Getting worse by the day--

Hello Ladies-- just a quick update. My right breast is getting worse by the day, and I'm getting zero support from the office staff and Dr Deuber. I'm a very reasonable person, and have been very patient since I know schedules are crazy, but 3 weeks and no response from a person in charge is unacceptable. I have a real issue and deserve some sort of official communication/directives from the office.
It's like I have two different breasts and my right is bottoming out. And I'm not even 6 months post op. This started almost immediately
I'm not happy with this outcome. I can deal with a reasonable amount of asymmetry, but this is a procedural problem not symmetry problem.

I also used this same dr and have one side slightly starting to bottom out just barely and he said he won't fix it because it's not a major issue . I am not happy at all. Am I going to have to pay someone else to fix this ? He says it is just the way my muscle is. That is not the problem . What are you going to do

I messaged you but wanted to comment here . What have you done since August . I will be making a negative review of Dr Deuber as I had to go see a different surgeon to fix it

I posted several pics on this site to confirm my slight bottoming out. Several surgeons agreed. I found a surgeon ihn Ft Worth who listened and genuinely cared about the issue. He went in and used extra stitching to reinforce the area and also fixed a place on the other side where my nipple was turning Inward. Yes I had to pay again but so thankful I found a surgeon who listens . Oh and since I did this I didn't keep my follow up with dr deuber and didn't call to cancel. Nobody from their office even caked to reschedule or find out why I missed.

10 week Update-- bottomed out on right already?????!!!!!

Kel2376
Hello All! Well... It's hard to believe I am at the 10 week mark. I must say that I believe everything has healed properly, howevever I am not real happy with my results. From the beginning I communicated w my ps office that I felt something was off. (See diff shapes in pics) Now I think I may be starting to bottom out on my right breast. I only have 8 week photos which I will post. When I raise my arms you can clearly see the dilination between the implant and breast tissue and it looks like the implant is sitting below incisions. If I look at previous photos I can see some suggestion of this as I progress through the healing process. Does any one else see this??? Or is it mal position of the implant? Or am I being to picky and crazy??? Also my right nipple is star gazing when lift arms. Also, the shapes are driving me crazy Two different shapes and sizes. Ugh! So frustrating when you pay for these procedures and expect a different result. I am on week # 2 of waiting to hear back from PS office. It's seems communications are more difficult maybe with out of town people. (I traveled 1500 miles for this Doctor) I can handle the asymmetry so long as it's only noticeable to me. But the bottoming out? Not so much. My doctor boasts a nearly 0% chance of any re op due to his method. So, let's see where this ends up. I'll post more pics tonight. I still love the look and don't regret surgery per say, but maybe I should have stayed with a local surgeon and endured the pain. I'm considering a consult with a local surgeon to get a second opinion, but gosh darn it I only wanted to have to do this once. Grrrrrr! Any opinions appreciated

Have you gotten a response yet to determine if further procedure needed

Hi rphtx- I emailed the doctor a second time as my issue is quickly progressing from bad to worse. I asked for a response in 10 business days. I received a response the very last day. He responded as I predicted. "Go back down and have him look in person". I understand that logic, however I chose this doctor because he boasts a nearly 0% re op rate, and 24 hour recovery. He did fulfill the 24 hour promise, but not the almost 0% re op. I saw two local plastic surgeons (my BF is a PCP) there fore he knows all the docs in town and will give honest opinions since my BF sends them lots of business and they don't need to make money off of me. Both local surgeon concurred. My left breast has the angle because that muscle was not released in surgery, thus also causing the different shape. The right breast has had the breast fold violated in surgery therefore my implant is slipping down, both causing double bubble and a larger appearance. Honestly, they look terrible in swimsuit and no bra. I'm so upset. The down fall is at least 1000 per trip down to Dallas. So by the time I go down for him to look I've spent 1/3 of a new surgery plus, my guess is due to liability issues no fault will be expressed and therefore I'll have to pay for revision. You do this surgery with the hopes that you won't have to repeat for 10 years. I really had faith in him. I guess I'm learning a hard lesson that it's best to stay close to home for surgery because it's much more difficult to deal with issues. I do feel this is a mechanical error on the doctors part since it began 2 weeks after surgery. I have new pics to post and will do so. Thank you for asking

They look perfect. Sometimes we tend to obsess over things that no one would normally see. Just stop thinking about it so much and you will slowly realize how good they look. I obsess all the time too lol. I can't help but mention your amazing arms!!!!! Girl what is your workout like?

Thank you both klw87 and elle918. You are both so sweet. And you are right. We are human and will never be perfect and need to just be grateful we had the means to even have surgery. So long as it doesn't get worse and not noticeable in clothes I'm going to accept my result. Also, the fact that I experienced no pain really was great. As far as my arms, I lift about three times a week and cardio five. I think the cardio helps lean out. Thank you so much again for the support!!!
