Truly Disappointed on So Many Levels - Columbus, OH

At first I thought this guy and his nurse bobby walked on water. But I have since changed my mind. My experience had so many levels of disappointment I just can't list them all right now. But I will give you one example and that is this: I asked for a breast lift and aug (to be fuller). I said I didn't want to be any bigger that a full C. They brought me ONE implant and insisted that was the size I needed to get the look I want. Bobby Assured me they would be between a full C and small D and where they would sit on my chest exactly how I wanted them. They also promised that my right breast would have some tissue removed in order to finally have symmetry. Well folks guess what size I am? Not only am I a size DDD, he didn't take out tissue from the right breast at all. So one is still bigger than the other and I have a horrible time trying to find bras. It protrudes from my bra all the time and it pushes
My shirts over to the left side. I look so FAT. Not saying I'm a thin person, I'm a thick girl but now the boobs make me look 50lbs heavier. He also assured me during recovery that I didn't need to bind my breast so they wouldn't move while they healed. And I trusted him. Only to end up with horrible scars all around my areoles caused from what I believe to be from just the sheer weight of these ginormous melons. I look like I need a breast reduction. When I said something to the nurse,bobby, about 1 still being bigger than the other she said " yeah but most women have one breast bigger than the other" really? That's your response ? And when I told dr.D. how unhappy I was and how I felt that I still needed a breast lift becuz they are so huge and look nothing like I asked for or was told they would look like. He said to me," I've never had any other complaints from my any of my other patients and most women use bras to lift their breasts". Really? He also said " well, compared to what you looked like before, I think u look pretty good". It broke my heart. And it's been almost 2 years since my surgery and I only have maybe 10% sensation in my nipples. At this point, I think it's safe to say the nerve damage is permanent. My nipples barely get erect. It's horrible. And I have to live with this everyday. I even went to get another dr.s opinion to see if my expectations were too high and he didn't even want to know the name of the surgeon That did this to me because he was so disgusted. After 2 years I still am upset and feel wronged. And dr.D won't take responsibility to fix them without me having to pay for the surgical center and anesthesia and new implants which were 800$ Each!. Keep in mind, the first hour of both a surgical center and anesthesia are much higher than the additional hours AND he was "done" with an hour to spare. Plenty of time to have done a more thorough job. He didn't even apologize. And like I said before that's just one of many disappointments I've experienced from my entire surgery and the outcome and just overall experience. I have 3 more years on the loan I took for this. Thinking how great this would be, I hardly have another 3000-5000$ to shell out so he can fix his mistakes and even if I did, how could I trust him again? Would you? So, If you need reconstruction on your breasts, ( and i consider a breast lift to be reconstruction) I would not recommend dr.D. (Or his nurse, bobby) I will eventually share all of my story but this is all I can stomach for tonight. And it pains me to share my experience and give him a bad review because I really liked and trusted the guy. I am truly saddened over it all. But if there had been any kind of negative review on dr.D before my surgery, I could have avoided all of this as I would have gone to a more experienced surgeon. And that is why I'm sharing.

I am so sorry that you did not get what you asked for, that he's taking no responsibility, and not wanting to make it right with you. It's undathomable, to tell you " no one else has complained!" hoping someday you can go to another doctor who will listen to you!

Feel for you. I'd get legal advise. You must have in writing all that you discussed at consultation??!!
They are accountable for their mistakes. Be thinking of you x

Hi Fudgette, :) no i haven't sought out legal advice, i guess i never thought i would have a leg to stand on.. even tho they forgot to have me sign the papers/contract until after my surgery(its true) but i still signed them because at the time i had no idea of the results.... i know, stupid..... :( thank you for your encouragement and kindness.. xo!

I went to him for a consultation and experienced the same things you did with the giant sized implant, and bobby saying they would be right where I wanted them. He was so quick and I really didn't feel heard by him. Bobby is very pushy. It was as if they were saying, " we know what is best for you, so what you are saying doesn't matter." To top it off, he was by far the most expensive guy we got a quote from. Needless to say, we are going with someone else (Dr. Jason Lichten) for my mommy makeover.

You are so welcome. I have actually had your ssituation on my mind and been feeling so bad. This whole surgery thing is such a big deal and we are so excited when we make the decision to do it...and then this happens! I don't think your review was harsh and you shouldn't feel bad about posting it. You weren't mean...you were real about what is happening. You have helped others by posting it. :)
