Very poorly done and a big mistake

I decided to travel to TJ Mexico to have my implants replaced as one had gone hard. The size and shape of my current implants were great, but being they were over 30 years old, the surgeon I went to said I should replace both as chances of my good implant going hard was pretty good. I took his advice and said okay. I told him I didn't want them any bigger than they currently were but he said he had to make them slightly bigger due to the size of the pocket. I said okay but not too much bigger. He had two sizes written down and I said the smaller of the two would be acceptable, I would have like to keep the same size as I currently had, but if I had to go larger, then I'd take the smaller of the two suggested, but absolutely not to the larger. Well surgery was done almost six hours later than it should have been, so I was left starving, and by the time I was awake everyone was gone, and I was flying out the next morning. When I opened the package I was given, with the serial number of the implants, they were 105 cc's larger than my original ones, so this surgeon went far larger than the larger ones I said absolutely NOT to. I was completely devastated. I wrote to him, and he said once the swelling goes down I will love them. Well the swelling went down, and not only do I not love these huge massive ugly breasts, but one of them is hard as a rock (I look like a stripper, and no offense to strippers, but this is not the look I was going for, I'm 5'1 and 120 pounds so they look massive). When I wrote to tell him one was hard as a rock, all he said was that I need a breast life to get the other one situated higher on my chest to even them out. How does that help a breast that is hard as a rock, and no I don't want a breast lift, I don't need one. It was such a mistake going to this surgeon. There is nothing I can do now except save up to have them redone by a reputable surgeon. Please when going to TJ find a surgeon that will listen to you and promise to agree to your terms, not do what they want to, and then not fix the mess they've made, not that I'd trust him to touch me again. Good luck all, remember price isn't always the important factor.

I am very sorry to hear about your disappointing experience. I do appreciate you sharing this experience; I think that you have communicated several important lessons, that will be helpful to other young ladies in the future. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be pleased with long-term.

Thank you, I've very sorry as well. I don't think I'll ever be able to save up enough money to have them redone. It's so embarrassing, I'm frequently asked by friends if I've had a boob job. Everyone notices these huge ugly things. They've effected my life in so many ways, it's cut down on activities I'm able to do, and I've had to give away so many of my tops as they don't fit any longer, I can't even close button up blouses. I went from a full B cup to a D cup. I'm completely devastated by what this surgeon did to me. I hope others will be saved by my review.

OMG!!! How are you doing from this horrible experience? That's why I will always do a more extensive research when traveling to a foreign country. There are so many great surgeons in Tijuana, unfortunately you picked a bad apple.
