I Had a Horrible Experience. Biggest Regret.

melikex
I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Rosen early in May which at first I was happy with my results. About three months after I had realized that my implants bottomed out. They looked absolutely insane. After doing some research online i was informed the reason behind this was the implant being too large for the tissue/body. When i had went to my consult with Dr.Rosen I specifically had told him I wanted natural breasts something to fit my petite frame, at the time i was an A cup looking to be a C cup. We had discussed and agreed on 350-375ccs. When i woke up from my surgery I was 385cc. (something i never agreed on). Now sizing a DD cup. I went back to his office in August, talked to him about my concerns. He explained to me exactly what had happened ( the implant bottoming out) and told me to schedule a surgery date for revision. He had told me the surgery was going to be a minor procedure and it would take about 30 minutes and the recovery time would be the exact same as the first one he had also mentioned the revision would not cost me and that it was covered by his office . A week before my second surgery i went it for a pre opp appointment and at the end of my appointment they asked me to pay almost 3k for the revision after telling me there was going to be no charge. They also made me pay for my garments,vitamins, scar cream etc. again. Not to mention when i asked them if i could use the cost i paid for my consultation towards my surgery they denied me. ( most places either have free consultations or let you credit your consult money towards surgery. ) Heres my issue. Dr. Rosen charges almost 12k for a breast augmentation but NOTHING is included. If you search the NJ/NY area. Your average breast aug ranges from about 5k-8k. I went with Dr. Rosen because I wanted to make sure I was getting the best of the best, after all it is your body. I ended up spending a lot more money after on top of the cost of the surgery itself. After my second surgery i had to buy a 120 special garment bra. I personally think that if you're spending that much everything should be included. Anyway, I woke up after my second procedure in a lot more pain then I expected to be in. The surgery also took two and a half hours when he said it was a minor procedure that was going to take 30 mintues. Five days go by I'm still in a lot of pain. Two weeks later I'm still in pain. My recovery was a lot more painful the second time around which i wasn't expecting because he told me it was going to be an easy recovery. However I'm still not happy with my breasts. They're way too big for my body and I'm extremely upset that i spent this much time and money to be UNHAPPY with my breasts and my body. I definitely wish I did my research and went to other doctors for consultations because coming here will always be a very big regret of mine.

the picture in the hot pink is the picture i showed Dr. Rosen at my consult. My inspiration. Exactly what i wanted my breasts to look like. The next picture is me in the black dress before my breast augmentation. The last picture is me in a black tanktop after my breast augmentation.

You agreed on 350-375 and he gave you 10 Ccs more? That’s nothing. In fact, 50 Ccs is like a tablespoon

Updating my review from 2018. After my breast augmentation with Dr. Rosen I've had 3 corrective surgeries and have spent over $35,000 trying to fix what he did to me. I've had a total of 4 breast augmentations which as a young 21 year old is traumatizing. As you can see in the photos the implant was placed incorrectly, completely out of the breast pocket. My implants were borderline in my armpits and in my stomach. This caused so much pain and scar tissue over the last 4 years. My best friend who also had a breast augmentation with Dr.Rosen a week after me went through the same exact thing having to get multiple corrective surgeries. There is two more victims who spoke out after i left my first review. When i had spoken to Dr. Rosen about how unpleased, unhappy, and traumatized he left me, his response was - "You really need to smile more and be grateful." Please be aware of him and his practice ladies! There's so many kind, professional, and empathetic doctors out there. Do your research and don't make the same mistake i did. Stay safe!

I’m so sorry for your experience.

Aghast at the misogyny of the doctor.

Have you contacted the BBB and your Attourney General? Consumers have rights and business have an obligation to resolve them. Filing complaints is super easy. Just Google the websites.

I’ve done it multiple times with 100% success rate.

Çok üzgünüm. Belki de bir daha Dr.Revis gibi daha taninan isimlerle calissan iyi olur
