Mastectomy: 4 surgeries and I am still left with uneven breasts.

I had a mastectomy in 2018. My insurance company referred Dr, Robert Reiffle, While Plains hospital. right after surgery the skin on the right breast was turning black. I went in every few days for 2 weeks. when the breast skin was melting off, Dr. Reiffle left and went on vacation for 5 days. He told me to take a photo every day and change the dressing. I find it hard to believe that he just left. By the time he got back, I could see the mesh & the implant under the skin. I had to have emergency surgery the day he arrived back in town. The fact that I did not get an infection is a miracle.

Please please do your homework before picking a surgeon. I was 52 when I had some neck sagging. Thousands of dollars later, 2 surgeries, missed work, and lots of tears. This is the neck Dr. Reiffle of White Plains Hospital gave to me. He left big scares on the sides of my ears and behind the ears the skin is all pinched up. Thankfully I found a surgeon who can fix the damage. He Said Dr. Reiffle just tried to lift the skin. Almost daily I kick myself forever picking this Dr.
