How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Still Haunted
I was 17 when I decided to get an augmentation - one breast was a B and one was a big C and I wanted them to match. I wasn’t interested in implants so I wanted to get the larger one reduced, but Dr Lovass talked me into an implant on the smaller side. He said I’d regret it some day if I went the other way. I explained to him I’ve never wanted big boobs and I feel I’d be happier with one reduced. I didn’t want an implant but he suggested it was the best way to go.
The surgery went like this: small incision on left breast and implant. Completely remove nipple on right and replace it higher on breast in hopes for nipples to line up.
After the surgery, I was still very unhappy. I felt my scarring on the larger breast (L) was horrible and it made my nipple look huge in comparison to the other. And I felt they still weren’t very close to the same size.
When I went back in to tell him my concerns, he first said I couldn’t expect them to match perfectly (which I wasn’t expecting that but was hoping for something closer) the scarring would eventually fade and that if I wanted them closer to the same size he suggested I lose weight. WHAT THE HELL KIND OF DOCTOR TELLS A 150LB 17 YEAR OLD TO LOSE WEIGHT?!? (I secretly struggled with bulimia at the time and was on the mend, but totally fell back into it after that until I was in my early 20s.) I left in tears and felt helpless and have seen other surgeons to correct the issue but haven’t found one I trust to better my scarring yet..emotional and physical. I’m terrified to go through that again. AND I STILL PREFER THE SMALLER BOOB...
I’m now 33, my implant has since deflated so my breasts are back to their lopsided selves but now I have stretch marks (that I got after the surgery) and a scarred nipple that looks way bigger than it should.
This experience has haunted me ever since. I have never been comfortable with my breasts and fear I never will be.
GO WITH YOUR GUT and don’t ever let anyone tell you what you want with your own body is wrong. Please do your research. There are always other options.
