Hi guys I had my BA in May 2014 with Dr Ali at TCI. By October they were both completely bottomed out. In for revision surgery with Dr Ali in March 2015. This failed, another try in mid April. So after 3 surgeries and 2 years I still have issues and have finally booked in to have these things fixed once and for all in July with Dr Miroshnik. This whole debarcle will have costed me over $20 000 by the time I am finished and 2 years of my life. Please don't go to TCI. They are all lovely in there but their surgeons are cosmetic surgeons not plastic surgeons. If anyone wants to message me for more info I am happy to chat. I have kept quiet about this but I really think people need to know how wrong this can go. I know I thought it was pretty straight forward but clearly it is not. Go to the best that you can afford, it's your body and you have to look in the mirror and feel happy with your decision everyday. I have 2 kids and I know I chose TCI due to feeling guilty about spending more than that on myself. Believe me you will feel a lot more guilty when you end up spending $20k on a set of Ta tas and your poor mother and husband have spent the last 2 years helping you recover from multiple surgeries that should never have been required. Good luck everyone, I hope you all get the results you are after.

Hey,
I'm sorry you had a bad experience with TCI. I had a great experience with them always super nice and helpful with me. I went through them in Bondi with Dr Dash and got 365cc turning my 8a-b to an 8e buuuut now I'm a year po and one of my breasts hasn't dropped enough :( it needs about 1-2cms to match my left. How much did you pay for revision surgery and did you have the same time off as you did with your ba?
Thanks!

Hey babe I had the same problem! Got mine December 2014 and completely bottomed out and made my pocket to big. I lie down and I'm Fully flat chested because they fall into my arm pit and I get burning sensations in my arm pits. I had 560cc HP with dr duong in Sydney. I moved to qld and went into the southport clinic for a revision consult and dr ngyuen was the 'revision surgeon' he had my hopes up thinking I'd be able to get them fixed but he wanted to consult with 'dr mark Doyle' first 2 weeks later I went back in and he told me no we won't do a revision for you we think this will just continue to happen, do you get pain? We will take them out for you for free.' Ummmm not good enough!!!!!! So I told him I've consulted with PLASTIC surgeons and they have told me it's your stuff up because of placement He screamed in my face 'YOU NEED TO SHUT UP, IM A SURGEON YOU ARENT HOW MANY SURGERIES HAVE YOU PERFOMED?' Absolute disgrace of a company!!!!!!
