Breast Augmentation

Please view these additional photos which are the result of breast augmentation and follow up care from surgery by Doctor Christopher Chang in January 2017. Please read the full review that I have posted.

Please view pictures of breast augmentation in January 2017 by Dr Christopher Chang. The first picture is the incision opening with implant/stratus exposure. The second picture shows where Dr Chang’s partner, Dr Dufresne, re-sutured the opening and told me I was okay to leave on vacation (which was out of the country) the next day. Needless to say, the sutures did no hold and the incision reopened while out of the country. Unsure of what to do (and being in a third world country) I applied large amounts of Bacitracin and gauze on opened incision and supported the breast in a tight sports bra. Immediately upon my return, I called Dr Chang who was irritated stating it was his day off, however he agreed to meet me at his office. I met Dr Chang at his office to examine the incision - it was here I learned the previous closure of the incision by Dr Dufresne was more than skin involvement, but that the breast implant was actually exposed at that time. Dr Chang stated the breast implant has been exposed for several days and the main objective now was to keep me from getting an infection. He proposed leaving the incision and breast implant with betadine and re-suturing the incision there. I asked to go back to the hospital where the initial surgery was performed. Dr Chang was reluctant stating the main objective was to keep me from getting infected and he would repair the breast cosmetically at a late date. Picture 3 shows the “repair” several weeks later when Dr Chang removed the bolster - notice not only the hideous repair, but the resulting pressure ulcers from the bolster. Over the following months, Dr Chang seemed at a loss as to how to make this ordeal right regularly stating I was ‘lucky you didn’t end up in the ICU septic.’ He seemed to forget I was a patient who came to him for a cosmetic procedure and trusted him for the optimum outcome he promised. I even complied with his decisions during this recovery. He failed to acknowledge this, along with my pain, ruined vacation, lost time from work/wages, numerous postoperative visits (which would not have been necessary under normal circumstances) and the mere fact that this, and my ending result, is not what one expects from a cosmetic procedure - see remaining pictures.
I have so since undergone another breast augmentation to correct the previous malformation by Dr Chang. Yes, so I had to undergo another surgery, recovery and all he risk of surgery and anesthesia to recover from my experience with Dr Christopher Chang.
