I never review things, ever, but I had to share my experience with Dr. Revis. Back in 2014 I had my first breast implant surgery by a doctor locally, the surgery immediately resulted in symmastia- the most dreaded and difficult complication to repair, and very painful, for me at least. I was naive and had the same doctor try to repair the issue, the repair failed... fast and I was left in tremendous pain, and worse off than before.
I came across Dr. Revis while searching for a specialist to fix my symmastia. I talked to a few other surgeons in my state, but they didn't seem to care and weren't responsive to my individual concerns.
I contacted Dr. Revis and he responded within 30 mins. He had replied with further questions, my goals etc. Not some generic automated response.
He is so caring, honest and confident (in a good way!) he answered every message I sent him leading up to my surgery (and after). His staff was SO helpful and kind. They helped me arrange everything from way over here in California.
He successfully repaired my symmastia! His internal bra technique is really strong and I never feel scared to press my breasts together anymore, we also used Strattice to aid in the strength, this was my choice though as an extra precaution. The results went beyond my expectations. I highly recommend him to anyone considering an augmentation or a revision. His work and experience speak for themselves. I'm so happy I met him, he truly has changed my life!

Do you have any pictures of your results. I live in the UK, I have symmastia and have been dealing with it for 9 years now. My surgeon palmed me off and I have seen 3 surgeons since all who won't touch me with this condition. No one in the UK will fix or deal with it.

That's awful! I'm so sorry :( yes, I do have some pictures of my results to add. I highly recommend my surgeon. Symmastia is so difficult to fix and after already having a failed repair, I knew it was worth it to travel to get the job done right.

I develop Symmastia in 2005 after a BA and had 2 unsuccessful revision..hope to hear from you soon
I have heard good things about the use of Strattice in revisions. So glad you're happy with your results. Feel free to share any pictures you're comfortable posting. Congratulations and thank you for sharing your story with us on RealSelf!
