29 Years Old- Boobs Disappeared After Breastfeeding Three Kids - Folsom, CA

One year PO and Very unhappy

My dr made the decision to move the fold on my left breast. He said it would make them appear more even, even though I never thought of them as particularly uneven. I agreed, because he's the dr right? He does this every day so he would know better than I would.
I noticed almost right away that my left breast appeared much different than the right but every time I expressed my concerns he basically waved them off and told me they look fine.
What essentially happened is that the new fold he created isn't strong enough to support the weight of the implant and it is slipping down. It sits about an inch and a half lower than my right breast. An extremely noticeable difference. Because it isn't sitting where it should, there is a very noticeable divide between the implant and my actual breast tissue, creating an almost double bubble effect.
Not only is it ugly but it causes a lot of pain and discomfort. Any type of flexing causes extreme distortion because of how it has slipped past the muscle that it should be under.
At my last appointment I brought it up (again) and he basically told me I was being picky but if I really wanted it fixed he would do it, but it would cost me another estimated $2500 out of pocket.
My right breast has had zero issues and looks pretty great still. I wish I had asked more questions about what could happen by moving the fold. I spent a lot of money on this procedure and now I'm too embarrassed to even let my husband see me topless. This has caused so much insecurity with me. But unless I can come up with another $2500, I am stuck with it.

I have my second consultation with Dr Mabourakh on Monday. Would you mind updating on where you are now and if you have decided to fix your boob? Maybe a pic of what it looks like? I read your review and it's got me freaked out a little. I'm hoping to hear back from you soon.

Hi I had the exact same experience with a different doctor, except he offered to try to fix it at no charge. He said my anatomy was challenging and the implant would probably fall out of the pocket again after revision. Ironically I went to see Dr. Mabourakh to see about him doing the revision and he seemed confident that he could revise my errant breast to make it look like my other breast, but after reading your story I decided not to do anything. I hope you are doing better.

Maybe dr nassif could help. I saw him correct this issue on Botched

Left boob still pissing me off

MrsMayhem
I ended up having an emergency visit with my dr on Wednesday due to the swelling and pain in my left boob. I had a sneeze fit the night before and it caused bleeding that was collecting under my boob. He taped the whole underside for more support and I bought a zoo front molded cup high support sports bra. I have zero pain in either breast but I'm constantly uncomfortable no matter what I'm doing. He did say my left breast may look different since he lowered the fold. I'm going to be so upset if that's true because my right breast is perfect and my left is more cone shaped. I hate morning boob! Can't wait for them to soften more and close the gap in between lol. It has already improved so much! I went to target yesterday and found a comic print sports bra that is just smooth and stretchy, and insanely comfortable. $12!! Best Buy ever. I'm going to hold off on normal bras for a few months because I would hate to buy them and they not fit later on.

Pain and swelling on one side

MrsMayhem
A few days ago I was able to switch from norco to plain Tylenol. I can't believe how well I have been healing! Well this morning I woke up and my left breast is very swollen, especially on the underside and there is a lot of pain underneath. I don't know if it is because the dr lowered my folds and this normal for that.
I really love the staff at dr mabourakh's office. They never seem bothered when you call to ask a million questions and always take their time to answer questions. I emailed some photos on and am waiting for the dr to look at them. I may need to go in today to have it looked at.
