“I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel it’s important to share my experience. Its been over a year healing from this experience II went to this practice because I was having pain in my nipples. The doctor advised that I might have capsular contracture and that surgery might fix the problem. There were no warnings about what I might need after the surgery. I was told that if there was capsular contracture, they would remove it. They also replaced my implants because I had had them for 13 years. Fast forward after the surgery, and I had horrible, paralyzing pain under my breast. I kept going back to this practice telling them something was wrong. The nurse kept telling me, “Just rub it, just rub it, just rub it.” The doctor was out of town, so I was sent to another doctor. He told me rubbing would not do anything. He actually diagnosed the problem and said the scar might have a nerve attached to it. When I tell you these pains were unbearable, I mean unbearable. I couldn’t even get up without a sharp pain shooting through me. I must have gone back every week begging them to do something. Three months later, once the swelling had gone down, my breasts looked horrible. They were sagging, and my nipples were pointing toward my elbows. My breasts did not look like that when I went in. As a matter of fact, I could go without a bra before I had the surgery. Mind you, I was still having the sharp pain, and to add to that, the shooting pain in my nipples had not gone away. The doctor blamed my sagging breasts and my nipples pointing toward my elbows on me not wearing a bra. I explained that wearing a bra was extremely painful because of the nerve pain. He then said he had only replaced the implants and that removing the scar tissue from the capsular contracture was the reason my breasts looked this way. Then he suggested I get a breast lift. If this was going to be a possible outcome, I feel he should have explained it before the surgery so I could make an informed decision. At my next-to-last appointment, I asked if he could refer me to a pain management specialist to address the nerve pain I kept having. He said he wanted to try something first and prescribed Singulair, which did absolutely nothing. At my last appointment, I told him how unhappy I was with my breasts and the scar pain. He said there was absolutely nothing he could do about the scar pain and again brought up the breast lift, which I would probably have had to pay for. I never felt like he took ownership of what had happened. When I requested my medical records, I found they were inaccurate. They never mentioned the repeated complaints I made about the nerve pain. Instead, they blamed my sagging breasts on me not wearing a bra. Fast forward six months later. I ultimately sought a second opinion elsewhere. My experience with the second surgeon was very different: clear expectations from the start, excellent communication, thorough post-op care, and both the cosmetic issues and pain were successfully addressed. This is my personal experience, but I wish I had been given more complete information upfront from this practice and better support afterward.”
