9 months ago I had my second set of implants and lift done by Dr. William Leighton of Scottsdale Az. I felt it only fair to make that known as my loss of nipple was from the second surgery not the first. Dr. Leighton did offer to fix things but at this point I am not certain what I will do. The devastating photos are from the second surgery.

Attempt a corrective nipple surgery? Its been 9 months..If so who can fix this?
chai1836May 31, 2013
After two bad results with implants and lifts I am scared mentally and physically to go through anymore surgery....I was told by both Dr.s there was an issue with blood flow, one dr. blames one and the other blames the other. PLEASE advise me. several plastic surgeons said the nipple may not even take, I am truly devastated. I DONT have confidence in the surgeon who performed my procedures 9 months ago, nor do I trust him. I have been massaging the area 2x a day to get it to soften however there is still scar tissue there. PLEASE can someone HELP me I truly dont know who or where to turn. I am 53 in good health (thank g-d) have NEVER smoked or had any alcohol issues....PLEASE I need advice of someone who will be honest with me. (I live in Az) implants were suppose to be 425

I am putting it out there that although I had less than great results with Dr. Leigh, he has taken the time to write several emails to me, viewed my photos, and is willing to "fix my areola area" once things heal completely from the (second surgery) that he didn't perform. I am beyond grateful and although it will be an expensive ordeal as I will have to fly there and find somewhere to stay while healing he did offer to take care of things with the exception of the anesthesia bill. I tuly respect and appreciate this and again it shows what kind of Dr and human being he is. Again, medicine is not a perfect science and although I have had a very very difficult time, because of his communication with me, and the way he has reached out, I truly respect and appreciate him. Thank you Dr. Leigh! I will keep you all updated so you can see the after results...everyone deserves a second chance and I intend to give it to him.

hmmm? im left scratching my head...THIS is why I ponder the good of Boards such as these. If you and Dr. Leigh were emailing each other, trying to work this out...why are you posting it here? Sure i'm going to get a bunch of negative feedback for this...but really? i'm sorry you had a 'bad outcome" but truth be told, we are never promised that the outcome would be exactly as we have hoped. Thats by it is termed as "a bad out come". Dr. Leigh did my nose, infact I wanted to have a full Rhinoplasty, but my Dr. was skilled enough and experienced enough to know that I merely needed a tiny twick here and there, just enough to soften my features. He could have made more money by going all out...but he didn't... so now back to you....I am confused as to if Dr. Leigh did the first surgery 4 years ago? or did another Dr. do the first surgery 4 years ago and Dr. leigh was left to try and fix it? your post talks about suing and statue of limitations, I have to tell ya...you may want to research that further before you get ahead of yourself. If Dr. Leigh did my nose, and I didn't like the outcome, then if i was to go back for additional work because he "just didn't get it right" that would be on me for the law supports the fact that the outcome could be unexpected. if i wanted to ask him to make me look like Halle Berry, and I woke up looking like Dr. Phil...that would be just the outcome. don't get me wrong, I really do hope you get your situation fixed, but at this point i'm not even sure who is responsible for that fix. heck yeah if i were you, i would be upset as well, but i would also know there are no guarantees. I have to say that with the blashing youve done in regards to his work, was an unexpected find. Okay, going to be very blunt here: You really need to watch what you say. I fully doubt that he talked to you about the statue of limitations...and yeah, there are no legal recourses. If you are trying to get help, coming on here and speaking about him and his art in such a manner is not helping your case. You could have said all of this via email. I support you trying to fix it, but really? do you think this was the best way? Dont know how Dr. Leigh thinks; but If I read this about myself and i was your Dr. I would respect you more if you came to us. Yeah, I get it..this is why they makes these posting forums..but youve said a lot...A LOT! I have a list as long as my arm of things i want to get done ...and I will check them all off one by one..and Dr. Leigh Still will be the Dr. doing them. I hope you find some way to get this fixed

First of all although everyone has a right to their own opinions I respect you for that, but SHAME on you for your responses.
Ever heard of cause/effect or cause and consequence) refers to the philosophical concept of causality, in which an action or event will produce a certain response to the action in the form of another event.
My husband is a Dr. I am in WOUND CARE, do you not think as professionals we contacted Dr. Leigh BEFORE I had the second surgery?? I got no where that is why I posted what I did. I WILL not discuss this any further with you but will leave you with a few things:
1) As a parent I always told my kids to work things out for themselves, IF they didnt get anywhere, THEN and only THEN would we as parents get involved.
2) PICTURES DONT LIE.....my before and after pictures are NOT a "success" I never asked for perfection, only an improvement from what I had before which didnt happen. I am a communicator and went back several times and expressed my disappointment. I was told on numerous occasions it was a time element and things had to "settle"
3) I posted the positives about him responding as I wanted people to know that although my husband and I didnt have a positive outcome speaking with him before the surgery, he did in fact respond after I posted this. Was trying to be fair and be honest.
Your responses are uncalled for and not "normal" especially for a woman, if you understood and had a "medical" background you may have understood this better. I have nothing more to say and will NOT defend myself or my actions anymore.
I am happy you had great results, Id love to see how you would feel and respond if you had the same results as I had. Thank you for your time and your comments.

Dont have to be a Dr.....but i do understand how this works. If I died after having surgery on my nose, my family couldnt sue them because 'death' was one of possible 'side effects'...just as your surgery and everyone that desides to have surgery face. There is no magical mirror that has the ability to see the out come or could predict how ones body and tissues will react to said routine surgery. Youre right...if i had my nose surgery and didnt like the out come, i would either so back to Dr. Leigh or another Dr. In hopes of getting the desired results. Its not a new concept; its done all the time. Why? Because it would still be the result. Its like IVF. I did one cycle over ten years ago. We paid 30,000 For one cycle, which breakss down to one try. We were lucky; it worked the first time, but if it didnt, i couldnt go back to that Dr. Asking for my money back. It was still a result. And yes you did slam Dr. Leigh..and i stand firm to my beliefs that these boards are here to help people like us find the best Dr. Possible. Your review isnt valid due to the fact that you had additional work done by another Dr. As well. If i didnt like the way my nose turned out, i could put up the phone and make an appt to see him and possibly have more work done. You moved, so couldnt come back in...was he suspose to fly to you? Okay so your husband is a Dr. And you do some kind of medical thingy to...it still doesnt change the fact that your result was the result. These boards are so important for all those surgery newbies. We rely on facts. So please leave these spaces for people that have real positive and negatives results i.e. left the scissors inside someone or left them waiting in the cold Dr. Office for unusually long times. I wish this board would remove your review because it pushes the envelope as to where the lines of poor service and just a bad out come crosses. When someone decides to engine search Dr. Leigh, your review could be what pops up in their review window, causing them to seek assistance elsewhere.

This is too much! I just read all your and "daisyflower" 's posts and, well, hello, Dr. Leigh! You must be a true quack to stoop to such activity. Shame on you!
March 21, 2013
Thank you, twnty4krat, for telling us your story. I rely on stories like your experience to do my due diligence before procedures and surgeries. Since I do not want to go through what you did, I would eliminate Dr. whatever from my list of options and all/any other surgeon with low scores.
That chavibaby person makes me laugh, not even worth a response (fighting so hard for the Dr. Leighs, maybe 'she' is the doctor himself).
I truly hope everything works out greatly for you.

G-d bless you and thank you for your understanding kindness and for being intelligent enough to read through the lines and UNDERSTAND where things are at. Again I thank you sincerely for your kindness and understanding and for you being the "lady" that you are. Very sincerely and with warm regards

I just hope that someone reads through this posting to see the invalidity of the harsh review. Dr Leigh has spoke for himself below and has reached out to this past patient via email. This speaks for itself. As mentioned below by a commenter, a very negative review is now available online for a doctor who has only ever received 5 stars. The review is invalid and should be removed from the forum. I would like to see the reviews of the doctor who performed the 2nd surgery and lost the nipple but the patient has not reviewed this doctor online. It's unfortunate that this review may deter some patients from seeing Dr Leigh because whole truths have not been spoken here.
March 22, 2013
We are discussing ONLY the surgery and results performed on me by Dr Leigh...the pictures speak for themselves. The other Dr is and will be addressed there is a reason why he hasn't been yet. Won't discuss this any further with you.
March 22, 2013
I wrote a letter asking them to please remove her review. I dont understand why shes not getting it. Our posts merely states our views of her unfair review of Dr. Leigh, but she is responding with personal attacks.

Take your own advise chavibaby and learn to read AND write. You're the one coming across like an ignorant-brown-noser. You're the ONLY ONE fighting for what YOU see as 'right.' Every time I see someone trying so very hard to shut someone else up in order to hide a wrong doing, 9 times out of 10 is a person with an invested interest in the situation. If you WERE (that's how you say it and write it, btw) fighting for what is right, you are on the wrong side. If YOU were 'smart' you would see that. I am a woman, I am a patient, I have breasts, I sympathize and empathize on so many levels with twnty4rat and other woman who have had this happen to them. I wonder what's your interest in silencing twnty4krat? Are you just a phyco getting her kicks out of hurting someone who's already been hurt, or are you the Dr. Leigh hiding behind a fake profile? Get a clue and go away.
March 25, 2013
Please stay strong and pay no mind to those people trying to silence you. Your strength helps the rest of us who will (again) have to put our trust, breasts, and life in the hands of a ps. In my book you're an angel showing me where the danger is. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. You are way more brave than you think, so don't let those suspicious and flaky people discourage you. I am with you, I feel your pain and I'm sure that if I knew you personally, we would be such good friends. In that spirit I give you a hug and tell you to not lose hope, continue with what your heart tells you and don't let those negative people attacking you rob you of your peace.
March 23, 2013
Wow, this is an interesting thread! I am so sorry for what you went through. I had implants removed and my PS put my scars IN my breast instead of under, and one of them pulls in now and looks unsightly, so I feel for you that things went wrong. I have seen this areola spread after a periareolar lift happen a lot on this site. It's great that the Dr. has reached out to you and is offering to help! By the way, this Dr. does not have only 5 star reviews, there is a woman in the implant removal forum who gave 3 stars, so info below is not accurate. Maybe the two ladies below should petition for her review to removed as well. They might be honest patients looking to back their Dr.'s rep, but they are coming across as shills and are being somewhat nasty and oddly defensive. I find it 'interesting' that they joined this site only after your review, and are only in communication with each other. Hope everything works out for you!
March 23, 2013
Can't thank you enough for your support kindness and understanding. I so appreciate your feedback. I feel for you and am so sorry for your issues. I do hope you aren't in any pain and are able to get your issue resolved. My heart goes out to you my friend. Please keep in touch and let me know how your doing...I care. Again, thank you for your time your support and for your kindness. G-d bless
March 24, 2013
Oh get your facts right. Did the other lady leave for 14 years..had anotherr dr jack it up more then went bback to original dr to ask him to also fix what time and a bad dr did to her also..im always for whats right and wrong regardless of whom it applies to. The other girl i would be on her side and feel bad for her results...
March 23, 2013
I agree 100% with NervousGirlie!! In fact "somewhat nasty and oddly defensive" is SPOT on and is what everyone else is thinking. In general, this community is super supportive and it's very obvious their posts on here are planted. But back to the REAL issue : I am SOOOO sorry that this happened to you :( You are so brave and courageous for sharing your story and I hope that the doctor fixes this because this isn't an "unfavorable outcome" - this is just shoddy work. Hang in there and keep us posted!!
March 23, 2013
Thank you so much for your support and kindness. I would never intentionally hurt anyone, however I am the one hurting and have been for the last 14 years no one else. I truly believe until someone is in ones "exact shoes" they can't fully understand however both you and nervousgirlie understand are respectful kind and compassionate so again I thank you sincerely for that. This is a traumatic enough situation and then to have people not understand but see and hear only what they want to is very hurtful. Thankfully I was brought up right and was taught RESPECT HONESTY and although one may not always agree with others doesn't mean one has to be mean and cruel. G-d bless you and thank you for being the special person you are.
March 24, 2013
Wish what she went through on anyone... Educate yourself before you start calling it shoddy work. We are and were not being nasty. Never a bad word about her like you guys continue doing. Just stating our point of. View. If you or any of.you were that dr i would have said the same thing. She had her ssurgery 14 years ago. If dr. Leigh told her to let settle for 4 years, then why did she come back 10 years after that? And another dr did.additional work on her after dr. Leigh...i
March 24, 2013
I am only commenting to say that this is a public forum and anyone had the right to tell their story and what happened to them. No one should tell anyone to not review their own experience. I pray that some time soon you are able to get to a place with your breast where you will feel comfortable. as far as Dr.'s responding to patients post is that not crossing the line of patient confidentially. There is no need for anyone to know her personal info or dealings. Again, Regardless if all is true or not please respect her hand her feelings. It could very well be you.
March 24, 2013
Yep..could be me too!...but i wouldnt have waited 14 years! Just ageing is enough to have changed the possible new out come. If you fixed her car and she didnt like it but drove out of state knowing the more she drove it the worst it would be, then stops at some seedy shop along the way just to realize they made it worst..buut continue on..now 14 laater show up at your garaage asking you to fix it...not saying we dont feel sorry for her..i even said i hope she gets it worked out. I do not work dr. Leighs office im a scout for t and t elite models
March 24, 2013
Not that your comments are worth my time responding to but UNDERSTAND this....I went back to him several times through the years to no avail, we contacted him prior to the second surgery only to give him one more opportunity to assist us, once I posted the photos he responded and offered to assist. Look your bantering is only making things worse for him as I will only and always tell it the way it is and was period. Do yourself and Dr. Leigh a favor stop while your ahead and refrain from posting here. Thank you
March 24, 2013
What does my posting to you haave to do with dr leigh?...wow...you are sooo....not very smart...carrry on with your so called battle...im sure people will see the ugly in your ways...may you find what your looking for, regardless of how deep and dark you are willing to go and find it...no need to write someone to tell them to remove my post for i already told them to close my account...lol...youre very entertaining if nothing else
