I flew from Canada to have my BA done in Miami,...

$5,100
I flew from Canada to have my BA done in Miami, the actual procedure was $3600 (just over $5000 Canadian not including the cost of flights/hotels/etc)
Everything leading up to my surgery was great, friendly staff, quick replies, very helpful and answered most of my questions. But during my pre-op my surgeon was not there for me to try on sizes so the staff said I could try on sizes before surgery with my surgeon and I was okay with that because I was pretty sure I would know what size I wanted the second I tried it on.
Day of surgery I was at the clinic an hour and a half early (they called me asking if I was coming in early because the girl before me never showed up for surgery or they messed up the surgery times I'm not really sure), I told the girls at the front desk I was there for my BA but still needed to try on sizes. They didn't say anything then a nurse came and directed me into a room where I took a pregnancy test and she told me to put on a gown, I told her I still needed to try on sizes. Then the anesthesiologist came in which I again said I still needed to try on sizes, but she had already started hooking me up with needles. Dr loessin came in, introduced himself, looked at me for two seconds, asked what size I wanted (I knew I wanted to be bigger than a C but I've never tried on sizes so I had no idea what that would look like on me, I've only ever been an A/B cup and I only wear a bra when I go out dancing which isn't often), he said okay 400cc then left the room.
Two seconds later I was on a table being operated on. My boyfriend was with me and would have tried to stop what was happening had he known but he assumed when I left the room it was to try on sizes then go into surgery. I didn't even know the style of implant I had until my follow up appointment the next day, I was also told before I flew to Miami that they used gummy bear sientra implants (so I was under the impression that those were the type of implant I would be getting).
I was devastated seeing how small they are on me (I'm a tall/built girl 5'9" 180lbs with broad shoulders). I was excited to finally have larger breasts but the entire day of surgery I was worried because I hadn't tried on sizes, and all I even had a chance to say in regards to what I wanted was "I want to be bigger than a C". I told the staff numerous times that I needed to try on sizes, even when I woke up from surgery all I could think was this was a huge mistake why didn't I get to try on sizers or discuss implant style.
I was upset even more so during my post-op appointment because when I got there the surgeon (a different one than the one that performed my BA - which wasn't a huge issue) told me that I had High Profile natrelle inspira implants (when booking I was told they used gummy bear sientra implants). At this point it was already too late, the surgery was already done so I've tried to be excited and happy about my new breasts but the more the swelling went down and the more they dropped the more I have been unhappy with them.
When I tried reaching out to CG Cosmetic Surgery about my concerns my surgical coordinator ignored my messages, when someone from the clinic did get back to me they told me to get in contact with their claims department (which I did, they did not answer my question as to why I didn't get to try on sizers before surgery. They informed me that I would have to pay full price again if I was unhappy with my results and wait 6 months before booking a revision).
I sent in pictures a few weeks later with concerns that my left implant is much fuller on the bottom of my breast in comparison to the right/the implant is much lower than the incision. In addition to this my left incision has become infected (5.5weeks post op and it has a yellowish discharge and bleeding). I called another PS office for guidance - they couldn't fit me in to see them on such short notice so I had to go to the emergency room (I had a high fever and vomiting), currently taking antibiotics in hopes that it will kill the infection
I flew to Miami from Alberta, Canada, the costs of surgery, flights, and rooms was over $7000 and I am devastated with how it turned out. I was going to try to lose more weight in hopes that my breast will appear larger with weight loss (I'd already lost 50+ pounds prior to surgery though, that's why I booked it, my breasts went down to an A cup when I lost the lbs). Now I just pray that the infection goes away and I don't have to book anymore surgery.
Originally when size/shape/style was my concern any other surgeons that I had talked to said that I would have to wait 6-12 months to re-book surgery, several other PS I have spoke with also mentioned that my implants appear to be very far apart. I cried almost every day the first few weeks post op over how this all went, it was like once my surgery was paid for they didn't care about me or what I wanted. I really hope this doesn't happen to anyone else because it really feels like I was taken advantage of... how are you suppose to know what size you want if you've never tried it on or shown them a picture or talked about what you'd like them to look like? That's not right that I didn't know and it was never mentioned what style of implant I was getting, and that I was told they used one kind of implant but then after surgery I found out it was a different kind.

Very unlikely this is a true story! Especially since Dr. Loessin does not work at CG Cosmetic Surgery and has not worked in Miami! Probably one of his ex-wife's vindictive friends.
March 11, 2016
He does work there, sorry I replied in the comments instead of directly. I can post proof that he does... I am not making this story up. You can add me on fb and watch my review videos as well if you think I'm making any of this up
March 11, 2016
He does work there. He just did mine
March 11, 2016
No he most definitely does work at CG Cosmetic Center, I can post copies of my paperwork/emails with his info on them if you would like proof... A friend of mine also had her BA done there by him as well two weeks after me. My surgical coordinator told me that he was in the middle of a divorce and that's why he doesn't have it listed that he works at CG Cosmetics, because when I originally booked surgery my coordinator never mentioned his name for possible surgeons. So when I received my confirmation info about my surgery date I thought it was weird that his name was on it (when he wasn't mentioned originally), she said he wasn't listed on the website because of his divorce.

I'm sorry you went through that I just had my BA on the 9th with DR Leossin. And no he isn't there to try on sizes he gives recommendation then he says one of the girls will be in with different sizes and I ER to pick which one. You had more than enough time to say you need to try your size. Sounds like you didn't speak up. They put an IV in before they put you in the surgical room. Why did you go to the surgical room if you wanted to try sizes. And why did you lay down if you still needed to try sizes. I didn't get a lot of time with him either. He came in asked what I wanted. I explained. He gave suggestions. And that was that. The next day he came in to mark me I asked more questions there he answered them too. Seems like your biggest discontent was not trying in sizes before doing under. But honestly if it was that serious to you you should've made a bigger deal and not had allowed them to start an IV or even take you into the surgical, or even lay on the surgical bed. By then you already knew what was about to go down.
March 11, 2016
I told them numerous times that I needed to try on sizes (the girls at the front desk the second I got to the clinic, my nurse before doing a pregnancy test, and when they were getting the IV set up) they just kept telling me not to worry. Nothing about the surgery day of was explained to me, I have never had surgery before or tried on sizes or discussed size so I had no idea what to expect. There was no girl to bring me sizers or try on, my surgery was pushed up over an hour early.. I was rushed into surgery the second I got in the clinic. I didn't meet Dr Loessin until 30 seconds before surgery, I hadn't talked to any of the PS at the clinic before that and I never met my surgical coordinator.
March 11, 2016
Again sorry you had to go through that. Really sounds like you needed to speak up some more. And it was wrong of them to ignore you. But the moment you went on that surgical room was the moment you needed to say no. Kind of hard to present your case when you weren't forced to lay on that surgical table. Sometimes you really need to speak up and not take no or later for an answer if it was something that is isn't fit well with you
March 14, 2016
They shouldn't have ignored me in the first place but the surgery happened already so I can't change that part. I'm not saying that Dr Loessin is a bad surgeon I'm just not happy with how unorganized the clinic was and that I felt I was ignored. I wish I had gone with Dr Krau, not because I think he is a better surgeon (I'm sure they are both great at their profession) but I know he gives out his personal number so that you can message him any time with questions or concerns, for any of my questions/concerns I have to go through their claims department which usually takes a while to hear back and I don't actually know if I'm questions/photos are going to a surgeon or not

Yes he does work there he is doing mine Monday April 25th 2016.danm sorry to hear that about your journey .I am flying from Michigan to MIA not far but far enough for me to make sure I get exactly what I paid for high profile cohesive silicone DD under muscle. Sorry my dear but this is surgery .how could you laydown and accept to be put to sleep for a surgery that you don't know if the doc understood exactly what you wanted.surgery is been between life and death for anyone to take it this light and trust people that you don't know ,they can't read mind.i hope they work something out for you

It was very fast in and out, rushed. I'd never had surgery before so I didn't know that's what it was going to be like. I have to wait for the 6 month mark before I can discuss a revision, I had an infection and spitting stitches after as well. Most likely I will just keep what I have for now, and wait until I've had children to have the revision.

he does work at CG Cosmetic Surgery. I went to him just 4 days ago and my [RS bleep] is fucked up too.

My story is in NO WAY MADE UP

QueenB_xo
Someone commented saying that my PS (Dr Loessin) does not work in Miami or at CG Cosmetics and said person has also accused me of making up my entire story.

I'm posting about what my experience was like, I'm not trying to bash my surgeon.. I just don't want other girls to go through what I have been going through not only physically but emotionally as well. This has been extremely hard my me, it has affected my family, relationship and work life. So I would really appreciate it if anyone is going to posts comments on my story make sure you have your facts straight first before accusing me of making things up because I would never do that and I am happy to show whatever proof I need to back up my story.

His information doesn't show he works there. That's possibly why that person said that. They are now just showing on their FB page that he works at CG cosmetics. You really should have spoken up more. Seems like you were getting ignored and you just let it slide. Instead of making a big deal. They don't force you in the surgical room and they don't force you to lay down. Once you got in that surgical room you should have said no. You should have never laid down and put your arms out as they request if you weren't ready. Not trying to be mean here. But it seems like you just let it happen.
March 11, 2016
I'm not trying to be mean, I'm being honest. I'm happy that you had a better experience than what I did. But my experience with CG Cosmetic surgery was not the same as yours. My BF was there as well and even he told the staff I still needed to try on sizes. He assumed I was trying them on after I left the room... I was told I could try on sizes the day off surgery. When I said I needed to try on sizes they just replied with "don't worry". So it wasn't like they didn't hear what I said. I'm not even worried about the size now, I've had complications since then.
March 12, 2016
Again I'm sorry it didn't go well. But you really should not have laid on that surgical table if you weren't ready yet. It's your surgery not theirs you needed to take control. Your breast do not look bad by the way. And I'm sorry you're having complications. How is that going? Did you find out what caused the infection? And are you stating that the infection was caused because of the Doctor? You know infections happen. For various reasons lack of proper care could be one if them. I not trying to defend anyone but besides the fact that you didn't try on sizes and ended up getting something smaller than you wanted there's not really that much to blame the clinic for. You allowed it to happen. You're speaking up now and you really should have spoken up at the clinic. If they weren't listening to you then you should have spoke up louder. Again they don't force you to lay on that table. I hope you get better.
