12yr Old Implants Time for Renew Strattice and Saline - Fort Lauderdale, FL

UPDATED FROM Bambi4
4 months post

So it's been almost 4 months here's some pictures

$22,000
I'm adding these photos to show how my breast look after my $22,000 breast augmentation. Wrinkles, bottoming out and breast spread 3 fingers apart. Not happy! over being positive. But I guess I have to keep these for a time because. I could of had 3 or 4 breast jobs were I live for that price. And I wouldn't do that to my husband. So for my mistake iof not believing some reviews I paid the price. They are true. He's fast and always rushing. I felt like he just tells you what you want to here and doesn't listen to you. He marked me left. And wasn't coming back to see me before I left the hospital. But I threw a fit and I think the nurses were worried any way. I mean I looked like Frankenstein. Then no one called or checked on me. I didn't here or see anyone until the follow up. I did text him he always was rude and seemed put out. When ever I ask him questions.

So sorry and sad for you!!! I escaped being a victim of his!!! It was unfortunate that I broke my foot and had to cancel the surgery but it was a blessing in disguise!!! Are you in any pain from the internal sutures? It's a shame that you've spent sooo much money to have the unexpected results that you have... I definitely would not recommend having revis to revise you!!! Have you asked for any type of refund to help you toward getting a revision by another plastic surgeon? He should at least offer something!!! You and Onthebeach have similar stories which has definitely made me change my mind of having surgery with Revis. I drove from NC for in person consult and felt somewhat rushed and when he looked at me he said 800cc staying above muscle with strattice w/internal bra would do the trick and I as so convincing that I booked on the spot. After ai left I just felt I rushed to book for the discount being offered. Other surgeons had suggested moving below muscle but he said their would be too many complications... Confused on which way to go. I have an in person consult wit Krau he fixed Onthebeach as she was done by Revis and had poor results. I feel if Krau could fix her surely he could do a good job with me! I just hope I like him and his approach!!! I wish you good vibes in your journey and I'm so proud of how brave you are to share your dissappointing experience with the Realself girls!!! Feel free to Private Message me anytime I'm here to provide emotional support as well as all the other girls here!!! Sending hugs!:)
I almost went to him as well. I don't know why because I would never need over 450cc. I reach out to Ms. Onthebeach after I saw her review. She has been my angel ever since. I was spared because she had the courage to share her story and post photos that got my attention. I have since watched her travel a very long journey to correct this internal bra revision with Revis.
He is a butcher. Bad surgeon. I told my friends find someone else. They did. Anyone asked me I show them my boobs. , and then he sent me a letter telling me he dropped me as a surgeon I said " not for a million dollars I'll give you my boobs again POS butcher "
I am putting my word out telling everyone " do not go to him " he needs his license revoke.
Why not everyone go to medical board, he will loose it!
Absolutely there are so many of you. Where to start?
He sent me letter also. You see this was his way out! Also he says see you in year so he waits till the Fla law one year warranty runs out then he can charge you again.
What do you mean he can charge me again ???? Please explain
im just saying the Fla law says they must fix if there's a problem. After year warranty is up and they will charge you. He makes sure he waits. He tells everyone he messes up to come back after year. That's what he said to me come back in year. I would continue to get worse every day. I would never let him touch me anyways after the first time! That was enough torture!
I do not want him to fix me. I won't give him my boobs again for nothing in the world. He has no clue about what he is doing. No way. I will put myself on the hands of this ignorant butcher.
That's priceless he said he dropped you when he just messes up people's life. He is arragent man.
Hey Bambi a girl just told me this
Hey- so check out this website. Search his name and you'll find he is board certified but not in plastic surgery. A plastic surgery board certification is a much harder longer process to go through- you can receive a certificate for it but not be board certified. Look at this link and also look up Leonard Roudner to compare- you won't see any public complaints or disciplines on his license and under specialty certification it has board certified plastic surgery- you won't see that under Ary Krau. https://appsmqa.doh.state.fl.us/MQASearchServices/HealthcareProviders/Details?LicInd=53679&ProCde=1501

Also click on discipline on file and it allows you to look up a case that he ended up owing 250,000 dollars on- he also doesn't carry malpractice insurance- which I know a lot of doctors don't but I never go to ones that don't carry at least something. It's typically a bad sign- just my opinion- though. If you search him for malpractice more cases for breast augmentation come up and one for lipo, which the patient coded :/ so anyways. I just didn't get a good feeling from reading the reports. I know any doctor can have a complaint filed for anything but an actual discipline on file or their license means they admitted to malpractice. We are all human and clearly aren't perfect- we make mistakes, but anyways. Hopes this helps some of what you were asking.
This is one of the reasons we got botched! Just thought I would share this and hope it helps you!
He did same to me after he wouldn't help me I wrote a bad review. He sent me a letter saying he dropped me as patient! I said Thank you!!! Lol no way I go back to him!
I know in fla that malpractice insurance is optional but I didn't ask if he had it I knew inside he did not. Dumb move for me that should of been a red flag.
To late now! live and learn very expensive and life altering lessons. Why he is just enjoying him self daily with no regrets about not caring about the out come of his own work. It's not as if we were in bad health or really had major adjustments to be made just normal improvement for a revision. Sometimes people are very deceiving. I should of went home the day I met him I didn't feel like was being forth coming just says yes he can fix everything. Because that's what everyone wants to hear!
Yes I state of Fla he doesn't have to carry it but he has to by law have $250,000 in account for law suits. That's why that girl that sued him and won got the $250,000 max. I also feel dumb for not checking the bad reviews and medical board to see that he's admitted to malpractice . Like you said lesson to learn! At least we're not alone! There's plenty more he ruined!
Do any of you ladies know how to do a doctor in Indiana?
What?
Search on the State's medical board website and Google his name and credentials to see if any legal documents or cases appear.
I am so sorry that you ladies had to experience this. You are beautiful inside and out. I admire each of you for stepping up and posting your experiences. My battle was different with cancer but we are all women and we are in this together. Stay strong dolls.
So I`ve been reading your story and I hope I`m hearing/seeing this wrong. These pics on March 16th is what you look like now and Dr. Revis did the surgery? I`m new to this site and have been going through some of the cases before scheduling my next surgery. I was going to go with Revis but changed my mind after he gave different price quotes and other ladies telling their horrible stories. My doctor did a great job but he wasn`t experienced enough to do the Internal Bra so we found Dr. Christopher Pelletiere and he has excellent reviews so my surgery is set for April 21st...
Littlete, please check out my page.
Dr. Krau fixed me. He took out those internal bra stitches causing pain, ridges, holes and more. He used Bella Derm for rippling, gala flex to support bottom, added fat. This works! Also full lift. I was a mess before too. That internal bra stitches to rib cage and it's not natural it will hurt and be painful always! That's my experience!
My doctor says he`s going to use Strattice...I hope its not painful. My BA was a breeze had surgery on a Friday felt great on Monday. I may post on her to let other people know how it works.
I also am a victim of Revis. I was stupid enough to let him perform 3 revision on my breast. I also have the internal bar and I have been in pain for years now. I am finally at a point in my life I just want to be done with my implants and just be happy with myself. Revis never takes responsibility for his mistakes. He only interested in taking your money. Does not care if he causes you pain. I would never let him near me every again!! Ladies please find another doctor.
Your story sounds similar to that of a lady on here by the name of Red Wine Lover. She had a revision with him but it was for a body lift. I have never spoke with her but I do believe she had more than one surgery with him.
Hi Terris, I had the same with that terrible pain. Look at my page!

everything looks like it is healing well looking alot better than the beginning of your journey
Yes just being patient I think in the end thing will look fine.
Yo look so much better and I really hope your healing goes as well as it has so far. I have definitely had a journey and just had implants put back in after and explant and I am so sad about my results as I am completely uneven. Don't know what to do.
If it's early on things can change be positive and take care of your self. That's my moto if you listen to negative people it can take a toll on you. Be strong. If you went through all that you have you are a strong woman.
looking great!!! have you been able to workout with the internal bra? you are so lean.....
I haven't done arms or back just butt . But my arms are still cut just smaller I do ab, legs and butt
How are you doing? Curious have you had a TT? I'm researching TT's now and looking for a good surgeon. Exercise will not get rid of my mid section too much skin and stretch marks from having babies! You are in great shape! I'm not as thin as you so not sure what can be done but I'm researching to see...
No only boobs always wanted lipo on my love handles and a butt job but my husband would never allow that. I have worked out since after I had my fourth child I was 29 at least every other day
Strong lady. I admire your strength. I train three - four days each week and cardio on 2/3 days and I believe that working out gives us so much surgery can not. How are you doing now? Any improvements?
Everything is starting to feel like it's mine agian. But I'm still waiting for a few pulls in between from the internal bra to go away and I have ripples around the boob. Guess for me I needed like 20 pc of strattice my skin looks a little thicker but I'm just so thin skinned and my body process things fast so I guess it that's what is doing. Later I'll just get a smaller set. Or replace with silicon like I had before. Later after aging 21,000 I could of had 2 or 3 boob jobs. Oh well
Bambi4, I'm the same thing as you thin skinned! No Body fat! It's a good thing we will never have to worry about weight! I too my first revision $10, my next one to fix was $16, so what we do to look good! I had Bella Derm and gala flex which worked for me. I'm sure you look great!!!! It's a journey isn't it!
Better as far as healing. But I have wrinkles around the whole breast mostly when I lean over. Also the middle is still not laying right. So I'm still not happy. 22,000 later and I would say they look worse. Strattice did not make a difference 3,000 a piece 4 pc. But I will deal with them till new silicone sizes come out.
Are you in any pain? What does Revis suggest? He suggested strattice for me too. I have read a few reviews where girls still had rippling after paying for strattice. My fear is having rippling and muscle animation after my next revision. I have done so much research! It works on some and not on others... I have decided against going to Revis so thankful he gave me my deposit refund! I have an in person consult with Krau on the 21st. I'm out of state so I sure hope it's worth the trip! I haven't been able to find a local surveillance that specializes in revisions for lateral placement in NC... I'm nervous but hope he's the one. We will see! I'm currently above muscle since 1999 and Krau suggests below per email consults with pic. I have huge concern about muscle distortion so we'll see what he suggests. Do you have muscle distortion if so is it bad? I'm praying for you and hope you get the results you desire! You've gone this far it only makes sense for you to get the results you want I'm sure there's a specialist that can do it! I'll let you know what I think of Krau... He did miracles for Onthebeach! Please don't give up and feel hopeless because you're not! Try not to let this consume you I know I go they spells where I get obsessed with getting my wish boobs and the thought of a tried surgery and money being spent scares me too! I'm gonna keep going on consults until I feel like I've found the right one. The surgeons in Fla. don't charge for consults the surgeons in NC charge $125 a consult and I haven't felt they have the experience! So I'm taking my time and continue going on consults out of state. Pousti has good reviews but is in Ca. Just too far for me my boyfriend doesn't fly. Feel free to message me if you need to talk or want to vent. I'll give you my number. We are all here on this site to support each other. Enjoy your day!
I am happy to hear that you are healing after this long and INTENSE recovery for breast revision. I am so sorry about your experience. I understand and I would not be happy either as $22,000.00 is a huge investment but most of all....this is your body that you personally sculpted, after having four children, by working out and eating properly. I am going to private message you later. Stay strong pretty lady and feel free to private message me anytime. HUGS!!!!
How is you're final results? Do you still have the ridges in center? Mine never went away. Hope you're healing process is going well. It's not exactly fun with revisions! Lol what us girls go threw!!
Not gone yet but it's only been 12 weeks. I was told by others it can take 5 months

Glad you are healing well!
Thank you keeping up the hope!
I just got strattice too. I am 3 days post op how was the recovery for you
Long but I had a big overhaul on these the stattice is pretty much almost flush with my skin now I could feel it. I can feel it but it is feeling more like mine softer. It's been a long recovery for me I'm still not done yet hopefully in 1 or 2 more weeks I'll b out of the woods if I don't hurt the boobies. Lots of drainage the first week I think I had my Adrian's out the 2 or 3 week you'll have to read my review
Drains
You certainly had a tough and stressful recovery. Your local plastic surgeon certainly provides outstanding follow up care. The necrosis has healed very nicely. I was really concerned about it initially. You are a very strong person! Hang in there.
Yes things are better waiting for the pulling in the middle to relax
How are you doing? Do you still have indentions? do you have any pain from the internal bra? So glad things are improving for you! Hope to hear from you soon!
Doing well waiting for tape to fall off!
