I developed capsular contracture (I noticed 3 months post-op but PS told me "no" and said to take the wires out of my bra and come back 6 months later. I came back with grade 4. Same surgeon performed Capsulectomy and I have 2nd CC. I now have to see specialist. Biggest mistake of my life. RESEARCH!

That's horrible he did that to you twice!!!!!!!! Same implant?! Why didn't he use new ones?!?

I don't know- because he really just didn't care and he also uses techniques from the 90's even down to his incisions. I wish I would have researched him more before I went through with surgery and wish I never let him perform on me a second time. His carelessness robbed me of confidence from ages 25-28 and I'm still struggling now.

I'm wishing you the very best. I have had implants almost 2 yrs and was the biggest mistake I've ever made. I thought I was improving what I had and turned out to be a nightmare. I will be explanting with a lift- implants definitely do not work for everyone! I wish I had found this site before my surgery.

I am so sorry you are dealing with this. I am shocked he would put the same implant back in. Was that agreed to in advance? I am also wondering what you mean by techniques from the 90s. What was the red flag?

Unfortunately, capsular contracture can happen to any patient no matter who was their surgeon. This is something that is a know risk of breast augmentation and you were made aware of it prior to surgery in your consent. After you developed a capsular contracture, I performed a capsulotomy for you which is also within the standard of care. Unfortunately, you again developed capsular contracture which can happy. I am saddened to see that you developed capsular contracture but any expert can tell you that this is a know risk, and my treatment of you was within the standard of care.

I have to spend 10,000.00 to see a specialist now. Are you willing to refund me any amount of money for the capsulectomy you performed and placed the same implant back into my chest? Your technique WAS outdated and not helpful to my body or my specific case and I did pay you cash. The consideration of a refund for SECOND surgery with you would be quite the kind gesture on your part, if you actually do feel that bad.

I was looking at this doctor for BBL until I pulled his medical background, I even had a consultation and I just ditched it ... he also had a lot of bad reviews
