Breast implant illness
$10,000
So I been going through a lot since my implants were put in. Slowly after I started to have bathroom issues. Diarrhea on a regular basis. Thinking it was my food I tried to eat healthier. Still having stomach issues. I went completely dairy free. Still issues then both dairy and gluten free. Still issues I went Vegan and still am and yet still issues. I just felt with it. Then it got to a point water was going right through me. Any food goes through me. I started eating only 1 jar of baby food a day because I started have other symptoms leaving me unable to handle anything put in my body. Here are my symptoms. Multiple fevers in a day, shakes, blurred vision, diarrhea, vomiting, menstrual issues. I feel like I'm not even in my body. I feel like I'm slowly dying and no doctor can help. The doctors I seen hematologist, rheumatologist, endocrinologist, gastroenterologist, I seen a few different of each to get opinions. I am now being sent to a geneticist. Also I ended up in the emergency room a lot. All my test comes back perfect. I had a couple surgeries to see in they can go in and find anything and nothing is found. I just started realizing it could be from my implants even though I don't have a leak. Doctors say no but I'm sure of it now. I started to have some consultations to remove them. I want my life back. I miss spending days with my 3 kids. I'm afraid I might die some days because it gets so bad. Ladies just really do your research before getting implants Breast Implant Illness is a real thing.

1 year pictures
So I reached one year just showing some pics so you can see why I'm so unhappy. My left side this car is very red wide and thick also my nipple is shaped weird. I really hate the way things look really hoping I can find another doctor who can give me the size I want and also do something with this left nipple. So I'm still considering going to Miami for my second time. I hate to be so far but it really seems like from reviewing so many doctors all the pictures or what I'm looking for in Miami that's what I like. But I'm still going to go on some consultations here in New York. We will see.

I'm going to Florida to get my lift and implant with dr shuster in Hollywood Florida ! He has stellar credentials and a 3 layer sew technique that leaves scars invisible ! I'm paying 8800 for lift and silicone implant .

I called so many places in south Florida !!! A lot of them not so great reviews and a lot do not do surgeries in hospital more like surgical rooms in their offices . Dr messa was one in Weston Florida with also great creditnals I didn't go to him Bc he was a bit further then Where my mom lives . I spoke to patients of dr messa and dr shuster and all recommended them all had great results and both offices and were so nice out all the places I called . Good luck

Thanks so much! Im so nervous to travel so far excpcily because this will be my second surgery. I really want to find a great doctor. The messed up part is I did my research before I got these implants. I just feel like my doctors version of what she likes and what I like or two different things. Also now my scares are so bad. To spend this money all over again kills me. Ugh!!!

That has to suck ! To spend the money and to go through surgery again ! Just be careful in Florida there's tons of drs who do this a million times a day dosent mean they are good ! I've researched a lot and if you want someone to fix u and do it right . I would have a skype consult with dr shuster his coordinator nicole is so nice has answered all my questions without even booking surgery ! He's a legit 3rd generation plastic surgeon he's more money then others Bc he's experienced and worth it . I rather pay bit more and know it's gonna be done right .

Try Dr. Mark Epstein. That's who I went with. Very honest, I think it may be worth a consul.

Ok thanks. I ask because I did call that doctors office 1 year ago. The lady that picked up told me he only does gummy bear. So I didn't meat with him. I thought that was weird. But I originally wanted to go to him.

Hi! Did you ever go through with a revision surgery? I was reading your review and wondering if you still need referrals

Considering doing it all over again
Im coming up on a year, this entire year I have had nothing but regret I hate everything about my implant mostly because I got the lift. I originally wanted high-profile the doctor talked me out of that because she said it my profiles look terrible. I picked my doctor because she sounded like she knew what she was talking about and she made me feel comfortable. I wanted to go bigger originally but she said due to my lift I couldn't go any bigger. Now it's time for me too start looking I want a high profile not sure what size I want but I want bigger than I am. Im 350 cc right now. When I look at these pictures my breasts to look huge. But in person they don't look as good as they look in the picture. Many of my friends and family have wondered why I paided so much money to go so small. Hearing that dont make me feel any better. I live in New York it's very expensive here I'm considering going out of state for the second time. I'm not in a rush to get them done going to do my research and meet with a lot more doctors this time. I want them done by next year at least. I hope I get what I want this time around.

Hi!!! Im so sorry that you are not happy with your results. You will get what you want this time. Im sure you will be firm with your doctor about what you want....and your doctor should be on the same page with you. Im 2 months post op. I had my surgery in my home state of California. However,,,I hear Florida is basically the capital of breast surgery. :) I don't know if its true or not...but lots of women go down there. Maybe you could research doctors there. Im sure you can go bigger than 350CC'S,,,and look fabulous!!! I have 520CC silicone. I had a full anchor lift. Im 5'6", and about 126lbs. No children. When you pay that kind of cash,,,,,you deserve to be happy!!! Please keep posting. I hope you find a great doctor!!
