Was Promised Beautiful Breasts but Got Something out if a Horror Show.

I pride I myself and being a good judge of character and upon meeting Dr. Sigalove I was very excited to start this process with him. After being diagnosed with breast cancer he promised to give me beautiful breasts and put me at ease.I had already known my treatment plan going into my surgery he promised me radiation would not be a problem. I even had a proton therapy which has less effects to your skin. Well at first everything seemed fine then it seemed one of my breast was getting infected. Which would normally not be a big deal. After sending me to a dermatologist and other doctors that told me my implant should come out but he left it in 3 more months.
Well I wish I would’ve listened to the other Dr’s because leaving in my implant that was infected for months became a huge deal in fact.Once things started going south his great character seem to change. I still remember that last visit I was breaking open by the sutures and he was recently told me he was leaving to start his new practice in Arizona. He literally handed me a bag of gauze and said to just change the bandage. I could not get a hold of him after that day. Two days later I ended up going to the emergency room, they said I got there right in time.I was hospitalized for over a week with a 5 inch open wound that would take six months to close. I had home health care along with the worst pain someone could imagine. I still can’t imagine a doctor leaving a patient in that state and just leaving not following up not finishing nothing. Just left. I am reading all these other great reviews and and you are all so lucky. I wish my implants were more of a priority during his move. Instead I am left with A horrible scar that hurts me every single day every time I look in the mirror and every time I lay in bed I can’t even lay on my left side thank you Dr. Sigalove you changed my life but not the way you promised..even the good implant is not what I would ever imagine..Still feeling hopeless in Chicago

That's horrifying. I'm so sorry that happened to you. I hope you are healing well now and you could find someone to reconstruct beautifully for you.

Thanks, It’s been a few years and am told it will take the best Surgeon to fix this and might possibly have to travel out of state, just so scared after all I went through here. It made me realize all Drs. are human and make mistakes.

Omg, I'm so sorry for you! May god give you strength to find a good doctor! My prayers are with you. Have you try Dr. Terry Dubrow, he does the botched show. He might be able to help!
