Worst Decision of my Life - Halifax, NS Canada

$8,000
I had my breast augmentation done Oct 23, 2012. I had moderate silicone gel implants 350cc in each breast they where put in with the incision under the breast and placed under the muscle. As you can see the result is horrible and my plastic surgeon will not do anything about it. He claims that this is a natural look and that some people have one breast "bigger" than the other. Pre op with the measurements he took this was not the case. I dont have any picture pre op but i can assure u i did not uneven. I hate the way I look and wish I never had the procedure done. I felt that I wasted $8000 on something that would make me feel more confident, which it did the total opposite. I am frustrated and very upset. I thought i did enough research on my PS who did this for over 20 years.
I not sure what to do now, If anyone can give me me advice of what to do i would be grateful
Thank you

He is a certified PS with over 20 years experience. I did my research and read reviews of people who had this done by him before. I got another appointment with him dec 14. Hopeful he will do something.

Wow...I am so sorry you have to go through this!! How can he look at you and tell you that it's a "natural look" He clearly sees it! I would be hounding him like crazy! There would be no way I would be paying for that revision. Best of luck and keep us updated.

the only advice i can give is along with others have posted keep pestering him. Bring in someone with you who can at least give you some support in this case. Unless his reasoning is that one dropped a little earlier than the other, which sometimes is the case. they are uneven in size and if he is a good PS he can obviuosly see that. I'm surprised in surgery he had not placed a different size implant to even out the breast as most of them would do. He should stand by his work at the least and make sure you tell him YOU ARE NOT HAPPY with the results. In a perfect world we would like a revision to be free but we all know we would end up paying for the anthesiologist fee again, but his fees should be comped at most. I'm sorry for you going thru what should be a great experience. Good luck

That is terrible. I agree with Kooberry, the shape is good but the are totally uneven. He is right in that no two breasts are perfectly symmetrical, but not totally different sizes. And those who are born with breasts that are markedly asymmetrical often opt to have that corrected, so it's not acceptable for him to just brush it off. I would keep on at him. I hope you are able to get it sorted.

If he is unwilling to fix this for free then I would threaten to turn him into the medical board and then the plastic surgery board. There is nothing that will make him act more quickly if he knows that his livelyhood is in jeopardy.

So after 3 visits from my last post my PS will not cover the costs of a revision. He will not return my phone calls. I cant believe I put myself through so much agony. Maybe this is what I deserve for being vain? I have not been intimate in over 3 months, I now have no relationship due to the depression that this surgery has put me through. I feel that I am at an extreme low point in my life. My family physican just keeps giving me more medication to mask how I really feel. I think about this constantly and this situation is effecting my school and work performace. I have tried so hard to remain postive about this situation but I feel I have let myself slip into a deep depression.

You do not deserve this. You opted to do something about your body that you weren't happy with. Unacceptable. I'm so sorry. If you have to have a revision, i would recommend you use your dollars and either go to Thailand or cone to South Africa, we have some of the best surgeons in the world.wishing you the best. X

Oh hun I'm so sorry!! I know how this feels, as I'm going thru something similar. Looks like one of your breasts has clearly bottomed out - and as others have stated, your doctor should cover a revision(whether u trust him to or not if your decision). The other side looks lovely tho& looks like they'd be even if it wasn't for the bottoming out!!
I agree u should go back to the doctor and insist that he take care of this - get a second opinion if possible and bring the report with you. Best of luck!! Xoxo
