revision needed

I went in for a follow up visit with my PS today. He's happy with the implants but not happy with the breast lift aspect so I will be needing a revision to take some extra skin off the bottom so I can have the look I initially wanted. I have some mixed emotions but happy that I finally saw him and know what needs to be done. I will be updating the price to reflect the amount that I will have to pay for the revision which is $1,000 for anesthesia and OR room costs (the PS isn't charging anything). I haven't scheduled the date yet but will be doing so soon.

what is wrong with the way they look? I thought they look nice! This is scary because I am already scheduled with him for May 7th..:( Did you do a consultation with him prior to the surgery day?

The left one looks really saggy still and too much bottom fullness on both and not enough top fullness. I am hoping the removal of extra skin gives me a nice round look instead of square. I had several consultations prior to my surgery. . I don't know what went wrong honestly. . What are you getting done?

Hey Dee. . Funny mine is the same way.. i do have top fullness but they look bottomed out. Football like.. i wish i would have gotten a reduction and bigger implants to accommodate. Grrrr

I hear you! It's frustrating. You go in thinking that it's a one time thing and then you'll be good and it will be all worth it.. but sometimes it doesn't work that way. Maybe bigger implants are in my future but for now all I want is to correct what was done. Good luck to you!

It totally sucks we didn't get the results we wanted the first time around. . But I'm remaining optimistic. Are you going to get a revision with your original PS? Good luck on your move to Florida! I live in Miami and the weather is lovely (most of the time) :).

Definitely! It's a complicated surgery and requires exact precision. Even then the surgeon can't begin to guess how your body is going to heal and what the end result will be. I really like Dr . Ortega. He's done work on a couple of family members and they look amazing. It's just my luck that I'm the one that needs a revision lol... good luck!

No they had different stuff done. My mom had a tummy tuck and my aunt had a bbl. Looking forward to seeing your results! I am probably going in for revision at the beginning of May

So sorry about your results. I had a BA with Dr Ortega 3 weeks ago and I'm not happy just yet but hopefully in time I will be. I can't believe your boobs haven't dropped in so long that's so strange! I got 300cc HP saline they're bigger than I wanted at the moment and I don't have any under pole but they have been dropping not as fast as I want of course. Good luck on your journey post photos!

I'm so sorry you're not happy with your results. Hopefully your physician will work with you to get the implant where it should be. Good luck

It's been a while since I've updated but sadly there hasn't been any change. I am not happy with my results and will be looking into getting a revision within the next few months. I am sad that my outcome wasn't what I had hoped for. I feel like I flushed $4,000 down the drain. My breasts are still really high and oddly shaped with no cleavage whatsoever. Noone can even tell I had a boob job done. I haven't been to see the ps in almost two months but will be going to see him early January to see where we can go from here.
