went in again to a plastic surgeon that did my first breast augmentation and knowing all he needs is a picture I brought in a couple pictures of XL breasts. Told him I want them way bigger like that. He said he could do it.
Went under, woke up and hardly noticed a difference. He took out my 415cc filled breast implants and only put in a 600cc. I told him they aren't even close to as large as I asked and that there are huge knobs poking out. They hurt and look like the plugs you would see in a child's arm floaties. He said to come back after they heal a bit and should be fine. He made me come back many times over the course of almost a year and each time telling me things like "I have a misconception of what breasts should look like" and that he's "smarter than me when it comes to this and he had to listen to what I said I wanted and give me what he knows I needed" but that's not why I gave him all that money. I told him I tried to like the small size but they are so deformed they don't even look like a women's breast. I can't even wear a tank top without seeing many knobs that look like extra nipples. They poke the inside of my tissue and hurt.
I have been historical and seeing a psychiatrist because I no longer look like a women and he agreed I need to speak with a lawyer and give them his phone number.
I tried many many times to work it out with the doctor and his people and they finally told me they wouldn't do anything.

I brought in a couple pictures of XL breasts. Dr Flynn took out my 415cc filled breast implants and replaced with a 600cc. I told him they aren't even close to as large as I asked and that now there are huge knobs poking out protruding through my skin on each breast. They hurt and look like the plugs you would see in a child's arm floaties. He said to come back after they heal a bit and should be fine. He made me come back many times over the course of almost a year and each time telling me things like "I have a misconception of what breasts should look like" and that he's "smarter than me when it comes to this" and he "had to listen to what I said I wanted and give me what he knows I need" but that's not why I gave him all that money and explained to him he should have discussed that with me prior to doing the procedure. I told him I tried to like the small size he put in but they are so deformed they don't even look like a women's breast. I can't even wear a tank top without seeing many knobs that look like extra nipples. They poke the inside of my tissue and hurt.
After this he would make me come back so he could "think about whether he would redo them or not" he mentioned that he "would only be able to go up to an 800cc and you wouldn't even see a difference between 600cc and 800cc because you wouldn't see a difference between 200cc's". So I told him then if you had a 415cc why would you only put in 600cc? That's only a 200cc difference and you're telling me you wouldn't even see a difference... Which is why I came to you in the first place!
He kept making me come back saying things like "well you've came back this many times and each time you haven't hanged your mind and want bigger, so come back in a few weeks and I'll think about whether I'll redo them."

I came back so many times and I tried many many times to work it out with the doctor and his staff. My last visit I told dr Flynn I've been so upset about no longer looking like a women I've had to go see a psychiatrist and he thinks I need to speak to a lawyer and would like to speak to the lawyer as well to advise how this has given me severe anxiety. Dr Flynn now wanted to blame not redoing my breasts because maybe I wasn't mentally sound enough to withstand the procedure. So I said if you need me to wait a little longer before we do it I am ok with that. He said he would need to call my psychiatrist first and I agreed. I followed up with dr flynns office again and his people and they finally told me they wouldn't do anything.

I would never recommend this doctor. I later read another review and pretty much said the same thing about dr Flynn and remaining her nose for a nose job and she had to go get it redone in LA. Unfortunately I can't afford to have mine redone and have to live with being scammed by someone I trusted and no longer looking like a women.

On no! I went from 400 cc saline to 625cc silicone and I went up a cup size. It wasn't a huge difference but it was exactly what I wanted. So sorry your doc didn't listen to you. Dr. Pousti in san deigo is a specialist when it comes to XL implants. Alot of girls on here have gone to him. I went to dr. Andrew smith in irvine but I don't think he uses bigger than 700 or 800 cc implants. Any who's thought I would suggest dr. Pousti to you for a revision. How long has been since your surgery?

Yeah that size might have been perfect for your body type. Dr Flynn knew my body as he did my first surgery. He had no intentions of giving me the size I showed him I wanted. I assumed a 600 would have given me the results I requested as he is the professional. Didn't come to light until post surgery where he decided to then tell me he didn't even do the size I was requesting. Trying to like the smaller size but they're so deformed it disgusting! I wish I read reviews on every website because most only had one review that was good. After further investigation I found many other people went through a very similar situation with dr Flynn as well. I wish reviews would go on every review site. I just had the surgery March 2014. Almost a year. I would love to be able to get them redone I just can't afford it as I gave the money to Flynn and he wouldn't give me my money back nor would he redo them. Heartbreaking!

I'm sorry hon :( it's not fun spending all the money and not getting what u want. I have had complications with each surgery but they weren't heart breaking like fhis :(. I could hide some of my flaws but I can't believe the dr said this is ok for you and look good. I mean I have uneven nipples one is higher than the other but I was born that way and my new dr fix them as best as a PS surgeron can. They aren't god they can't changed how we are born but they can make it better. But this what happend to you isn't expected. It's a flaw in the surgeons work. I hope u can save up and fix them they way u wanted and find the right surgeon too

Hi hon. I have lived with a terrible result for years, and it has affected my self esteem, my decision making in regard to relationships, etc. Please do yourself a favor, find a revisionary surgeon. You can learn about a revisionary surgeon on this site. i have been researching for awhile. Start saving. Most have payment plans. Don't let this affect you for years to come! Best wishes and please move forward!!
