Not the Greatest Experience

My review on GalaFlex is still the same. I would have saved the added cost and just gotten a lift. I don’t believe the use of this mesh makes much of a difference in my situation. Also, for me the mesh causes a bit of discomfort. Dr Pollock said if needed we can do a small revision at a year mark which is a huge relief to know my breast will look better. He explained my skin has no elasticity and it has stretched again. No fault to anyone other than genetics.
I spoke to Dr Pollock regarding staff concerns and he was very proactive about my concerns. All issues have been handled very professionally.
Now I will update on my tummy, flank and back lipo. At 4 weeks post op I thought I was botched. My tummy had dimples, ripples, and my belly button was crooked. I saw Dr Pollock and he explained I was still very swollen. I honestly thought how can my belly button be crooked due to swelling. Well it was definitely crooked due to swelling. I wish I would have been more patient with my body’s healing. I should have trusted Dr Pollock’s word a bit more instead of spending so much time worried about my results. At 14weeks post op my body has changed soooooooo much. Although I may need a few minor adjustments for my liking I am amazed with my results. Advice to others going to have cosmetic surgery is to be patient and trust your doctor.

I may change my review with time, but at this moment I can only give him 3 stars if I am being completely honest. I had an extended Tummy Tuck, Breastlift with Internal Bra, and lipo on flanks and back. I will go over the issues that I have had first. My tummy and flanks are very uneven due to what appears to be uneven liposuction. My back seems nearly untouched with liposuction. Although there was a change in my back the majority of that change was due to the extended tummy tuck. Then my breast lift issues. My nipples are more like long ovals. I was up sold on GalaFlex also known as internal bra with my lift for an additional $2000. This GalaFlex was supposed to hold my breast up and give the appearance of implants. It looked amazing at first then by 4 weeks post op my breast lost all upper pole fullness. I don’t believe the GalaFlex is worth the added cost at all. I was also quiet disappointed with the staff. I was over charged $1000.00 and when I brought it up they had “misplaced” a receipt. I was on the phone over 30 minutes trying to prove that I was overcharged. Also, at my post op appt Kim came into the room to remove the few sutures I had. During small talk she was talking about the “big” patient in the room next to me. I was very disappointed and uncomfortable because I felt that she would speak of me the same way. Dr Pollock was referred to me by several friends. Most of which had implants or simple tummy tucks. So out of all my friends I had the most work done. I must say that overall I have been very disappointed. I have mentioned my concerns regarding my procedures and I was told that we can look at the issues in 4-6 months. Hoping he is understanding of my concerns.
