I Wish Things Were Different

It really saddens me to have to leave a negative review on a surgeon, after all trusting someone with your life how could you have anything bad to say right? Well in 2018 after researching surgeons I chose Dr. Boll to perform my second breast reduction. Don't get me wrong Dr. Boll was always nice, straight forward and gave me a good feeling so Jan 2019 we started the year off with surgery, However post op and fully healed, I'm left feeling regret in my decision. To begin, I am very well aware that surgery is not a magic pill and I know that the body does what it will, however overall my results could have been much better.

After providing Dr. with my previous surgical notes, she told me that she would be able to still perform my procedure and get me down to or as close to my desired breast size. Which was not at all the case. After surgery fully healed and a 16 lb weight loss, my breast aren't much different than pre op. I was also advised that i would not receive draining tubes which I was extremely leery about and did make mention to Dr. Boll. She insisted that i would not need them. Post op initially i was happy just because i made it out safe but dr. Boll knew that I was not fully satisfied. Which she explained that because of my initial surgery she wasn't able to take as much out, which had i known that i would've, could've made other arrangements!

A week post op my breast were leaking fluid which i was told was normal....knowing that it was not! that didn't set well with me but the staff always made me feel as if i was over reacting. Now two weeks and several calls later to the office and being told it was normal and it was just air! my breast were engorged with fluid! You can hear the fluid, sounding similar to a water balloon or shaking a water bottle with every move i made, not to mention i was leaking fluid everywhere! Soaking through bandages and shirts!

Office finally took me serious and scheduled me to go to banner health to get aspirated almost 3 weeks after surgery!!! I get to banner where they aspirate my left breast but refused to do the other because Dr. Bolls staff only put one on the order!! I then had to BEG the girls to aspirate the other because aside from the discomfort i was TERRIFIED while i had to wait another week and a half for an appointment with banner. The girls aspirate my other breast since it was a Another week before banner was able to place tubes! They collected enough fluid to fill a measuring cup! Yea after telling me it was just air and normal, tried to be nice about it after they aspirated enough fluid to boil pasta.

Meantime due to my breast being engorged, my skin was extremely sensitive and thin, i was bursting at the seams. Gaping holes in my breast where the incisions were opening so now I'm left with the ugliest scars like i was a burn victim. the only scar treatment i was offered of course came at a cost! Smh To make matters worse i had to pay Banner health $150 for the visit with them.... my outpatient deductible for the surgery itself wasn't even $150 so now I'm paying MORE Out of pocket for some

Thing that's not my fault. I paid the money because i wanted to be done with it. Dr. Bolls office never offered to reimburse me at all. Fast forward to 2020, i get a credit alert that I've been sent to collections for $150! Because apparently and unbeknownst to me BAnner expected me to pay both times that i was seen even tho the only reason i had to have a second appointment was because the girls at Dr. bolls office only put one breast on the order!! I had accepted my results and put the experience behind me but this just reactivated my emotions and since i know there isn't anything else i could do, leaving this review was just a way for me to release.
