The treatment you have received from this unprofessional is horrid. Hopefully he was reported to the medical board. Isn't there a code of ethics with the medical board? My love, compassion and thoughts are with you and your husband.

Chantexas, my main goal is to make people aware of what happened to me, and hope and pray that if I can help save one person go through what I did, everything I went through will have been worth it. The only positive thing that came out of this devastating experience is I am blessed with a wonderful group of people on this site. Thank you for your comments...much love to you xoxo

What really bothers me was his attitude and justifications about this after it happened.

Still thinking of you and praying for a good solution!

The tattoo HAS NOT HELD the pigmentation and my left breast is severely deformed, I have lost so much volume due to the nipple necrosis. Prior to Dr. Leighton doing the surgery if he would have taken the time to throughly review my chart he would have found that I had a larger implant in my right breast, as my breasts were different sizes. He put the same size implants in both breasts, so now not only am I a whole cup size smaller (I was to go larger than what I was before) but one breast is considerably smaller than the the other. I still have so much (hard) scar tissue and my scars are awful.. they are so long and so visible even after using Mederma advance scar gel. I am so disappointed the way my whole situation was handled and these results are devastating both physically and mentally.

How are you doing Beauty??

hello dear sweet friend.....so nice to hear from you! I hope and pray for a better 2014. My tattoo didnt hold, which was very disappointing as it was very painful to have done. When I was at my appointment at the tattoo artist a few months after it was done normally they like to re fill in the areas but she didnt want to redo anything because she informed me my skin was so thin and comprised and now it has almost completely faded. It truly is devastating as I initially was suppose to be larger breast size wise, and I am not only a full size smaller but am also so uneven as the same size implants were put in and womens breasts are normally different sizes, my first set of implants one side was larger as one breast was larger than the other, it was in my chart, not sure why he would have put the same size in, makes no sense. The left side is so much smaller due to the necrosis and the I lost so much volume, so now not only am I missing a nipple, I am so lopsided....I so appreciate you....I truly want to say I am feeling and doing great, but...I cant and dont bend the truth and cant say something that isnt so. How are you?? Have you made any decisions yet? Know I am here for you and I care!

I seen where he paid for tattooing , that tells me he knew he did a bad job.
The last set of pictures show a lot of improvement hopefully the skin will get thicker and the tattooing will stay.

Hello dear kindrayo, thank you for your time and your post. Unfortunately, the tattoo did not hold and the tattoo artist will not reapply as the skin is so thin and so damaged. I don't wish this experience on anyone, the pain alone of the tattoo on both nipples were devastating. What it has done to me physically and mentally is something that will be with me for the rest of my life.It is a loss and a feeling of being broken that can not be fixed. If I can save one person going through what I did, I will feel as though I have made a difference. Before pursuing any surgeon one has to dig into the dr.s history, if there are lapses in his employment find out why and then go with your gut, had I done that I wouldn't be in the situation I am in today. There needs to be Laws in place for the public to know what kind of issues dr.s have/had, when they return to practice....as I truly believe this impacts the way patients are treated and has so much to do with the way if a mistake is made how it's handled. As I always say, we are human, mistakes happens but the difference is how the we handle the issues when they arise, that's what sets the real professionals and ethical dr.'s apart from the "others".

To call oneself an "expert" PS for breast reconstruction, and ending up with the results you have so far suffered, borders on criminality, not just probable medical malpractice. I think women of America need an association through which these doctors are forced to be claimants in class action medical malpractice lawsuits. If our laws don't support this, then our laws need to be changed. No man would want to have pieces of his penis fall off, have thick blatant scars, emotional torment, and probable altered intimate relations. Women are not second class citizens to be dictated to, and sometimes mutilated by, the male dominated medical industry.

You are so correct....I applaud you for your intelligence if i can just get more people to feel and think the way you do, we would all be so much better off! Thank you thank you for your insight, your time and above all for your honesty. G-d bless you my friend....and thank you again!
