I went in for revision and after the surgery looked worse and still in pain after 5 months. I had several other consultations and have to redo the whole surgery. I am deformed and in pain. Dr.Revis offered come back and redo with double the price. He is very unprofessional and doesn't care about the surgery just the money. Run! There's several good plastic surgeons in South Fla. Don't go to Dr. Revis.

Hi, what happened? Do you have any pictures? I almost went to Dr. Revis, but backed out and went to Dr. Krau instead and glad I did. Please post more information, so I can help in any way that I can...

They are deformed and bottomed out after 4 months. He offered no help. He said I will see you in year and redo surgery at double price.

Thank you! I'm out now $11,000 and want to save others from the same. I'm planning on another revision ASAP.

Please tell us what happened. I am planning to get my breast revision from him next spring.

I will post some pictures for you. I have read he has blocked up others on reviews. There are so many great plastic surgeons that I am seeing now to correct that have 5 stars. Do you're homework because bad reviews tell it all. I will be happy to save you what I went threw by telling you more and sending pics which I will do soon.

Also I can give you names of the great plastic surgeons who have 5 stars that I have seen if you want me to send me you're email! I can also send you pics of my bloched disaster!

Hi! I also had surgery and I'm not happy with the results. I am looking for a good doctor in South Florida to have a revision, but don't know where to start. If you could please refer

If you could please refer the great plastic surgeons you have seen would be very helpful!

I'm seeing several all with 5 stars no bad reviews. I haven't made any decisions yet on who I'm going to. I'm in Boca so there's Dr. Deluca who was very professional. Also going to in Boca Dr. David Bogue. Dr.

Dr. Bernard Shuster, Dr. Wisnicki, Dr. Tal Roudner, Dr. Leonard Roudner.....there are couple more. After my bad expperience I'm being VERY careful on my decision. This list has 5 star reviews no complaints.

I had an appointment with Dr Hochstein in Miami and I am going to see Dr Michael Kelly also in Miami . I am looking for a doctor with many years Of experience to fix my Tummy tuck. Do you know anything bad about these doctors? I saw dr Hochstein, love his "before/after" pictures, but thought he was too celebrity and I felt I am only one more $$$. So, next week I have an appointment with Dr Michael Kelly. I am sooo scared and afraid to try to fix it and make it worsen!

I haven't researched fit tummy procedure. I would take you're time and find all the reviews. I looking for negetative reviews and now staying away from anyone that has them! I should of looked as now I'm finding other bad reviews with the same issues I had with the blotched surgery. It's good they have this site to help people find the right surgeon. I'm now finding good surgeons and there's so many I found from this site just reading reviews. I'm feeling same way afraid it will happen again! I don't know those doctors. Keep me posted and if I think anyone I see is good for that I will let you know!
May 23, 2015
I also research doctors based on the reviews, plus the years of experience and the credentials. But when I had my surgery last year Dr Revis reviews were all good, he is known as one of the best surgeons in South Florida and seem to be very skilled, I was so confident! Actually he only has a couple bad reviews and still a 5 stars doctor! But I am not happy with my Tummy Tuck results and the way he looks irritated when I express that I am unsatisfied. I want to find a doctor that really cares, I am not so worry about how much money I will have to pay, I Just want my tummy well fixed :(

Please post the experience so no one else suffers from bad surgery. There are several people now reaching out to me about bad reviews on Dr. Revis. It's so much pain, time and money for him not to even see me or try to help. It's just not fair. We live and learn! Next time I'm taking my time and getting the RIGHT info on who I go to!

May 23, 2015
Also I found out you can hire company to get bad reviews off! This is scary I too at the time looked and didn't see any but I'm finding them now!
User Avatar
May 23, 2015
Also I totally agree with you! I'm looking at it now if I find one bad surgery review with no help I'm simply moving on to one that doesn't! Last time I checked week ago I found several bad reviews on Dr. Revis and noticed now they weren't posted. I'm going to look into this!

What do you mean by "blocked up others on reviews"?
June 6, 2015
Dr. Krau in Miami, or Dr. Mast in Gainsville.
December 14, 2015
No. Do not go to him. You will regret it for the rest of your life
May 23, 2015
We are considering Dr. Revis for a revision after 2 very bad experiences. I have seen so many good reviews and before/after pics. Can you post more details and pics about your experience?
User Avatar
May 23, 2015
Look further. I did the same. Now there are so many girls reaching out to me. I have seen similar bad reviews. I'm going to post the picture today. When I reached out to him there was no help. Oh he did say he can redo the surgery I year double the price at $18,900. He didn't even bother to see me in person. I'm still in pain. His internal bra stitches didn't hold and one bottomed out with extreme deformity and holes, big ridges. I since seen several great surgeons and looking forward to getting these out ASAP!

Hi ladies. I had Dr Revis on my list for a revision, but then read the reviews on rate md and I decided to remove him as a candidate. I decided that I can't ignore what others are saying. Thank you for reminding me, because I almost changed my mind several times. I read Dr Krau's reviews and there was nothing negative, so I have him on the top of my list. Thank you for having the guts to post your review in order to help others! Keep us posted on what Dr. Ends up doing any future surgery. Take care!

May 26, 2015
I agree! I'm going now to doctors who have NO negetative reviews with blotched surgery.

And there are bad reviews on Dr. Revis. I would be happy to share any pictures with you! And the emails he wrote me!
May 27, 2015
Thank you. So kind of you to help others. It is so scary trusting someone with your body. I have waited years to think about a revision. I have been full of fear worried about another bitched surgery. Would appreciate anything that you can post!!! XO
May 27, 2015
Oh. That should say botched surgery
User Avatar
May 27, 2015
Thanks for appreciating my post. I had to show since there were posts asking me to! What is scary is this Dr had no intentions of helping or seeing me for year! If a patient says that she is in pain.....wait year!!!!!!
October 20, 2018
Hi! Went to him before seeing all the bad reviews and had four botched surgeries from him since May 2016, my last one with him was May 2018! I feel so stupid for going and paying him again and again hoping he will fix it! Revis keeps telling me " Easy peasy fix! Wait a year and come see me!" I am researching Drs to fixed them since he doesn't stand behind his work and blames me for it! I'm living with pain and all other issues from all his failed revisions! I feel so bad for you when I saw your pics b/c I know you were telling the truth. How did you handle him?
Thanks!

To the person who said he has a year to fix in his signed papers I looked again and NO where does it say that. I don't think any plastic surgeon says that! There are always complications but to come out worse one would think
User Avatar
May 28, 2015
I couldn't find the exact paper stating the 1 yr thing but my husband agreed it was def in there, it made us feel comfortable just in case. I do have the receipts confirming my 2 other surgeries after my revision with him and you can see that he waived his surgical fee. I'll post it to my page for you. I did read that each case is different though so yer papers may have been different but I assumed he'd give most patients the same 1 yr deal. I do rem some exclusions such as recurring CC (thats why I had a revision) and things like being disappointed with size. I'll do an update now...more pics would be helpful too honey. Yes I can see the deformation in yer cleavage but what did they look like before this revision? Any b4 n after pics? You had mentioned symmastia but I think that was 2 the drs forum not on yer review. You could still expand yer review with more particulars like implants size b4 n after. Overs or unders, saline or silicone, and implant size? I don't rem reading any of that. Then more pics, if yer comfortable with that. You keep leading on like yer gonna put more pics up but if its too hard for you then don't do it. Not everyone puts pics up but it would def help confirm what yer goin through. XX
User Avatar
May 28, 2015
if you can't find it maybe you didn't read it right as he sure doesn't care about my concern or pain. My old implants were over 10 years and they looked better than now. If they are new they should look good not deformed. Even if he did which I have in email he will charge me more I would NEVER go back to this doctor. I would NEVER trust him. It's not the money! It's the deformity and pain That no one should have to go threw. Really he should get it right the first time!!!!! There's no second with him now for me!

May 28, 2015
Do you work for this doctor? There's no plastic surgery contracts that say if your not happy in year they will redo, but someone that cares about his reputation and work would of seen me before year anyway. One consult with PS said I would of told you to make appointment ASAP especially if in pain.
May 28, 2015
Hi I am not saying you have not had a botched job, but the picture you have posted really doesn't show anything as evidence. Everything that I have seen with Dr. Revis in regard to breast augmentation or xl breast augmentation has been nothing short of great work. Like I said even though he done great work that doesn't mean he hasn't botched some either. It would just make things more believable if you were to provide some evidence to this site that would back up you claims.

Are you serious! The picture shows all. Maybe if you had my pain and money I spent to have him make it worse and have to redo them maybe just maybe you would be upset!!!!!!!

And.....read on! Finding several more bad reviews which I feel bad for all the others he did this to.

lol to say this picture doesn't show evidence! It's still attached to me and I have to look at ithem every day in tears till I get them fixed!

May 28, 2015
Fyi posting pictures anywhere that are NOT real evidence you can get sued! Maybe you should see more pictures because this one doesn't show how my left breast totally bottomed out! I'm happy for you who got good result certainly would of too preferred that!!!!!! The ps I'm seeing to fix have 0 bad reviews! I just reaching out to help others.
User Avatar
May 28, 2015
I don't think yer in anyway gonna potentially get sued for posting pics if thats what yer worried about. This is supposed to be an anonymous site so yer personal info should be guarded. I would watch what you put in writing though as that could be considered slander if it is in anyway a false statement that could damage his reputation. Pics are more proof than words if you think about it and that's what we all see and consider most when researching a PS. Anyone can say they have bad results but to show those results is proof. Sorry yer not getting more reassurance here honey, just hang in there and do what you feel necessary to prove yer bad review.

You can not get sued for posting pictures and sharing your story. It's making accusations that will get you in trouble. In fact you would be much better off by posting pictures of your breasts and not saying a word. Let the pictures speak for themselves. You know, a picture is worth a thousand words... And for the record, I believe you and will help you, if I can.
User Avatar
May 28, 2015
Omg! Exactly you CAN get sued for putting pics on that are not real or true. And YES you can get sued for putting slander on any posts on anyone! My BF has 20 attorneys that work for him so I'm well aware of the law! Nothing I'm posting is false statements!

May 28, 2015
Really I just can't wait to redo these as other good plastic surgeons can fix them the first time!!!!

Even if they were deformed before which they weren't i went in to get the, fixed.... Not well I won't say pic tells all

May 28, 2015
No I don't work for him lol and yes a lot of PS stand by their work for the first year my best friend was in fear of having to go back in to support hers from underneath as they had dropped too fast and all her PS would have required was the anesthesia fee. He has a surgical facility in his office and pays the staff. Like I said I'm sure there are exceptions to them waiving their fees but I think it's done a lot, some support here ladies?! I've read of others on here who've had another surgery in the 1st year with the same PS at a lowered cost or no surgical fee. Too bad he didn't work with you, but like you said you wouldn't wanna go back to him anyways and I'm sure a lot of woman feel that way also. If yer not happy the 1st time what are the chances you will be the 2nd time, right?

May 28, 2015
yes you are right! Lots of them do as they should but it's not written in the contract! The ones who CARE about the patient! Absolutely Not the money.

My friend is the one who is posting about her revision surgery with Dr. Revis. I saw her a month ago when she was traveling to Raleigh and I never saw anything so horrible. I took several pictures of her to show the 5 plastic surgeons that I work for. They felt very sorry for her and said she needed a major revision with mastopexy and strattice for support. She went back to Dr. Revis and he wouldn't help her. She was smart to let the public know what happened to help others know that he did not help her resolve her issues. Our surgeons would have been embarrassed with the horrible outcome and helped our patients resolve it. I am trying to post the picture I took of her but need advice to see how to do that. I have talked to her countless times and she has now been to several Florida surgeons for consults. Everyone who sees her is appalled. Also, everyone she has seen agrees with our doctors that she needs a lift with strattice or siri for support and smaller implants. I wish he would have just owned up to the fact that it didn't turn out well after all the pain she went through. He could have just been ethical and fixed the issues. Our office charges minimum anesthesia and minimum facility with no surgeon's fee when we have revisions to do within a year from the original surgery. He should have stood by his work. If I were this doctor, I would be humiliated if I had an outcome like that. Of course patients are going to post bad reviews and put up pictures if the original surgeon doesn't try to help. Had he been professional and fixed the situation, she would have been happy. Of course she will now have to go through all the pain again which is so sad.

Dr.Revis put strattice on me. My boobs are down there. So he probably does not know how the place the strattice there because my implants are down there
