2 Botched surgeries from him

Tessa951August 9, 2019
$8,000

First surgery was because of a ruptured implant, but wanted my areola's smaller, was left with horrible scars all the way around my areola's and they were still the same size afterwards but just looked worse now with the scars.

Went back 2 years later to have the scars taken care of and do a full lift. Was left with even more horrible scars and 2 totally different size breast (one is a C cup and one is a D cup) very noticeable in a t-shirt or bathing suit. Now after 3 years I'm scheduled for my 4th surgery to hopefully fix the disaster that he has left me with. DEFINITELY NOT WITH HIM!!!  After dealing with about every surgeon in the tri-state area to try find another surgeon to fix everything, as soon as I told them who did the surgery they didn't seem surprised, and come to find out he is basically jut a "Glorified ENT" (face Dr.)  He is not "Board Certified" for breast surgery. He's probably fine for just basic implants but should never be performing any other type of surgery on women's breast!

Another Botched Surgery

Tessa951June 17, 2016
Well it looks like I'll be dealing with another botched surgery. And will be seeking advice from a new surgeon. It's been awhile since I've posted on here or updated my pics because I've been so upset with my results. Scars are even worse again and not even close to being perky. And now finding out that under filled implants will more than likely start to show rippling or breakdown faster makes it even worse. And to top it all off my boobs are 2 different sizes, my left is a C and my right is a D, very noticeable difference when I wear a sports bra with a T-shirt. But I refuse to go buy any nice bras right now until they match size wise, so until then it's sports bras only.

Hello dear! I know how you feel and I have the same problem. I know is many womans out there in similar situation. Is not fare , and the law should be apply to make those surgeon stop operating and distroy woman confidency. My life has become a horror movie and I just want to wake up and see something change.

I really hope you can fix it , In my case all surgeons that i have seeing so far say it will be very dificult to get mine repair.. so I am assume best choice for me is remove the implants and see how I feel as I can't handled any more deception o disapointment with those promise us a good results and doesn't deliver it.
I am sad for all the womans that as been left down by doctors and its hard for us to have a normal life after all.

All the best.

I am so sorry about your experience. I am getting ready for a revision myself due to lateral displacement. Who performed your surgery? I am from Lexington. I am considering traveling out of state this time.

Surgery #3 is complete

Tessa951March 23, 2016
Well surgery #3 is completed. Had a anchor lift with my previous implants still in, he just lowered the CC's from 350 to about 200 he said. Hopefully they will stay looking perky. Feeling pretty good. Got sick after waking up from anestesia, which I warned them I normally do, so the patch behind my ear was useless. Staying ahead of my pain with my meds and mostly sleeping. Found that it's more comfortable to sleep on the couch then trying to stay propped up in the bed. My right boob so far looks and feels normal, my left one feels very tight. Really hoping that this is the last time that I have to deal with this, I am a side and stomach sleeper and can't get comfy on my back.

Ladies, I highly recommend Dr. Bradley Hubbard in Dallas Texas. I had breast aug revision, abdominoplasty revision, and a lower body lift on 9-25-2018. I am beyond amazed at my results! Best of luck! :-)

Hi there… My breast looks just like yours before surgery. Honestly I’ve had so many breast surgeries and worked alongside doctors. It looks like the doctor needed to give you a slightly larger implant when he did your last left. My breasts were like yours after and they ended up not perky after a couple years. I wear a bra all the time toI. It’s just our type of skin. Ugh When I had them lifted with a little bit larger implant then I had they looked awesome. You look great! I hope they stay perky.
