I had a breast lift and implants 10 years ago. They were too large so went back 6 months later and had reduced a little. 6 years ago my left implant started to pull up my middle sternum skin. i went in they put mesh to correct, however just a few years it happen again. I went in a few days ago (march 27,2013) when he unwrapped the dressing the implant was the same way to close to the sternum and left the other side of the breast empty. he told me this would to correct to get a hard wire bra that came up high in the center. I went and bought one. I just feel we are doing the same thing we have been doing..please look at my pictures and give me your opinion. Will this something I always have or is he not doing what needs to be done. Not sure why I have to continue to pay all this money and come out with the same. I just want once in my life to be able to wear a braor bikini and cleavage be normal. when I have a bra or top on they look deformed. PLEASE HELP

Once you have had a breast surgery here another doctor does not want to see you. I have tried to schedule a consultation and once you say already have work done, they say they aren't taking new patients

Hum very interesting; why don't you post you pics and ask your question to the differs here; I'm sure they can give u some helpful advice; I had revision surgery about 2 weeks ago because I was unhappy with my previous results my past docter gave me; I posted a question here on this site and I got responses from several of the differs here; I choose one off the dodgers here to do nh revision surgery. I traveled out of state to him: he gave me beautiful results. I'm now 3 weeks out from my surgery. The Docter's name is Dr.Schreider!

That is awesome! Nothing like knowing you got what you wanted ! I'm very new to the site. Is posting this how I have it correct? To get opinions? Or do I need to post in another way. I uploaded my photos with my post. Let me know how to do it if you don't mind. Or what I'm doing wrong. Can you see the photos? I just opened my thong bra. Hoping it will help. Thank you so much for your time

Well my left will not move over. Nipple in wrong place. Sternum hurts. Have no implant on the left side of the left side of breast. It's all on one side of that one breast. I'm not really happy with the right side it already sags a little. It's very frustrating to want just 1-2 normal!! Be honest I am straight forward person. Can you not see what I'm talking about? All mentioned above + the cleavage

I can see what your talking about; one breast does look fuller than the other; are you going to get another revision done? I had my breast done several times because my ps just couldn't get it right; I searched for another docter that does revision surgery; I found my docter on here; I went out of state to have my surgery done; how many revisions have you had so for?

This will be the third ! I learned to live it the last time. He called in another doctor to help him on last revision. I'm about ready to do what you did. Only I have paid a LOT of money not counting the pain. So we shall see. Thanks for your concern. Very nice :)

Hello there. If you are still not happy with your results and looking for a PS who specializes in revision work, I'd highly recommend Dr. Patronella. He is an amazing PS right here in Houston and did a phenomenal job with my revisionary work.

I have had several medical conditions where I have spent a lot of time in the hospital on and off for about three years. ( had gained 150 pounds of edema in 8 months from steroids, and lost that edema in eight months) that absolutely tore my body apart! I had no hope just about. I had no hope that I would ever have breast that even look close to normal. I knew I could get the bottom half back ( below the breast) but not the top. When I finally was well, and had the energy to go through a Plastic surgery I wanted the best. I had already had a very well known surgeon in my area almost booked!!! lol 

I had two family members find out I was about to have something done, and they said absolutely not without talking to Dr. Steely!! I said no !! I’m too far advanced with the other doctor, and I feel very comfortable with him. After they sent me pictures and then I seen his work in person, let’s just say I changed my mind immediately, ( you could hardly see their scars) and had a upper body lift , a complete breast reconstruction and lift, and high-performance 600 mL silicone implants! I had Surgery on December 5, 2018.
