In my lift debate

JayJgirls · 08-11-2009, 10:37 AM

Well my PS nurse called and said that if I wanted a full lift it would be 4700... That really ticks me off cause he probably should have lifted me in the first place... Like we discussed... so my first breast augmentation was 6300 then I bottomed out and that was 1400 more now another 4700 is he for real!!!! well I am not 100% sure on how I want to handle this, I might write a letter saying how dissapointed I am... However it's not like I am going to use him for the lift why would i there is zero incentive and when I asked to see pics he said he would let me meet one his patients which he has yet to furnish... I don't have any more post visits so I guess that was a nice way to kick me to the curb!!!

I hope my revision holds up.. What an expensive lesson.. I know my boobs look alot better than before but he did make me bigger than I wanted and I did have a complication.. SUCKS!!!

So your ps didnt give you a deal? Which is weird. Everything that you went through. I still dont think you need a lift but I think if a lift is what will make you happy then you should get one. I think your boobs are beautiful & your lucky. You know I am always here for you!

Tommysmommy · 08-11-2009, 02:52 PM

Wow, my original BL/breast augmentation was $5k for the doc, $2k for the silicone implants and $2k for the facility/anesthesia. He really isn't giving you any reason to go back to him, is he? But, as daisy said, you really do look beautiful. I hope you can come to terms with your results or find a fantastic surgeon who can give you the results you want. It rots to be miserable after going thru all of this.

JayJgirls · 08-11-2009, 06:18 PM

Well so I talked to his lift patient and she is a Dr. in our area??? Interesting right.. Any way I told her everything and she was real honest with me that she could totally relate to the loss of trust to my PS and other PS who I have consulted who pointed the finger. she said that sometimes out bodies just don't do exactly what we want when a foreign object is placed in them. She was surprised that he wasn't working with me with the price... I am still so confused I really wish I wasn't borderline lift... I wish that I didn't
have to worry about this....uggg so these are my options which don't have to be made tomorrow...

1. Full lift 4700 and hope the size decreases enough to make me happy
2 new smaller implants and full lift like 9K
I allready spent 7800 on breast augmentation and a revision!!!!! How freakin disapointing!!!

I'm so sorry you're going through this, I think you look great, but I do understand if its not what you were after. sending huggs

I think you look amazing! It doesn't look like you need a lift to me. I'm sorry you're unhappy, I've been there and the 3rd time was the charm for me

So far anyway, I'm only 2 weeks post so still keeping my fingers crossed. My original PS also went larger than we agreed on, causing my 1st redo (which he did for only the cost of the implants $600). The size was better, but not the shape. But he made me feel like they were better than before so I should just be happy. But I felt like all the time and money I had invested was a waste because they were so ugly. I finally got got a 2nd opinion and had my redo (new PS actually charged less than my original PS was going to charge for the redo!) So the moral of the story is do what you feel you need to do to be happy and enjoy your boobs. Get a 2nd opinion and go from there, I'm so glad I did! I def don't think you should have to shell out another $9k to get what you want though, that seems a bit steep! Good luck girlie, and btw if I had your bod I wouldn't care about boobs, you have killer legs!

I have gone on second opinions and they all want to swap my impants out give me silicon and a lift so it is like 9K totally sucks... I think all I need is a lift to tighten up all the excess skin aroung the implant... I know it doesn't show well in photos but in a bathind suit they look really bad IMO.. I am waiting to see if my PS is going to neg the charge for the lift.. If not than I guess I will have a new PS that I can trust... I noticed that alot of PS kinda from away from another PS work so all around this situation just sucks!!

I know how you feel my first surgeon refused to do my lift saying I didn't need it. I'm glad I didn't use him I had complications which he was too incompetant to diagnose. Me also said that when the time did come he would do a crescent lift. The surgeon who did my redo said that I needed a full anchor or would not be happy with the results and it would make my nipples flatten. I would go get a second opinion. If you're not happy your surgeon should be trying to fix it and do a deal

goldengurls · 08-13-2009, 08:22 PM

I am going in on Sept. 9th for my 3rd REVISION....... my rightie didn't hold and he needs to raise my nipples. I had a full anchor lift and breast augmentation....... I have not had to pay for any of the revisions.........

I have you has a friend but I can't see your pics.......... how odd is that........

edited to say, sending you a FR guess I don't. Guess we have just talked........

JayJgirls · 08-13-2009, 08:37 PM

My Dh called to speak with my ps today and he was unavailable.. hopefully he will call him back but we are very insulted he wants to charge me full price.. I don't know if thats his way to get me to move on or he doesn't realize how insulting that is.. He did not charge me for the revision though... maybe he wants to make up for that loss!

goldengurls · 08-13-2009, 09:10 PM

Gosh, gurl you look fabulous........ I hope everything works out for you..... Love your photo shoot.........

JayJgirls · 08-14-2009, 10:23 PM

Well the update is that my PS did call back my DH today and both my DH and PS agree that I look great but If i don't feel great than my PS understands why I want a lift and not dish out a heaps of money either!!! So he is gonna come up with a better price .....and call later next week.. I feel better I guess... It's like no one see's what I see and everyone else likes my boobies except for me and I feel a bit CRAZY lol... I feel like I have been soo mean to my PS but it's my body and I want it the way I want it.. within reason of course so If I want higher tighter boobs it's up to me right?? OK VENT NEEDED!! Thanks girlz!!

Tommysmommy · 08-14-2009, 11:40 PM

As everyone else has said, you look amazing, but if you aren't satisfied, then your ps should do something about it. Cosmetic surgery is all about making you feel good about yourself. I sure hope it works out the way you want it to eventually.

Rosebud11 · 08-15-2009, 01:19 AM

I think you look great too! But, I know YOU need to feel that you look great. Hope it all works out for you!
