Horrible Results, Tuberous Breasts, PS Obviously Had No Clue What He Was Doing. Revision Soon - Cary, NC

I, at the time, was a young mother. I was 21 years old, and I desperately wanted a BA. My mother knew a plastic surgeon (she was in the health field at the time), and she recommended I saw him. I mentioned at the consult that I had tuberous breasts, however; I knew they were not as severe as most. On the other hand, I had heard from others that slight/mild tuberous breasts can be the most challenging, because surgeons often think they can 'get by' with just an augmentation.

I guess that is what Dr. Hanna in Cary, NC figured he could do. I had the BA, 625CCs, saline, Mentor, smooth, moderate profile, unders on 10/02/2008. I noticed within days that I had a small crease/indent. At my first checkup I asked him about that, plus the 'pointy' shape. He stated that I needed to drop and I would not have that within 6 months. I wore my bra 24/7 (as instructed), I massaged, I did not exercise, and I did everything as instructed during recovery...

6 month check up, my breasts were ruined...seriously. I have a double bubble, I have bottomed out, I have severe lateral displacement, and muscle flexion deformity. I asked him about a revision at my final check-up, because he wanted me to wait the full year before discussing revision. He stated the "most" he could do is tighten the skin underneath the breast, as in fold it in, but said that I would likely not be happy with the breasts because my nipples would be pointed down and almost at the bottom of my breast. He quoted me nearly $3,000. Obviously, this is a surgeon's error, and if he did not feel he had the skill as a PS to correct and implant on a patient with mild tuberous breasts, he should have declined to perform the surgery at all. Instead, I am nearly $5,000 in the hole, and now I am searching for a plastic surgeon that can either a) "fix" my breasts where I can at least stand to look at them or b) explant and do something to make them look as normal as possible.

The implants are obviously too large for my frame, as well. He recommended larger implants, and they are constantly sore, and I cannot go without some type of bra for long before my breasts, ribs, and upper back ache. I have incredible stretch marks, especially on the bottom of my breasts. My breasts are ALWAYS in my armpit. I've been married for almost two years, and my husband has yet to see my breasts. Seriously. You'll see why when you look at the pictures.

I truly hope that I can find a PS that can perform a revision, however; I would be almost as happy just to get these implants OUT of my chest. You can literally see my 'old'/actual breasts over my plants. You can feel gurgling, air pockets, popping and the implant when touching my breasts.

Do NOT see Dr. Hanna. Please do not. I trusted him because my mother knew him and his staff personally, as he had an office in the same medical complex as she does. I also trusted him because of his years of experience and good reviews online. Finally, he is board certified and has been a plastic surgeon for 35 years. However, I can finally afford to correct his mistakes, and I hope these pictures - and my story, will help another person make the right decision and stay AWAY from him.
