Breast lift with implants mastopexy Horrible experience
UPDATED FROM mooretime
Update (pics) not pleased with Peter Raphael
mooretimeApril 24, 2018
I started having strange symptoms, autoimmune problems, hairloss. My left breast was always hot. I got my implants taken out a few days ago by another surgeon. My left silicone Mentor implant had ruptured. I thought the new implants were safe(er). They’re not.
I’m happy they are out but was scared of what my breasts would look like after. I had dd breasts before. I have a C now and I’m 20lbs heavier than I was. Dr Raphael performed a mastopexy/lift when he put my implants in. I originally had large Areolas, and I loved them. I asked him specifically not to cut them small in the mastopexy. He said he’d only cut them down a little bit. His exact words. I was very explicit about this....And he agreed. My Areola is so small....when my nipple is erect I have no Areola. It didn’t look horrible with a big implant in, the implant stretched it out.
But now with no implant.... I’m just..... shaking my head. At post op, I asked him why he did that. He said He always cut them that small. I have a big nipple, I didn’t want it, it’s really not proportionate and my Areola has a sexual function on top of that.... I cried hysterically at my post op appointments. He said he cuts them all to 36mm, but he cut mine to 38mm. Mine are 35mm. That’s the size you’d cut it to if you were removing breast from a transgendered person. It’s suitable for a male. The smallest standard size for women is 38mm. A reasonable size for him to cut them down would have been a 40-42, considering I said don’t cut them down!! He said well what’s done is done. He didn’t give me a chance to say “no” you’re not my doctor. I have two breast two diff sizes. No Areola, it seems he liposuctioned my breast so I have fat chunks missing. I will not get another implant. I developed very bad autoimmune disorders and have researched Breast Implant illness. I’m praying my health improves. I’m thinking about possibly fat transfer to my breast but I need to know more about it and find a doctor I implicitly trust. I’m in no hurry. I would not advise anyone to do surgery with Peter Raphael. I did two other procedures at the same time of my implants with him also and had very bad results, and again he didn’t do anything close to what I asked.

Uneven breast lift with implants. (Picture)

I’m going to get the implants removed. See what tissue I have left. Revise the lift. 80 percent of the consults I’ve been to, to try to fix this.... have said it’s an acceptable result. 10 percent say they can’t fix it. If it’s acceptable to you.....

Dr Raphael botched my boobs

I left it up to Dr raphael to choose the implant size that suited me. I needed a lift and maybe a reduction but I don’t know what he did exactly. The implants I have 455cc uhp. They are quite narrow for my chest width. One breast is narrow while the other isn’t. He took fat somehow out of my boob so its narrow and doesn’t sit on my chest right. I wouldn’t have chose an implant that big. I had at least D’s to start with. A narrow uhp implant sits on my chest like a ball.
