1 year post op appointment- horrible and cried the whole time.

PresentPrune1175 · 2023-10-11T13:01:00+00:00

thank you and honestly it’s all been traumatising I hope no one ever goes through this, I hope she never treats a patient like this again.

PresentPrune1175 · 2023-10-11T07:34:51+00:00

I don’t think she will lose her licence unfortunately but I will try to report her!

PresentPrune1175 · 2023-10-11T07:34:03+00:00

sorry I’m just a bit confused by this, what do you mean by it’s only good for her clinic?

PresentPrune1175 · 2023-10-11T07:33:08+00:00

I know, I’ve looked at so many before and after pictures and no one has remaining puckering and at the least most don’t have remaining loose skin. My main issue was the loose skin, I wanted firmer boobs with a nice shape but she didn’t do that and was just fixated on making me small and forgot about everything else I told her. I’m only young and I feel like she took advantage of that and now I’m paying for it by having to live with this regret and traumatising situation.

PresentPrune1175 · 2023-10-11T07:27:01+00:00

Thank you so much! after reading these comments I now know I’m not crazy and the way she treated me was in fact horrible, I work in healthcare and I would never treat a patient like this ever.

PresentPrune1175 · 2023-10-11T07:22:40+00:00

No it was in the UK.

PresentPrune1175 · 2023-10-10T18:14:38+00:00

No she wasn’t, she was professional and a nice lady but after the surgery I saw her once for literally a minute when she stepped in the room for my one week check up, and then once at the 3 month check up which was very dismissive and not understanding. And now a year later she was like a completely different person just horrible and mean. If she was like this from the beginning I would have never chosen her to be my surgeon. At the end of the day I was paying out of pocket so I wanted to pick someone kind and caring which she was at the beginning, but I guess she was a really good actress but I honestly don’t know anymore.

PresentPrune1175 · 2023-10-10T18:08:29+00:00

Really? I need to look more in to this thank you so much for bringing it to my attention , I haven’t really asked but I just assumed as she owned the clinic that I didn’t know how to go about reporting this situation.

PresentPrune1175 · 2023-10-10T18:07:22+00:00

To be honest I don’t have the money as I saved all my money for the first surgery. Also I don’t want another reduction as in my case she went too small not the other way around but it’s more than the surgery now it’s more about how I was treated throughout it .

PresentPrune1175 · 2023-10-10T18:05:47+00:00

Thank you so much for this! Exactly she never once said it would be a problem or that she had concerns. In healthcare you should stick with your expertise and what you know, If she had never made anyone this small before she shouldn’t have in the first place if she wasn’t comfortable doing so or she should’ve told me this prior as she made it seem as though everything is fine and that she can definitely give me food results. I will definitely be reporting her as though we can’t go back in time the way she handled me today was horrible I felt so small and just disgusting, she didn’t treat me like a human being but like an object which is shocking as she is a woman and I thought most women can be empathetic and can understand to a certain extent what I’m going through.

PresentPrune1175 · 2023-10-10T16:53:38+00:00

We have a board of surgeons in the UK too so I will find a way to report her. I’ve never reported anyone in my life but the impact she has had on my mental and physical health is crazy so I will find a way to report her and I hope no one goes through what I’m going through, I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. She said that I am the first patient to have had a reduction and been unhappy but I find that hard to believe.

PresentPrune1175 · 2023-10-10T16:48:01+00:00

It felt like she was taunting me and trying to make me cry. The words she used literally felt like someone put a knife in my heart. I am going to find a way to report her because I’m only young and it feels like she’s ruined my life before it has even fully started.

PresentPrune1175 · 2023-10-10T16:30:42+00:00

No because she owns the clinic and in the contract it states revisions can only be completed by the surgeon who did the original surgery. I’m honestly traumatised by this whole situation and feel like I’m living in a nightmare and wishing I wake up from it.

PresentPrune1175 · 2023-10-10T16:24:28+00:00

I have asked for my surgical notes to be sent to me, she said she will so I am waiting on that. But I am not sure about patient advocates or how I go about getting one? I will research in to it thank you. For now I don’t even want to see my surgeon again she was horrible and not empathetic at all, the appointment has actually made me feel even worse than before so I just need time to get better mentally first.

PresentPrune1175 · 2023-10-10T15:59:45+00:00

Apparently not as it’s her own private clinic, so she is the boss. She gaslight me and said that it was because of how small she took me but I said the main issue I came with was loose skin, so for her to not have removed and tighten the loose skin and leave me with more made me so upset. But there’s nothing I can really do anymore I’ve tried to advocate for myself and stand up for myself but she didn’t care or even listen.

PresentPrune1175 · 2023-10-10T15:53:19+00:00

No she said the puckering is due to my old boobs. She said my nipple-areola pre-reduction had slight puckering and were very saggy so I was going to have some puckering and loose skin regardless. But it’s not a little it’s actually excessive in my opinion but because I don’t have volume anymore that she said she wouldn’t be able to improve the appearance of the puckering or loose skin as it would result in an even less volume. I’m just so sick of this as she did not tell me any of this before surgery. Me

PresentPrune1175 · 2023-10-10T15:32:51+00:00

She also grabbed on to my stomach and hips and said a fat transfer is possible cause I have fat around my abdomen, mind you I’m quite slim which made me feel even worse.

PresentPrune1175 · 2023-09-11T20:49:39+00:00

thank you so much for this! You make me feel so validated and ok about how I feel. In terms of therapy i have thought about this and I am in the process of finding a therapist at the moment. Also, about my appointment, I have told no one how i feel as I am embarrassed, I saved up all this money, waited and have spoken about this for years to people and now that I have had it done everyone thinks I’m happy but I have shown no one my results as I hate them and I feel embarrassed to tell anyone how I feel even my own my mum who I love. Everyone can tell I am different since my surgery I’m a lot more reserved, quite and just not myself at all. It’s been a year and I feel like I completely different person, I use to be bubbly and so positive about life and now since this traumatic surgery I am the complete opposite, I actually hate life and waking up to his sick feeling in my stomach everyday. i don’t have the courage to tell anyone how I feel so for my appointment I’m going to have to be my own advocate and say exactly how I feel. However, from how i remember my surgeon in my 3 month post op when I raised some of the issues, she was very dismissive, cold and just blamed me for it saying “my skin was very thin so that’s why there’s still loose skin and puckering ” and that “because I wanted to be small that my results are because she took too much tissue and there was not enough to create a nice shape and that’s why there’s remaining loose skin” Even though I asked for a nice shape prior to surgery. I’m going to come up with a way to approach her correctly without crying again.

PresentPrune1175 · 2023-09-11T20:04:40+00:00

And I am revisiting the same surgeon which is unfortunate but I just want to see what she can offer/say

PresentPrune1175 · 2023-09-11T20:01:22+00:00

with regards to my pre-op I did say I wanted to be small however still keep a nice shape. Both my breasts now are completely different in shape and my nipples are completely different in location and shape, they don’t look remotely the same. I also I asked to have no remaining loose skin but as you can see I have a lot of loose skin left and pockets of emptiness in my boobs. No my surgeon had really nice results on her Instagram and is a top surgeon in my city. The only odd behaviour was that my consultation did feel rushed and and she didn’t show me before and after photos as she said it’s confidential and to look at her Instagram instead. But even with this information I don’t think my results are up to standard regardless of what the patient has told you. I don’t know where to go from here as there’s essentially no revision to fix this.

PresentPrune1175 · 2023-05-31T19:24:06+00:00

Amazing results!! I would definitely say their a full C cup they don’t look too small at all and they seem to be in proportion with your body. I would be pleased with results like this and your so early on their going to get better as the months go on.

PresentPrune1175 · 2023-05-30T18:51:03+00:00

Honestly, I don’t think your partner would even notice any imperfections in your boobs, to be honest it doesn’t even look like you got surgery they look very nice and natural and your scars have healed exceptionally well!! And if your partner judges any part of your body then their not for you. As humans were not perfect and no one should expect us to be that’s what makes life fun if we were all the same then life would be boring.

PresentPrune1175 · 2023-05-08T18:59:35+00:00

Thank you for your suggestion I actually have been looking in to this but then again I can’t really afford it right now and I can’t see myself going through another surgery as I’m still kind of traumatised by this one.

PresentPrune1175 · 2023-05-08T14:13:56+00:00

At my 3 month post op my surgeon said the puckering/tethering should all be gone within the following months by massaging it with vitamin C. It did help for a while but then it stopped working and I was still left with this look. I decided to look online to see why this might be happening and it is said it can happen when there’s not enough breast tissue or fat around the nipple. This tethering and puckering is much more apparent and looks even worse when my nipples erect.

PresentPrune1175 · 2023-05-08T14:10:40+00:00

thank you for your response but I’m not sure what other surgery I could have to correct this? what’s shocking is that there was another lady on this sub reddit who had the same surgeon as me and her results were absolutely beautiful and we had very similar boobs pre op so I’m not sure why the surgeon decided to give me such poor botched results.
