I did a breast augmentation for the first time in December 2013, but decided to get another one done with Dr. Greenberg in March 2014 (3 months after my previous surgery) because they were too small. He did a good job but they were way too small and I had a big gap between my breasts after the first surgery. After talking to him he suggested of going back to surgery and getting them bigger but didn't want to close the gap because he was scared that the implants were going to mesh together. I was not happy about that because I can't wear open tops to show my cleavage, but I was okay with it since no one could notice it when I was wearing a bra or sport bras. About a week ago around November 1, 2015 I noticed that my left implant seemed to be shifting to my left side. And the next day my implant seemed lower than the right one and I could feel my implant even more than before. I was extremely scared and called right away and I got an appointment for Wednesday 11/4/15. He saw me and all he said was that my pocket opened but I could leave it like that or I could go back to surgery again which would cost me $2,275.00 extra on top of all the money I had already paid him for the previous 2 surgeries. Now, I am self conscious and won't be able to wear a bathing suit until I get this fixed. I am extremely disappointed because I trusted him and he seemed to be very understanding at the time and this time he couldn't even give me a clear explanation of why the pocket opened. He asked me if I was left-handed and I said that I wasn't. The previous month I didn't work or did anything strenuous because I was studying for my boards for an entire month. I was not lifting or doing anything out of the ordinary. I usually don't complain or give bad reviews but I wouldn't want anyone else to go through all of this. I am only 22 years old and this is something that can be fixed, but I wouldn't be going through this if it was done right the first time. I am extremely disappointed and I will be doing more research for my next surgery to fix this issue.

I would love to post my pictures but I don't really want anyone seeing my breasts especially the way they are. I am extremely uncomfortable with how they look now. It has affected me in many ways to the point that I can't no longer work until I get this fixed. I already went to a couple of surgeons and it's going to cost me about $10,000 which I don't currently have. But I have to see my options because I need to get back to work as soon as possible.

The surgeons told me that I can't carry anything over 5lbs on my left arm because I could potentially cause more damage. In addition, to not be able to go to work because I have to move heavy things and patients I can't even wear a top that shows my breast because they are uneven.

Hopefully I can put the pictures once this is fixed and I am no longer conscious about it.

Hello Beth,
Although I was hesitant about posting pictures of my breasts I went ahead and posted them so others can see it and avoid themselves ending up like me.

I was hesitant to adding pictures of my breast but nobody will be able to see what Dr. Greenberg did unless I show it. This is extremely embarrassing for me because I didn't have any issues with my breast except the fact that I lost some weight and they were smaller than before. Due to Dr. Greenberg's negligence now I am left with horrible breasts. The previous quotes that I got were in Orlando and were between $9,400- $10,000. I just moved to California and the prices are even higher here. One doctor quote me $21,550 and the other one $13,500. All doctors asked me if the surgeon who performed my BA was an older person and their response was that most likely my doctor used an old technique and opened my pockets too much. On top of that, he put implants that are way too wide for my body. All surgeous suggested that the implant's should not have been bigger than 12 due to my chest measurements. Yet, Dr. Greenberg decided to put 13.5 which is obviously too wide for my body. Do yourself a favor and go to another surgeon or else you'll end up like me.
