Silicone implants placed in Costa Rica developed stitch abscess and eventual implant exposure on left breast. Sought out specialist DrRevis, who performed a bilateral exchange to saline as existing silicone not available in us. Left breast healed fine. Opposite breast, which previously healing appropriately before exchange ruptures with subsequent exposure at inferior pole at 3 points. Contacted Dr Revis regarding situation, was told "90% chance of removal , 10 % chance of placement of smaller implant with decrease in size of opposing side which healed fine., and 0% chance of maintaining symmetry at present size which I am very happy with. So now heading towards my 3rd surgery with unacceptable options. Note I live in Usvi, where there is 1 plastic surgeon who refused me. Cannot afford time ,nor cost of multiple additional procedures which would necessitate travel of hundreds of miles. I also happen to be an ER physician so am not entirely ignorant in regards to medical practice.

Was extremely happy with initial results, with resolution of problem to left breast. However, once things stared happening to the right , previously healthy breast, Dr Revis was obviously annoyed and appeared uncaring,nonchalant, did not provide me with acceptable options knowing my travel and work situation, left me with the option of permanent asymmetry, vs unnecessary procedure to reduce a healthy breast down to size smaller than I have had for 15 years when he knew I was happy with my current size. Overall the revision specialist cost me 10000, and left me with worse that I presented with.
