Huck Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 I am so upset. I look deformed. My nipples are ruined. My breasts are ruined. $14,000 for this mess :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donatella Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 Have you seen your surgeon for follow up? I agree the left breast does not look right however could be too early to judge the nipples so don't panic there yet mycosmeticjourney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huck Posted December 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 I've been down twice , one week check up nurse cut stitches that were hanging out, & Tuesday we just had ,nurse took off glue & put on Fiximul tape. Don't see the surgeon til the 18th Jan.i mentioned about the left breast but she just said its early days.i knew by day 1 post op something wasn't right- but thought I'd give it a bit of time as I didn't want to be too paranoid.

donatella Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 For for a lift it is still early days I've seen some lifts look like an absolute mess turn into perfection over the weeks. I would see if you can get in to see the surgeon earlier, even email pics to the clinic and get someone to call when they get in. You really are still early though so don't fret yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boobs4louise Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 No advice but could you put the photos in the q&a section and see if any surgeons answer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overthinkingit Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 Try not to stress too much until you have spoken to a PS. Remember they will heal at different rates and the healing process is long and slow. Did your surgeon give you any sort of guarantee that he would fix them without charge if there was a problem? If there are problems with mine in the next 2yrs all surgeons fees are waived. Huck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmy2015 Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 For $14,000 you'd expect your surgeon to be at your beck and call, especially if you're not happy. Keep on calling/emailing until you get a response from your surgeon. I agree with the other ladies though, your breasts still need time to heal so don't let them get you down too much.

Huck Posted December 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 The left boob hurts & has a major dent. I know within myself something isn't right. It's so distressing. I'm waiting at a medical centre at the moment. My doctors doesn't open til Tuesday & my plastic surgeons office isn't open til wednsday. Gonna see if I can get some pain killers & possibly antibiotics today. I feel so down..... These were my pre op boobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donatella Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 Keep us updated. If you are really worried the Gold Coast hospital has a plastic surgery department so presenting there would get you seen by a PS Abevemi, AlanaJ, Blossom and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huck Posted December 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 That's where I had my surgery Donatella. The office doesnt open til Wednsday. I've just sent an email & photos..... hopefully the PS gets back to me as soon as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huck Posted December 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 I had never heard of him.Dr Kenny from TCI referred me to him as he said I would need a lift because my chest is built lower ... Being a plastic surgeon in a private hospital I thought I'd be well taken care of. im waiting at a medical centre at the moment -when I get home I'll see if there is a direct phone number in my paperwork . overthinkingit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just sent an email & photos..... hopefully the PS gets back to me as soon as possible. but the hospital never closes. You can present to ED if worried and you would be assessed by the PS on that day if they deemed necessary does your surgeon have a good reputation?did your surgeon give you a direct number for him or your nurse? I can email my nurse anytime day or night and she gets back to me fast I also have my ps mobile number to call or text if I need him. I'm not sure how unhelpful you realise you look when you continue with the "with my PS I can do this that and the other".

donatella Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 Donatella I live 2 1/2 hours away from the hospital where I had sugery at.see what the medical centre says. It doesn't look infected to me but the dent definitely doesn't look right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imperfectly_lou Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 Keep us updated Huck.... I agree with Don that the dent is a bit unusual. Did you just start having pain in the side too or are you still getting general post op pain? Katewell and AlanaJ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen Mc Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 Huck I have no words of wisdom to help you but you're ur right... the dent in your boob doesn't look right. I hope all went ok at the GP having it checked out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaddles Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 For for a lift it is still early days I've seen some lifts look like an absolute mess turn into perfection over the weeks. I would see if you can get in to see the surgeon earlier, even email pics to the clinic and get someone to call when they get in. You really are still early though so don't fret yet Mine were absolutely horrific for 6 or 8 weeks, one of my nipples pulled inwards in a dent like yours, and swelling pulled them in different directions, so they were super wonky. They ended up fine - truly, everyone heals differently, although it would be great to get some reassurance from your PS, you need to ignore them for a month or so, they've got a lot of healing to do. Feel free to FR me if you'd like to see some truly scary PO boobs which did come good. naomi49, elle_cee, Blossom and 19 others 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huck Posted December 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 I ended up leaving the medical centre before I saw a doctor as I had been waiting hours & had about another 20 people before me. I received an email & phone call from a lady from the plastic surgery clinic, & I am going in on Wednsday to see the PS.
