Revision 19yo saline overs to silicone unders

6 months post revision. Issues getting worse. Left breast crosses midline with any pressure to outside of breast. I cannot wear any bras that push breasts together otherwise they lose any separation in cleavage. I traced the left breast and took pictures. You can see how much the boobs crosses over. Animation is worse and pec muscle on left side aches constantly. My issues after surgery with Krau are so much worse then I ever had with my 19 yo subglandular saline implants. I regret doing surgery with him. He has not responded to my emails and has offered no follow up care. Nothing! Further I found lumps in both breasts - worse on right. I emailed him a couple of times asking what to do and he did not respond. I went to primary care doctor who ordered ultrasound. The radiologist could not explain the lumps and advised to discuss with PS since only he knows what he did! I have tried but nothing! No response. If this does not demonstrate a complete lack of professionalism and duty of care then I don't know what does! Girls please don't just look at all his good reviews like I did. If there are ongoing problems you are on your own and likely need to find another surgeon and spend a lot of money (I was quoted $16-17k with no guarantees) to fix it! I feel so violated and upset with myself for not just being happy with the minor issues I had before. Don't believe a doctor when he says you will look awesome yet he did not even spend a few minutes marking me before the surgery because i quote, "I do a lot of these, I know what I am doing" . Had he spent the time taking measurements and marking me up maybe he would not have influenced me to put in a larger implant then appropriate for my body, and would not have had to over dissect my muscle to fit the implant! I trusted him because of all the good reviews. My advice to anyone considering surgery with Krau - don't do it!

So sad that my doctor is either too busy to respond or is ignoring my requests for information on what can be done to fix the issues that were created in surgeries with him. I have been professional albeit a little upset in my correspondence and I feel completely dismissed. I really thought going to one of the best PS in the US would improve my look. Instead I feel disfigured and have to tape my breasts apart to maintain any separation. I thought going behind the muscle maintains some gap in cleavage? I am not sure if I have symmastia but if I push my breasts together the implants cross over the sternum, and the skin raises or tents off my chest with no gap. If anyone has recommendations for doctors who fix these problems and care about their patient's outcomes please pass them along. I continue to see awesome results on this site and I have faith that my issues can be fixed!

I am now 10 weeks post second and third revisions to address muscle animation deformity and bottoming out, and downsize from 500 to 400 cc. I think the bottoming out procedure has been effective but muscle animation deformity on left breast has worsened. It does not appear this issue was addressed at all despite discussing it with my PS. It all started with my first revision surgery. I knew something was wrong when I saw my breasts the day after. My breasts were so low and wide, not the high look I expected when implants placed under the muscle. There was something wrong with my left side. There with so much swelling medially and it appeared that my left cleavage was compromised. As I healed my left breast crossed midline of sternum, and I felt a 1-inch lump on the left side of my sternum. Although not symmastia something was wrong. I had no space between my breasts when pushed together. I thought this odd since I always had a gap with my first augmentation which was above the muscle. I thought breast augmentation under the muscle retains the natural gap due to implant being under the muscle which is attached to the sternum. From the beginning I felt the muscle either ruptured or was over released during surgery when doctor tried to place 500 cc implant. I discussed this with my PS and he said that the muscle was still attached to the sternum, and that the lump was due to my first surgery (which is untrue since I didn't have it before first revision surgery). He also said that my pectoral muscles are so strong and the muscle animation deformity would have been much worse if gala flex wasn't used. I am right handed so my right pectoral muscle would be stronger. This issue is on my left breast.

I can tell you that I regret having the revision surgery as I went from ok to way worse. I gave my PS $10,000 and spent another $3000 on flights and accommodation. I can cope with the money spent, but the physical and emotional trauma is much worse. I have spent 6 months of my life in recovery thus far, which is challenging for someone who is active and took yoga 5 times per week. My left pectoral muscle aches constantly and any flexion creates this unsightly deformity. I have followed doctors post surgery instructions perfectly. I have not worked out at all and been mindful of not using my chest muscles. I am so disheartened. I researched revision surgery for years and believed I found the best surgeon. I have not heard from my PS since the revision surgeries on June 9th and 13th. No follow up whatsoever. I decided to wait to email him to see if things settled over time. I will send him an email with photos and ask what can be done to fix it. I also posted a question to doctors on this site asking the same.
