts itself. I did go back for my revision of the dog ears. Although better than before I still have them. I cant wear certain outfits because it lools strange with them. I don't like looking at my breasts. I wear them covered most the time. There was a noticeable difference in the lift of the breasts but I clearly look like I had surgey. I feel botched sometimes. Not happy that i cant feel confident looking at my breasts naked when that was the goal. Eventually will look for another doctor who can correct it.

Call a malpractice lawyer asap! I'm sorry this happened to you but know you are not alone there are hundreds maybe thousands of us that were botched by Gary Horndeski. Do your research there is a website..

Yes, the pictures and reviews I’ve seen from his work is not good, honestly this looks a lot better than 99% of the other girls I’ve seen he does. His method doesn’t work. There’s a reason there’s either a donut, lollipop or anchor incision . I wish that wasn’t the case and there was a better way and better technology but there’s not, so when doing a breast lift is best to pick one of the 3 traditional methods.

I was happy with my lift/reduction until I lost weight and then found out I had stage 2 breast cancer. I don’t blame the doctor for this happening, but my breasts looked amazing after my surgery in2015.

Only posting this because I really hate my results. I have another review that I just cant find up here. I thought the DR is sweet but does rush onto what he thinks is best for you. Upon getting out of surgery my left nipple areola was raised so much I had concerns that it would look wierd in the future. He assured it would go down. Im about 3 years post op and my left areola is still raised. My scars are dark as ever. One thing ladies he doesnt not provide post op care which into doing my research after SOO IMPORTANT as you dont want the actual scars. I'm left with these scars that I cant even wear sexy tops or bikinis because you'll see it. I ABSOLUTELY HATE LOOKING AT MY SELF NAKED ????. Not only did i waste my money but I hate my results. They only look good in clothes. I cant remember the last time I even felt comfortable having sex because they dont look good. Im not bashing the clinic but if you are young I was 24 and you're boobs are on the smaller side ( I was a 36 b just saggy) please go somewhere else. My self esteem is ruined at least outside of clothes. I wouldn't go back because he can't correct the problem. Already tried. Im so scared of suregy in general because i hate my boobs now. Now im looking for a different surgeon and its just draining.

Honey, no offense but your breasts are nearly perfect. I can tell from all the things I’ve seen and read that some women naturally have darker hypertrophic scars and that is not the surgeons fault. There are several things you can do to lighten the scars. Have you tried Embrace scar therapy? Your doctor said he can fix it so I would let him do it and use Embrace scar therapy starting at week 4 post op.

I wish I had your breasts, they look great! Focus on the positives and aim to improve the scars. I would recommend organic caster oil which will help to break up any scar tissue and greatly improve the appearance of your scars. You need to massage the caster oil in well. If after 3 months you’re still unhappy you could consider asking your PS to remove the scar tissue leaving you with a new scar. It’s essential you practice new scar tissue aftercare starting 3- 6 weeks after surgery (check with your surgeon) gently massage over scar every day for 3 months, I would recommend caster oil. This was my aftercare and 6 moths post op my scars are small fine silvery lines I can barely see them. Good luck and remember as human beings we are not created perfect. Trust me, you look beautiful with or without further revision.
