This Will Be my 4th Surgery.
ORIGINAL POST
Hello, I'm having another revision on my breasts,...
WORTH IT$10,500
Hello, I'm having another revision on my breasts, this will be my 4th surgery.
My 1st surgery was 11 years ago and my boobs healed too high, with a capsular contracture on my left side. Then I had my 2nd surgery with a local doctor, saline 350's and I kept them for 10 years, but they were too small and wide on my chest.
My 3rd surgery was 9 months ago and I got Sientra HP 495's. I used the same doctor, not knowing any better, so while bigger, they look just like the old ones. I think he just used the old pockets and now my left boob falls into my armpit, when lying on my back.
I'm scheduled to have my surgery with Dr. Revis, hopefully this will be my last one.

Hoping this surgery will be the one to get you the breasts you've been wanting all along. Do you know if you'll go with Sientra implants again? Feel free to join a forum of members also awaiting their April 2015 breast implant revision surgery. Also, you can put your doctors name in your review...or I can do it for you. Let me know. Please keep us posted!

Omgosh I'm so sorry this happened to me about 6 months ago. After having my first ones in for 14 yrs. I went to see dr. Korenger at KU! And I was told I was going to have to have two sugerys one to replace the new implants and the second for the Breast lift! I was happy with them until I noticed this huge knot in my Breast.. and Both were 12,000 dollars!! And they were snotty and there staff was disrespectful im very shy still at the age of 45, and never really say much! But I did however put my faith into this doctor! My boyfriend saved up for me and he knew I needed them taken out because of the mammograms that I was having weren't showing anything but implant be shed my first doctor put them over the muscle! But when I went into see him he suggested seientra the shaped tear drop natural looking ones! And I wanted then to be high and pretty I mean for 12,000 grand.. I thought they should look like the movie stars but not to big so I left that to him and told him I wanted the round ones! Instead after horrible service and not listening to me! I had the implants put in and as soon ad I did I knew something was wrong! But I told my boyfriend and it started lots of fights and the thing that hurt Id I knew I was right! And he's the chairman of plastic Sugery so I thought I wac getting the best doctor possible and had just won the boob lottery! But they were saggy and so droopy they looked horrible the ones I had taken out were round so i knew the difference! But after crying and crying and trying not to fight my boyfriend looked at the seintra card and they said it!!! They were the shaped natraul ones and I was so upset! So we went to the doctor and we told him that they were the wrong ones! He said no they weren't but what il do is give you a eternal bra lift! I did research and key alone just the eternal bra was 12,000!!! And he said I could show him were I wanted my nipples and that he would make them look nice and tight and my nipple would be high and the lift would make them firm and young looking again! So the second Sugery everything was fine until I had this pain and this huge lump form and my daughter which are adults. told me mom you have to get that checked out he did you wrong! So I went to him and thinking he was going to be nice and fix it for me he said straight to my faces, well unfortunately there's nothing I can do that's just hoe your skin is! What!!!! I was so sad and cried when I left and this thing was huge and was showing like yours but worse! It hurt To! So I told him i wax going to sue him and called the hospital and they said they wouldn't do anything about it on the February 27th and then after calling and asking for a second opinion then they had one of his surgans look at me! She was very sarcastic and knew I wax intimidated and the door was shut, she said well il put them in as a favor to the doctor but I won't fix your nipple which he said he sound fix because one was larger then the other. And she said but if I do it I won't fix the nipple! Now seientra implants are only coverd for a year! And then she said or dr. Korentager said he'd fix the nipples and do the Sugery! After they wrote me saying they wiukdbg not until they seen the huge knot which she said was the implant and the Breast tissue forming together and rubbing against the tissue and making the implant move! So now this Thursday im going to the 12th of this month and he's going to tell me when he is going to do the revisionery Sugery over again! And then told me to bring the numbers and the implants shaped and sizes I want! So I feel for you and I'm sorry! This happen to you too! And I'm a lityle scared to be honest! Because he's do booked that that's what I think happens is he just hurrys up and then sends me in my way and the next one comes! And he did a half ass job on me to be frank so I hope he won't make me look worse or anything happen again! This has broken yo my relationship with my boyfriend and he can't stand ti hear about it and says its a nightmare! But im the one that has to go through all of this and he's bit supportive at all! I've read about dr. Reeves he supposed to be a great doctor if they'd give he my money Id go to him forsure! But they said they wouldn't give me a dime of my money back! But il pray for you and I wish you the best of luck and hope you will be happy! This will be my fourth too and I'm scared because of resentment! So please pray for me it wish me luck also please! I know dr. Reeves will make you look beautiful I called his office and he's one of best Surgans around I heard! I just wish I'd found him before putting me faith into a doctor who had no empathy or care in the world for my pain and stress he's caused me in my life! So good luck sweetie if I misspelled anything I apoligize! I wish you peace love and happiness!

Oh, and when the door was shut and I called the patients relations woman, and I talking to her about what the surgan said about the lump, I told her that she was sarcastic and she said " well I didn't think she was being sarcastic I thought she was really nice!! I said to Her " Mamm how would you know the door was shut!" She said back well I was listening threw the door!!" I told her have you ever heard of the Hippa law!! And then she changed her tone of her voice to me! I told her that i thought they were very unprofessional and creepin around listening to others people business is not good service especially in a hospital! Were the patients are supposed to trust there staff! I couldn't believe it! So I don't know what in going to to do it what to pick im scared and lonely and my boyfriend just doesn't care at all! And told me it was my fault that this happen! I'm depressed and I jace no Idea who to ask or what to do first! But I wanted you to know that about Her sneaking around! So if your ever at KU Id be careful and maybe try st. Lukes I worked there and they were really good doctors! Good luck sweetie! Lesa

Wow, that is a nightmare and I know exactly what you mean about the doctor brushing you off.
The problems with my breasts, that you see in my photos are much worse in person, I just can't seem to capture it on film.
When I showed it to my original surgeon, which I won't name right now, he said that it was completely acceptable! My husband wanted to knock him out, so I just grabbed him and left.
Since then and after 9 months, to let everything heal, I've gone to 3 consultations, Dr Krau, Dr. Revis and Dr. Kim and my husband has decided on Dr. Kim. Don't get me wrong though, Dr. Revis and Dr. Krau were great, I especially liked Dr. Krau, he seems like such a perfectionist and a truly nice man, but in the end, my husband said Dr. Kim. I hope he's right.
Oh yeah, when I went to see the other surgeons, I never had to tell them why I wanted a revision, they noticed the problems immediately and told me that they were completely unacceptable and one of them said that my original surgeon was unskilled and lazy. I'm not going to say which one though, for obvious reasons...
Anyway, good luck to you and thank you for contacting me.:)

Thank you and I respect your noting wanton the metro the name I dint need to know, I live in Kansas City missouri! And went to KU! And had to sand problem I go tomorrow and I've Jeff so nervous and sick.. Just wondering what shape and size to get and then fighting with my ex ivd this isn't fun! He Blaked me for the lump and for all the trouble this doctors had caused me and my family! I'm not trouble and I never take up for myself at all! And useually let things go! But after paying 12,000 dollars and getting the two sugerys I don't indersuand this doctor all! He was really nice i the beginning and I really liked him! I get along with everyone and put all my fears aside and my faith in him to make me look like like I've always wanted since had the old ones taken out after 14, yrs!! And had little brrast tissue! So when I showed him s pic of what I wanted then to look like, I got little response back and the staff and communication was so horrible and they were really Rude! When my boyfriend went to pay the first one off with cash that we'd been saving and then the other his income tax they were upset they we paid cash and not off a credit card! And then I knew that after seeing the implants so saggy and just hanging there like I was 60 yrs. old! I knew andirons Bryan that I thought I had the wrong implants and then he finally called and they said they were the wrong ones! So when confronting him he said " no it wouldn't have mattered anyways because you still need the lift and the aerolas to be cut snd moved were you want them! But after the Sugery it caused my relationship to break up!! And the stress was unreal because then he didn't want to even help me! And now im so scared because of this doctor and the scars he left in me after words thee not to bad but it didn't go over the same ones and make them small he just gave me the ancher lift, and shoved those implants inside to make s double bubble that hurts till this day! Could someone please let me know whether think and pray for me! Because he's making me sign a paper even tho seientra is covers for a one yr!! If something goes wrong, he said he onu do anymore work in me if anything goes wrong again! So I'm afraid because I had my wish pic up and gave it to him but he over looked it! And said he would squeeze me in his lunch break! I mean if this doctor round of said. " ok lesa I see the problem and I know the pain and will fix it right away then I'd be so happy and not scared or confused or depressed! But I don't have anyone to talk to! And I'm only five feet, 116 lbs! And very athletic and have 350cc , of the silicone gummy bear shakes teardrop shaped ones! When I wanted the round silicone gummy bears I the moderate high profile! And then thought they were pretty and thighg I wish Id gone a little bigger it ibchosectivketvhin ouch the size out because I knew it thougt my style and how I wanted to look! If I had wearba summer dress without a bra without ugly bras that just get in the way! But I also had one aeriola was bigger and higher then the other one is!! So Bryan was furious and we hasp much planned for this summer, my girls are 26,and 23, yrs old! And tell me that they felt like as nice and convertive as I am that try think he took me for granted and thought I would probably not go anything about or not what t you supposed to do when your in pain and have to wear bras because of it! But I have fibromyalgia and this has caused so much pain and stress that I used to love to work out and have good muscle tone! And this was for my birthday presant that my boyfriend of seven years have me! Until I covers the pain and wouldn't bring the boob Job up at all because it only started these horroribe fights and then he just finally gave up and said he was though and I was on my own! I still do not understand why he wasn't there for me! And I hope someone will see this and tell be what they think about what I should get! Il post some pics of my wish boobs, and and to see if I can get my pics job of mine now! If really like to go with the silicone gummy bears moderate high profile, and get the smooth or textured round implants in 380cc!! Is they to big and Doug they look worse I mean I don't want her to effect me list neither! But I hope everything goes welk for you darling you seem sweet and sounds like luck want in are sides but hopftlly God will watch over the both of us! This time around!!

I think that maybe you should go with the "gummy bear", the gummy bears don't make the ripples on the side like the saline.
April 9, 2015
Those aren't saline, those implants that you see rippling in my pictures are Sientra Gummy Bear 495cc Silicone implants.
Although silicone doesn't usually ripple as bad as saline, they do ripple in quite a few people with thin skin and low body fat.
April 9, 2015
Oh, okay I did not know that, I hope everything will work perfect and this will be your last surgery. Thank you for sharing your story I have learned a lot from you because I had no idea and your story had more information than all the others. I appreciate it :)

Is alloderm also called ADM. I Had implants about 2 1/2 years ago and I am getting rippling upon flexing my chest and they sag when I bend over. I went back to the surgeon who did the BA snd he told me he attached the muscle too high and that is why I'm having issues. He wanted to use an ADM material on me, which is expensive.. I'm wanting to get a revision. I live in Key west now, I've been consulting with the staff at Balharbor

April 13, 2015
Yes, ADM stands for acellular dermal matrix.
It costs about $2,000 per sheet and the sheets are only about 8x4 inches.
It's made from treated cadaver skin and used for all kinds of things, from dentistry to breast reconstruction.
If your still looking for a surgeon, maybe give Dr. Krau a call, my husband and I really like him and he's in the same area.

I know the feeling. I have had move implant/explants that I should get the stupid award. I have just had them permanently explanted with a terribly disfiguring result. I am having a fat transfer in April hoping to look normal. Ever think of leaving them out? I should have done it long ago. Thanks for sharing and God Bless..
