Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Hi Lovelies! Quick drop in.
Hi Loves! Sorry I have been a bit MIA for a while, but I have really decided to take sharing this part of my journey seriously for the purpose of helping women on different steps of this journey- and especially given that a notable enough number of women have expressed that they were considering having a procedure with this doctor, I find it necessary to give them the opportunity to make an INFORMED decision where he is concerned. I have to share my experience, and my perspective on it. I have often said and I believe that this happened to me because I could handle it...Doesn't affect me like I KNOW it would some other women. I feel that my responsibility here is to share so that I can do my part to ensure that other women (who maybe already have unresolved issues with themselves) don't have to go through such a shitfest and be filled with regret.
(I have no regrets. I know why this needed to happen. No need to worry about me and I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH for all of the support and love following of my journey. Thankful for every comment, message, well-wish and positive intention sent my way <3. So much love to you guys. Again, I love you all.)
I will be back on soon, and will be sharing videos on my experience for the purpose I stated above. I will also be following my REVISION SURGERY JOURNEY with videos as well. Have not concretely decided on a doctor yet, but I will keep you all updated!
If anyone has any experience with Dr. Dana Khuthaila, M.D., FRCSC, I would love to hear. Talk soon :* <3

UPDATE
Goodnight guys,
I'm not sure where to begin with all of this. It's been a while (over a year to be more precise).
I have received messages over time, as well as comments (one of which has been deleted by RealSelf), from women on here. I will insert screenshots of my responses to to make this easier. I will omit their names to maintain privacy but I really feel that sharing is important. Review the photos/screenshots before I continue.
From what I said, you can see the concerns I had been having. Things have not progressed. I am more solid in my opinion of the expertise and professionalism of this surgeon...or lack thereof I should say. For some time, I really was just telling myself that I didn't want to be an [RS bleep]. "Maybe he is genuine and he did know what he was doing...And this just HAPPENS to have been my outcome.". A bunch of women cant be saying the same thing and have it be invalid.
I had to contact him for a post op appointment and voiced concerns about the outcome that he also said was acceptable, but suggested that I could have a revision where he could lift my nipple up further (because obviously a rooftop nipple is desirable) or attempt to lower my breast crease to maybe make the implant drop lower(though he said that this is not the option he would recommend as it is not a sure thing- skin may go back to its old position- may end up with double crease). He insists on trying to convince you that what you are seeing is acceptable.
I have scars on my nipples themselves as if he took no care with me at all. They are botched in the true sense of the word in my opinion. Nipples uneven and oddly placed. I will insert a picture.
And it's so interesting that it seems that my surgery was done with little care since my 2 and a half to 3 hour surgery as per schedule ended up taking about 7 hours. (This is information that I received from my worried mother who has accompanied me through this journey- and for that I am grateful.)
I don't get it, he really had me having a mental battle with myself. But I am coming to terms with the fact that this really is not acceptable work.
Jumping to now...
After taking off my bra last night, I found that my right breast was looking a bit strange and red around the right side of my areola. Upon examining it, I felt a lump- obviously alarming. Though, I just felt like it was some sort of abscess or build up of matter below the skin as it was near my areaola where there are two little holes from post op that have excreted matter much like that of a "white head" when squeezed before.
I emailed him as my mother insisted. He responded and said to send him pictures and to call a given number to make an appointment. I sent the photos but he hasn't responded to that email. My mother called and the office said I had to schedule a consultation of some sort? For the cost of 500TTD. Needless to say that I am going to visit a NEW surgeon on Thursday to see what's going on. I went to the doctor's office today and they advised that I see a PS to be safe. I definitely don't feel "safe" dealing with him.
I will keep y'all updated but I would like to hear your feedback. Thank you for ALL of the support that you have provided, including the ladies that reached out to me. I honestly feel that all of this happened for a reason (and I can handle it) so that I can bring awareness to this situation and others like it. Thank you guys

Sorry for the late Update
A lot has happened since my last update. I feel like my level of dissatisfaction is finally starting to grow after my lengthily span of "staying positive".
Firstly, I had some sort of reaction to the silicon strips used to 'help with scarring'. The PS put them on one afternoon, and by the next day, I was getting a strange smell coming from my breasts. I thought it was paranoia, but upon checking that afternoon, I realized that the strips had burned into my flesh. All of my scabbing was gone and there were oozing open sores essentially all over my nipples and scars. It was scary, but I tried to keep calm for mine and my mother's sake (she was freaking out). I told my doctor (and sent him pictures over email) and he was nonchalant about it, telling me to just remove the strips, wash and put some ointment on them. He also suggested that I keep the silicone strips so that we could "maybe try with them again" which I thought was absurd seeing what they had done to my skin. The burns have healed, but caused extra scarring in my opinion...I hate that.
Secondly, I am not content with their appearance at this point. My left breast still doesn't seem to be dropping like it should. It is still noticeably very high and less mobile. They look okay in some clothes, but the point of doing this was for them to look healthy all the time, including while naked right? I still find myself shying away from wearing certain things. I feel like I just may have made them worse at this point. My nipples are also awkwardly shaped, placed and uneven in my opinion. I was feeling like it was just me, but now, I'm not sure. I also experience some numbness on my right side and sometimes feel like my nipples were pulled to tight. My breast sort of still seem to hang off of the implant, which was the point of the lift. They don't really fall in smoothly. I don't know if this has anything to do with him using textured implants which are 'designed to stay in place'.
Idk. I feel sort of misinformed and like maybe I should have went with another PS. Any thoughts?

Provider Review
Dr. Schleich is amazing. Couldn't have asked for a better PS. He has years of experience, and his expertise is clearly reflected in the advice he gives. He listens to what you want and guides you as to what is possible and safe. He makes me feel very comfortable and answers my questions to the best of his ability. He keeps in touch via emails and schedules Skype calls any time he feels that something is unclear to me so that he can explain it accurately to avoid any misconceptions. I trust him as my plastic surgeon. He operates out of Ridgeland, Mississippi as well as Trinidad and Tobago, West Indies where I currently reside.
