36 2 Kids Breast Fed Both for 2 Years. Removing 14 Year Old Saline Implants and Upgrading to Silicone.

I am extremely sad to say my results are not what I expected, not at all what the doctor said he could do. Friday the 23rd will be 2 weeks out. I was hoping and had asked Dr. Alvarez to fix the size difference between my breasts. Instead he put in the exact same size implant on both sides, so I’m very unsymmetrical. Also, he didn’t touch the pocket so they are even more droopy. The doctor spent 30 minutes total with me in surgery. He did nothing but cut out the old implants and shove in new ones. I went larger, 650cc, but you can’t tell at all. My old bras fit the same. I questioned if the doctor even switched the implant at all. My right breast is having issues also. It is flat on bottom, almost square. I can feel the implant bunched up like it’s just been shoved in. The inside and outside edge have a point where the implant sticks out. It has one spot that it feels like the implant is sewn into the scar. I saw a local plastic surgeon and he was blown away at what a poor job Mia Aesthetics did. He said it was the worst revision he had ever seen. I have sent messages to Mia, I’m hoping they will make this right. I spent $2800 on the surgery plus travel, Meds, labs, all just to have the same breast issues I had before. I have cried, regretting my decision, every day since surgery.

I had my original implants done in 2004 by Dr. Jed Bindrup in Utah. At that time I was a 32 AA. I had one daughter and had nurses her for 2 years. At the time silicone implants were not available so I went with saline. I had them put under the muscle, 450cc implants filled to 490cc’s. That took me to a large C small D. One has always been larger than the other and they were never really the size I wanted, I wanted larger. 3 years after getting them I had another child, I was still able to nurse her for 2 years. With breast feeding and the implants my boobs got enormous. My skin stretched quite badly, leaving my breasts saggy and the skin was so lose the rippling was terrible. I knew I would need to have my implants replaced someday and did get a consult with Dr. Bindrup to see about getting them redone. It was going to cost $7000to get them done so I just kept putting it off. Then in December of 2017 I saw a Facebook ad for Mia Aesthetics and Dr Alvarez. The ad quoted silicone breast implants for $2800!!! That was a price I could not pass up. He had a 4.7 star rating so I figured it was worth looking into. I filled out the online consultation form and sent pics. They contacted me a couple days later and gave me all the information I needed. A week later I sent in my deposit and booked my appointment for March 9th. I am flying to Miami from Colorado the day before surgery for my pre-op appointment. I am staying with my aunt who is traveling with me at an Airbnb. I am planning of going from my 490 cc’s to 650-700 cc’s. My current implants are saline round (vintage lol) and I have no clue what profile. I want silicone high profiles. Dr Alvarez did seem to think I needed a lift based on the pictures I sent in. I am really hoping I do not end up with droopy giant boobs. I want them back up high and perky. I am a bit concerned because I had 2 women contact me on Facebook regarding Mia aesthetics. They both had procedures done there and said it’s a chop shop, they take zero time with patients, you do not meet Dr Alvarez at your pre op , he only comes in right before surgery. They also mentioned it being dirty and that they were rushed out after surgery with no after care instructions. Most of the reviews say how please patients are but these two women said the doctors bribe patients with free stuff for 5 star ratings. These ladies have me freaked out. I have already purchased my Airbnb, plane tickets & paid my deposit so I don’t know what to do. Any women who have feedback on Mia and Dr Alvarez would be greatly appreciated. I have had all my labs done and my letter of clearance sent. Please beware of the before pictures. I’m not exaggerating when I say I have major ripples. I can literally feel the implant lining, I can pinch it between my fingers. I am a personal trainer and fitness instructor so I have a pretty muscular body. I am worried my chest muscles will make it difficult to fit a larger implant. Is 700 cc’s too much for someone super active? How long will I not be able to workout, it’s literally my job so I have to get back to work ASAP. I will post updates next week after pre op and after the new boobies. 9 days and counting!!!!
