Horrible pain and shape - needed 3 surgeries to fix it

ORIGINAL POST

I Had a Horrible Experience

Adventurous342278
I had a double mastectomy and reconstruction. From the start it was horrible , the drains were pulled to early so I had to go in almost every day to have a needle put in and pull the flood. Then the reconstruction was a nightmare. He didn't leave enough skin for the implants. They didn't fall because they were to tight. I had horrible pain. They were also square and the shape was horrible. He has horrible bedside manner. When i ask him about the issues I was told . YOU HAD CANCER AND A DOUBLE MASTECTOMY WHAT DID I EXPECT. I couldn't stop crying. I never went back and was not even called to ask why. My husband ask after the long first surgery how I was and did they get it all and he stated that wasn't his part but he would be a happy man in about 5 months. I ended up having to go to Dallas to a plastic surgeon and I have had 5 total surgeries. Three to fix what he messed up. The first surgery was 14 hours long. The only way to fix it was to do a deip flap reconstruction. He has no compaction and botched my surgery. I do not recommend him at all.
