WORTH IT
Has anyone had butt implants with Dr. David Shifrin in Chicago, IL? I had a bad surgery once and had to have butt implants removed. I feel deformed, so insecure and sad! As time passes, i'm still healing, i feel the only way to correct this is to have this procedure again? Would like to know anyone's experience with this Dr.? I'd like to use the after care center they have also.

3 months of misery
Latina7506April 3, 2016
So I'm on 3 months of misery from my butt implant removal! I have a hole down there, yes, the implant came thru. So now i'm dealing w/open wounds down there, about 2 of them.! I am trying so hard to look forward but i get depressed over my current state and how much time has gone and waisted! My last resort, i'm hoping, is Dr. Shifrin. I have to wait another 3 wks. to see him and i'm dying!!! I just need to hear that this can be fixed! I feel useless.... Haven't been able to be a mother to my kids, nor a wife/partner to my husband. And just me be me.... I know i'm depressed over this. I'm actually gonna start to talk to a counselor. I know this isn't life threatening, but the emotional scar i have is taking over right now. I thought i was going to start this yr.off great and it has been the worst times! I'm too embarrassed to post any pics of how my butt looks. just think of skinny, saggy and prune like. I'm hoping for something positive to happen....anything!!!! I'm not comfortable w/my Dr. anymore, i'm full of anger but i have to keep seeing him for stitches i have. This just really sucks right now!!!!!!

Stay hopeful girl Dr Shifrin does a lot of revision surgeries so don't worry! His work is so clean I can't even tell where he reinfected the fat from my lipo. THINGS WILL GET BETTER! It just takes time <3

Thanks.....yeah, it was horrible and probably one of the worst things I've ever been thru. But thankfully I am much better now and healed! :0)
My first operation was in Chicago. I believe the Dr. put in too big of a size for my body. Not sure exactly what went wrong, the Dr. will never admit it.

Hi Ivette - i'm so sorry you are going thru this...... i completely understand everything you are feeling. Please feel free to message me if you want, I am hear to support and help out in any way!! I was the same way....i wouldn't let my husband see my body either :( it's a horrible feeling. I'm actually doing great. Little complaints here and there but compared to what i went thru....i'm wonderful! Message me...i would love to talk to you! I'm sure i can shed some light to your situation. :) XO
April 17, 2019
Thanks hun and yes it’s a big help just talking to you,my wound still open it’s bn over a month is very scary still I know I still have to wait to see another surgeon I’m looking to see if doctor Miami ppl said he’s really good the good thing is my husband is really supportive i guess is a waiting time

How are you doing Ivette? Remember that this open wound is going to take a bit longer because you are healing on your own from the inside to out. I actually went to an open wound specialist and it helped speed the process. I would look into that! And my insurance paid for it! Try to focus on other stuff and keep yourself as occupied with anything that will keep your mind off of this. This will pass so stay strong! And that's wonderful that your husband is really supportive....mine was too and it made all the difference in the world! <3

Nothing to do but wait!!!

Since my implants were removed I've been dealing w/an open wound since March. I started seeing an open wound specialist, even though my ps said "no, it's not necessary". I felt that he's not doing much about this open wound but letting it heal on it's own. I went with my gut and seen my family dr. and she recommended I do see an open wound specialist. I've only seen them 2 x's but already feel so much better knowing that this is their specialty area and they are doing something to promote healing. I"ve got about another 4-6 weeks but at least now i feel and know i'm on my way to recovery! Don't always believe what your ps says, do your own research, which is what i did and why i asked him about an open wound specialist. Take Care ladies!!!

You should see Dr. Shifrin he is amazing and see what he says about putting new ones in. Talk with Blanca about it she is simply amazing with questions regarding that.
April 24, 2016
I am! :) My consultation is May 20th, I can't wait! Thanks, I'll def ask Blanca. I have many questions that I'm confident they will answer.

But you had issues after implants out?! Mine are still in I'm so confused
October 17, 2017
Hey - i know there's a lot to read but here's a quick summary. I had implants, 1 implant shifted and actually came out of my skin from the bottom so i had them taken out. That is where i was telling you about the open wound. 6 months later i did the implants again but smaller this time and i've had no issues since. I did go to a different Dr. the second time around. Does this all make sense?
October 17, 2017
Yes girl ! It does wow so implant was actually out of your incision?! I see you had the one line incision I had 2 lines so twice the trouble! I'm just curious how many times dis you see the same dr when having issues? Like I get so scared to see anyone else since they know my background! But you have found relief which I need I'm so happy for you reaching out! Also how long till u put more implants in and from what size to what? Sorry havent been on to read everything but want to
October 18, 2017
I only had a 1 line incision in my upper crack area. The implant actually came out of the bottom, inner part of my butt cheek!!! Along with that, my actual incision was completely open too!
I continued to see my ps about a month and a half after removal because he was still trying to fix his mess! But after i seen no improvement, i started googling about what happened to me and asked him about an ow specialist and he said it's not necessary. i was not comfortable with his answer and seen my family dr. and she said absolutely i need to see them! After a few treatments with the ow specialist and then i still had to go to my ps, he seen my improvement and starting treating my wound like they were. But by then, i was on my last appt. with him and stopped going to him, continued w/the ow specialist and started looking for a new Dr. to eventually fix my deformity, a reconstructive surgeon with knowledge of this type of surgery. It was 6 months later that i did my 2nd surgery. I went from 548cc with 350cc fat on each to 400cc with 100cc of fat on each. I know i could of used more fat on each cheek but i didn't have that much. It does bother me a bit because i can see the outline but like i've said before, I am grateful to be healed with no issues.

You can click through to his profile page and read reviews about him (and look for butt implant reviews). Let us know what you find out as far as a redo, or if you decide to try something else like a BBL.
I would recommend scheduling some consultations and see what plastic surgeons think. You can ask in our Doctor Q&A too to get a general idea of what options you have (include pics if you can, they really help).
Thank you!!
It's been almost a year the only thing I regret is going a bit bigger.
His staff is awesome and the girl at the front desk had them done by him. She is so helpful and very nice. She will answer all your questions. Hands down he is the best.
Hopefully I'll have a date soon!! :0)
