I have had problems from the start, 4 surgeries so far and am completely depressed. On this site to get help as to best Dr for me. Located in VA, but no I will have to travel out of state. Sent photos to Dr. Revis in Ft Lauderdale and he said that I have double bubble, symastia, and bottoming out with ripples. I am petrified as this is my last hope. Cost is 17,135.oo as he has to do internal bra with the strattice, Could someone please help me in if they have experienced this many problems and it helped them, and also any comments on Dr. Revis. He wants to replace saline with silicone and do both as I have mainly only had the problem on the left one through the 4 surgeries. Please help me ladies. All I wanted was to be a little fuller and feel confident. Now feel like my life is over.

Still searching for Drs. that may be closer and qualified for what I need. Is there anyone out there who can recommend a dr in the virginia area, I have looked at a sight for Dr. Michael Brown. Would anyone be able to give me any input. Also does anyone have any input on Drs in Massachusetts as I have family there to travel to. Would highly appreciate your help, am about to go nuts. I haven't scheduled with Dr. Revis yet but the 6/28/2013 is the date that if I can still get would be it as still searching and scared. Thank you girls,

Sorry to hear of your disappointing surgeries. I can understand why you're feeling depressed. Have you looked at our list of doctors in VA?

You mentioned the internal bra. Here is a link from our RealSelf Doctor Q&A that briefly mentions the strattice bra used in a revision.

Keep researching and don't give up. I'm hopeful you will benefit in the long run. Keep us posted!

Today I went for a consultation with Dr.Brown in Ashburn Va for revision of BA. He said there was 5 options, remove and don't replace. Remove and just try to reshape with little lift. 3rd was to Remove and leave out for awhile and he would have it prepared for future implant. Next remove and replace with allergan smooth round over the muscle as my muscle has been shortened and only covers about 40 percent of left one and the right which I did not know isn't even under the muscle, was when this whole thing started in 1999. Plus if I replace the implant would be a smaller one, right now have 450cc. As you see girls leaves me with quite a dilemma. He could maybe get me in April 29th if go this route, and if not then May 3, or May 9th, oh also wanted to add that he feels that he could do this without any type of strattice, alli seem or others as gonna use my scar tissue. Trying to think of everything, have cried myself out and just need to hear any experiences with this dr or how any one feels that have th removes and not put back or experience with type of plant used. Thanks you girls have helped me a lot already by being here, I knows husband is going to say just remove and go to time with Mother Nature. I just want to be half happy and stop worrying, live my life
