35 Year Old, 2 Kids, Breastfed Both, Ready to Put Everything Back Where It Belongs! - Sugarland, TX

I had a bad experience with the doctor and his PA during recovery but felt very pressured to write a good review on here initially. I worried that if I needed anything I would be treated even worse if I was totally honest in my review. It's obvious to me now that his staff and PA troll this site under fake names and have written tons of fake rave reviews. Now I am a year and half out and feel I needed to share my experience.
My results aren't as good as they were initially. The thing that sold me on Dr H was the upper breast fullness without an implant. Now that the swelling has gone down (it literally took a year), my breasts are pancakes. Completely flat above the nipple with zero cleavage. I got a reduction and now I've considered getting a tiny implant to fix the shape; however since he altered my chest muscles, I seriously doubt an implant could be placed under the muscle now. His work on me wasn't horrible, it's just not worth paying DOUBLE the price for sure. I could've gotten my breasts, TT, and tons of lipo all for half the cost.... and close to home. Not worth it and the vertical scar with other docs isn't that bad. It was the shape of the breast that I was mostly concerned with and desired but sadly they deflated over time.
I am also left with these weird fat pockets under my arms that looks like a second boob. It has been impossible to find a swimsuit that doesn't show this and most make it look 1000x worse with a strap that runs underneath it so the fat rolls over it. Same thing for the TT. I have a nice flat stomach but ugly fat bulges on my hips that give me a muffin top took in fitted tees. Again, I spent 25 grand and still can't wear any swimsuit and still have a freakin' muffin top. Most of my dissatisfaction could have been avoided with a little localized lipo to finish contouring the final result. These problems were there from Day 1 and his solution was to come back for a revision later. Why would you do that when it could've been done 100% right from the beginning. If it's something that HAS to be done in a revision, I get it. But this is something the should have been done during my initial surgery and part of the price, if I might add. Every other surgeon does this for a reason. Because their patients are happy with their results and their work is 'finished' the first time, not half a*$.
Another failed promise was his special TT procedure that they claimed makes you lose a ton of weight. Smh. You may feel full a little sooner with eating for the first 2 months at most. Once your abdominal wall gets used to being stretched after surgery, your appetite is back to normal....only now your activity level is still poor because the pain is terrible for months with any exertion. So ultimately you really don't lose any weight. Just another disappointment so again, not worth the extra money for his 'special' technique.

I also added some pics of my bra choice after surgery that I bought at JCPenney and the pillow that was really helpful after my tummy tuck.
