I have a 6 year old boy which I breast fed and was wanting my old perky boobs back cause they were very much sagging and empty.

I honestly feel like I wasted my money with my procedure and don't feel like Dr. Tarik M. Husain MD whom works at Mount Sinai Hospital with Dr. Joe Garri MD, DMD in a practice names MOSA MedSpa , but they do operate at Mercy Hospital . I never came in to get any scars on PERIOD. On my initial visit I came in for a consultation for some touch up lipo and breast aug with bigger implants to avoid the lift or any scaring ( which I constantly stressed), Dr. Tarik M. Husain MD chose my size implant size, which was a 350 hp silicone implant ( take mind I'm 5'5" and 165 lbs, because he felt it was the proper one for me which were too small, and the reason he choose this one was to avoid doing any scars which obviously I have. We never discussed the size of the implant I only was able to advise him that I wanted to be a D cupcause I was a C cup. He told me I was going to be a little bit bigger than what I wanted which I was ok with being that I was trying to avoid all scars. So the day before and he day of my surgery which was June 20,2014 Dr. Tarik M. Husain MD advised me that he will try his best to avoid doing any scars, and then the next day I come in for my follow up BAM I had a full anchor lift, cool no problem I said anything to make my boobies look better I said. Then not even 2 weeks later my stitches would form puss ball and pop out one by one. When I went to Dr. Tarik M. Husain MD at MOSA MedSpa at Mount Sinai Hospital, which I would go constantly every single time that I had any little thing wrong and I was always told it's fine just put some antibiotic on it. There's was even a point that under my left boob my scar opened so much that you can see inside, when I asked if they can please close it back up they said that wasn't a good idea that it would close on its own. Now 2 months into my surgery my boobs are sagging again and now worsen than I began. Then more than ever I didn't want to get naked in front of any one and didn't even want to have sexual encounters cause I did not feel sexy anymore. I hated to look at my breast cause they were uglier than what they were before and then i was left with scared boobs. I was soo upset that my hard working money went down the drain. I paid $4,500 and it all went down the drain cause nothing is different it's actually worse. The fact that everything that was done was not what I originally asked for, that it didn't come out right, and the fact that I have to pay more money on top of that is even more upsetting. Now we are 5-6 months in and we are starting to discuss option between Dr. Tarik M. Husain MD , Dr. Joe Garri MD, DMD , and I and their conclusion was to order a special band or something to place under my breast cause my skin was too thin, this so called special band was estimated to cost about 2-3k and they say they would call the rep for mentor to have it comp'ed (which they did), and they also suggested to perform yet another breast lift procedure and to add a fuller implant. So now when they transfer me to the office manager, Casey Griffis, I'm being told that I have to pay $3900 for OR and anesthesia fees oh and let's not forget that I also have to pay for a bigger implant which they were giving me a discount price of $700 so now my repair to redo my breast is coming out to $4600 but mind you my breast were initially $4500 so I'm paying more to get them fixed. CRAZY. But even more crazy that I was going to go foward with it that I made my payment in full and something told me to wait a while so I was lucky enough that they refunded my money in full. That's when I decided to start researching and shopping around that's when I found Dr. Ary Krau MD who saved my life.

I'm sorry to hear about your experience with your first doctors. In my opinion I think they should've closed up in stitches when your incision separated. I don't understand why a doctor would say it would close on its own. That's why they do stitches. I'm so glad to hear you went with another doctor. Did Dr. Karu do your revision already or do you have an appointment scheduled?

Hi ladies yes I went through a lot with this doctor whom actually was a doctor that I confided in being that we once worked in the same facility. I used to work with a plastic surgeon in the past so I'm very experienced in how to take care of myself. I would be so patient with him cause I didn't want to loose my cool you know .. But thank god I found dr. Ary krau which I am currently exactly one week post and i am more than happy.

I went through a similar experience. I'm glad you found your new md to help you! You can read my story if you need someone to relate to. It's one of the hardest things to go through especially at a young age

ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT DR HUSAIN??? Sounds to me if I read it you were a pain in the a** patient that bothered the doctors about every little thing and I'm not saying you're fabricating stuff. Maybe that's the way you understood what was going on. I know one thing and that is Dr.Husain saved my leg and possibly my life when he operated on my compartmentalize quad injury. Most doctors won't operate on that let alone how to operate on that kind of extreme injury. Not only did he do an incredible job but continues to work with me to make the wound better. He has always returned my emails and calls. Never spoken to me in a condescending matter. And always taken time to answer all my questions... then again I don't call him everyday, several times a day. I let him do what he thought was right. Maybe you expectation were unrealistic and it's easy to be a Monday morning quarterback. Much easier for another doctor to step in like a hero he isn't because he's just touching up and not doing the repair from scratch so to speak. I am sorry for your troubles but I think some of the blame goes to the patient. Because he has only the highest reviews anywhere on the internet. And this doctor saved my leg from being amputated... and I'm still a young guy that has his whole life ahead of him and because of Dr.Husain I'm able to walk through my life on two legs.
