Another surgery
$14,900
So In February, I got told that I had to have another lift because my implants were falling. I was quite upset about it, but if the next surgery was going to fix it, then fine.
Fast forward to last week, I got in for the surgery. After, I was in a lot more pain that I originally anticipated. My whole chest was so sore. I could barely move my arms. After I got home, the pain was so bad it felt as if the pain meds weren't working.
After finally gaining some mobility and being able to stand up straight, I took a look at what was done. It looks as if he did a reduction. My chest isn't near as big, in fact, it looks squished cause now it's going into my sides. When I finally was able to have a shower and I took off my bra, I broke down. One was lifted higher than the other, now they look completely stupid. In fact, it's causing a rift in between my breasts cause it is uneven. Because one was lifted higher, now I look like I am lop-sided. One nipple points down and one points out...are you kidding me? There was no need for a difference in lift. They both were in the same position, both needing the same lift. I am so upset right now, constantly on the verge of crying.
I go to see him tomorrow. This is not going to be a good situation.

Sorry you are feeling dissatisfied. I read your previous posts but may have missed this- did u have just a lift? Or did you have implants? Did you have any lipo? I've read and heard over and over that a TT without lipo is a mistake- no matter your size. When done by a skilled ps the lipo is contouring that makes for the best end result. Also, did you have muscle repair? I think mr is also a key part of getting a flat result. I hope you can get some reassurance from your dr that you will have the best outcome. You deserve that.

I did have Lipo. My implants where done years ago, not by Dr Rose. I have had an augmentation and a reduction. I started with silicone implants and now have saline. Ill be going back to silicone .

Things aren't going as well as I had hoped.
In addition to the issues I indicated in my last post, you can now see lumps under my breasts...it looks like my implants are "falling" down. During my workouts, it is actually to the point of hurting because they are not where they should be.
I saw my doctor on Tuesday. I went through everything with him again, plus this new issue.
For my stomach, last time he told me it was fluid under the skin. This time, I get told that it is loose skin. Um...that's what the tummy tuck was supposed to fix, right? There have been women who have posted on here, pre-surgery, with the same look I have right now.
For my breasts, I get told I will probably have to have another lift, the skin isn't tight enough. Seriously, I have to go through this again? Wasn't this supposed to fix that issue? Then he tells me I need to start wearing underwire bras because I need more support. I'm not quite sure how that is going to go, I tried it and it feels like the implants want to slip under the underwire. So uncomfortable.
Then he goes on to comment that everything looks good as I stand there in my clothes. The breasts still have a nice shape, the stomach is flat. Yes, I agree...but as soon as I sit, you can see my stomach is no longer flat, plus, I don't need to be embarrassed when I take off my clothes for my husband...or wear a bikini to the beach. That's what this surgery was all about...feeling good about myself no matter what.
I have another follow up in 3 months. He said it was too early to determine any further action right now. He will see where things are at, at that time.
I don't have the excitement as I did before. I was planning on a thigh lift next summer, but it might have to be put on hold to fix this stuff.

im so sorry to hear about your journey. I too had many breast implant problems. too many to even list. but I can say that after 5 surgeries, I still need another boob job. I have kept my clothes on for 15 years! I don't feel worthy of love because of my surgical deformities. Inner beauty is outer beauty and im the only one who cares about all my flaws. I pray for you.... you deserve better! when I sit down my tummy expands and I look like a blubber. I diet like crazy - I don't smoke or drink alcohol. I eat exceptionally healthy and I still have to deal with this %$#%^&* surgery. I had bad face work too that kept me from seeing my family for 4 years now. I basically hide from anyone who ever knew me before. im looking forward to hearing some good news for you in the future - just be glad you are not me. I am a surgical nightmare.
