If They Miss a Pre-op, You Know.....

$25,000

Pilates is my jam, I wanted to lift my breasts and stop the nipple slippage. Hvistendal said I did not have enough volume and would need a little 100 cc's or fat transfer. I opted out of the fat transfer due to not wanting more than open procedure. The 'doc' missed my pre-op #1 due to his being in surgery. His assistant Kelly scheduled a phone pre-op, her incompetence added the appt. for PM (11:45 PM) instead of AM. I ended up calling myself---Hvistendal was "just bring me photos". Um.. I am not comparing my breast lift to another woman's breast - and find it hard to do this.

3/3/2026 - I come out of surgery with humongous honkers. Not fit for pilates or back pain prevention. I thought i was just swollen-----nope dude decided to place 235 CCs in each breast without permission. Totally violating me. Post op was a mess. the seams ripped on the right breast, the left nipple was bleeding and black. There was bruising from top of my head to my hips. It took and outside surgeon, wound care and Kaiser Permanente, 2 more surgeries in the last 3 weeks, a weeks hospital stay, 2 ER visits to remove the infected implants and save my right breast.

Plastic Surgery Specialists comments during my post op:

'Put a band aide on it" " buy some nice bras" 'your cleavage looks great now" (I really was not asking for cleavage). The doctors who fixed me told me: "This was beyond you" "The implants were not you and not doing you justice"

PSSpecialists - called the cops on me and erroneously reported I was threatening his assistant (lies), told yelp to remove my review (so i will post it all here for you lovely ladies. I hope no other woman has to go through this experience.
