22 year old back and neck pain
jamier95March 28, 2018
I went back to the doctor that did my surgery and asked him what had happen and he could really give me an answer. So I went to a another doctor with Avera and he said that he didn’t really know but he could give me some ideas on what happened such as the blood supply didn’t last or he didn’t measure correctly before the surgery. He said that nothing was saveable and that it was best to do a mastectomy of both the left and the right breasts. Than implants would be put in and a nipple reconstruction would be done. My heart fell into my stomach when he had told me that. So I agreed to do the surgery and everything went really really really well. No infection nothing. Here in the next few months I’ll have implants and I won’t be in pain anymore.

Second opinion
jamier95February 19, 2018
I went to go get a second opinion on my breasts and the doctor said that my right nipple is dead because it lost it’s blood flow during surgery. The left one is still draining and the right one has begun to drain as well. So the pain in the right breast has become more serious. To fix this I would have to get a mastectomy and than implants would be put in in the next few months. So I completely lose my beautiful breasts because I had a back pain and it was the best way to fix it.

I am so sorry that you went through this horrible experience. Something that was supposed to be the happiest and Best Time Ever looks like it has turned into a nightmare. I hope you find a really good doctor that can make your dream comes true from the beginning. That is very true we do, do our researches on these doctors. And hope for the best but the end results is what let us know for sure, which is scary. I'm having my surgery done in June and I have nothing but great reviews on my doctor (Dr. Altman) board certified all his papers are up-to-date certified in almost everything as well, I pray and I'm crossing my fingers...
I think you should do some research on him (Dr. Altman) yourself and see if he's a good candidate for you as well. Keep me updated good luck love...

From the age of 10 I had large breasts. Before the surgery I was a 42ddd and now I’m a 42d. I went to see the doctor to have a consult because I have bad back pain and neck pain. It all went ok and he sent it off to insurance and it was covered. I was going to have surgery January 2nd 2018. I went in and the doctor was 4 hours late for the surgery. I had the horrible tubes in and everything. I call him on Monday after the surgery and tell his nurse what I’m experiencing such as hot flashes and lots of pain and redness and she tells me that it’s something else and not from the surgery. Wednesday of that same week I go back in and my left nipple doesn’t look good nor does my right one. He tells me to go home and put antibiotic cream on it and keep it clean. I get my tubes removed than and there as well. I go back in every week for the next month and everything has just gone down hill. I’m always in pain and I’m embarrassed to even go on dates or anything. I have to change the bandages 2 to 3 times a day depending on how much drainage comes out.

I am so sorry this happened to you! There's no reason to be embarrassed, it's not your fault this happened. Try to keep your head up and think positive. Focus on other helpful things and your healing. You did something good for your body and hopefully you will reap the benefits later. Did they mention why this happened? Praying for a positive outcome for you! Hugs

Hi so sorry to hear this ! The same happened to me in January 2016 check out my wall Vogt photos ! I lost my left nipple following BR surgery! 2 years later I'm still dealing with the aftermath can't afford reconstruction and need scar revision before eventually having nipple tattoo ! As you will know this is the last thing I want if only I could rewind time I would never of had this done ! How are you ? It's pretty recent what I can tell you is it takes time and patience the wound will heel...for me 2 years of not looking in the mirror not undressing in front of my husband it's really taken it's toll ! Feel free to message me xx
