Very unhappy with sagging to my my elbow

As you can see my breasts look like "cow udders" now. Please read my updated original review. I am now awaiting two surgeries to correct the one BA I had 7 months ago. I had asked should I have a lift with original surgery and was advised no. Now I have to have implants removed so I can have a lift and them wait 3-6 months for Healing ( with no implants) and then surgery number 3 (all within a year) and totally $12k so that my breasts do not hang to my elbows. My preop breasts look good in a push up bra and now finding 32 G/H bras to lift them causes raw spots on my shoulders. I will update in the future as I'm going for opinion number 3 next week. Advice: go with your own instinct on what's best for you because the dr doesn't always know best.

5 weeks post op

Feeling good. Tried on my moms "real" bra and was happy the way looked. Wearing sports bra 24 hours a day keeps the compressed. They look soooo much better n real bra. One more week ! This one is a little small but still gives me an idea of what's to come.

4 weeks post op

It's been 4 weeks today and I have no more uncomfortable days. Incisions look good and don't hurt anymore. I tried wearing a band to assist right breast (pictured backwards due to taking pic n mirror mode ) but band made me sore and dr didn't tell me too. Over all. Very happy. Can't wait to wear "real" bra!!!

I originally thought this was and Excellent dr with an Excellent staff. I originally said it was Great overall experience. I drove over 150 miles to use what I thought was a wonderful surgeon. I decided I wanted to use Dr burns after seeing his before and afters and reading his reviews. I am now changing my review after 6 months. I had originally asked if I should have a BA alone or with a lift. After seeing my pics via email I was told BA only and although I thought I needed a lift but went with the advice of dr. My immediate post op results were nice. High and round like I wanted. However week after they became saggier and saggier. I had asked for DD and now have to buy special bras as I have saggy G/H cups with a 32 band size. My breasts now hang down to my elbows! After seeking two second opinions I am being told that my behind the muscle silicone implants are not behind the muscle and that my pockets were made too low. My only way to repair this is to now have two more surgeries- one to have my implants removed for 3-6 so a lift/ reduction can done and allowed to heal and them pay for yet a third surgery to have implants out back in. Again after receiving this devestating news I sent pics to dr burns office and asked what they recommend and I was sent an $8000 estimate to have a lift. While I do know that there are no "guarantees" in cosmetic surgery I have been told by not one but two ps that I definitely should've originally been advised to have lift with BA. My coworker who had the exact same presurgical size and shape as me had a lollipop life with her BA and looks amazing and now I am having to plan two more surgeries and am very upset. My implant "pockets" were placed too low and what was supposed to be "behind the muscle" now looks like "rocks in a sock" with implants that have fallen over 8-10 inches. I really wish I would've been adamant about the lift originally . So I guess this is partly my fault. Although I am very embarrassed by my looks I will post pics so others can see. I wear a bra 24/7 as the skin on my upper breast pull so much and my shoulders have huge indentions from holding up such tremendous weight- they are actually raw skin! While my results may not be typical of this dr I feel everyone need to see my end results while searching for a PS and deciding what surgery to actually have- I relied heavily on reviews from others and was shocked when my quote for corrective surgery was higher from my original surgeon for one surgery than my two second opinions for two surgeries for other well known and reviewed PS. I am hesitant to return to the same PS that did original BA- especially since he recommended only one surgery while both other PS Said combo lift with implants put back in would not be a good idea. Next week I will seek yet a third opinion and will continue to update. I hope I have good news yet after reading pros of two stage lift I am leaning towards this as before it's all over I will have ended up spending close to $13k and going "under the knife" three times is around a year. I welcome any opinions or advice.
