I healed beautifully, had no complications and the end result was more than I could ever ask forTwo years later the military took us to Hawaii where I decided I wanted to get breast implantsAfter a consult with DrP [redacted] 's office I decided to schedule to have my surgery done, which I did in December I had read reviews that DrP [redacted] didn't have the best bedside manner but that didn't matter to me as long as the surgery was done rightThe day of surgery I was placed on a rolling table in a regular room in his office at [redacted] ***After getting the IV inserted and given meds I was rolled into a small room with a huge bright light and lots of plastic drawers, etcI remember freaking out and beginning to cryThe next thing I remember is being put in my husbands vehicleMy husband said I slept most the way home and most the rest of the dayI don't remember much at all to be honestI do remember waking up the next morning in extreme pain (which was expected after a breast augmentation)Later on that day my husband took me to my appointment with DrP [redacted] where he removed the bandages and examined my [redacted] He cleaned the incisions and said everything looked goodHe told me I needed to clean the incisions with peroxide and ointment three to four times a day and cover the incisions with gauze and medical tapeHe told me he sells a kit with everything I need for just $I walked out with my $white paper bag full of whatever and went on my wayLater on when it was time to clean the incisions I pulled out my "kit" that I purchased from the doc's office earlier that dayI was pretty disappointed when I found Wal-Mart Equate brand ointment, a box of crappy gauze and some "medical" tapeThere was probably $tops worth of stuff in the bagBut whatever, I wasn't going to a store for stuff to clean an incision a day after a breast aug anywaysA couple days later I started to get worried about the coloring and bruising of my [redacted] Within the first week poI had different colors from bluish-purple, black and yellow around my [redacted] , my [redacted] and yellowing all the way down to my private areaDoctor said: some people bruise more than others and its normalHe had me go several weeks wearing no bra and wearing a super tight band around the tops of my [redacted] to get them to "drop"The right breast was already beginning to get hard and not wanting to dropDrP [redacted] had me start wearing the band diagonal over the right breast (to push it down) and under the left breast (since it had dropped)I hated going out anywhere bc my chest looked deformed wearing that dang band like that but I wore it anywayI started getting skin rashes and skin bleeding under my right armpit from the band digging in my skinAnyways, my left breast seemed perfect while the right one just got firmer and began to hurtI started getting "shooting" pains in my right breastIt would feel like a "sting" at times too At a check up, DrP [redacted] performed a closed capsulotomy (which at the time I didn't know that's what it was)He used his palms and squeezed the crap out of my right breastI heard a pop and it hurt so bad but yet felt better at the same timeAfter, he told his assistant to schedule me for regular ultrasound massage treatmentsShe quoted me over $for the treatments which I declinedLater I called another doc and told him what DrP [redacted] did and he explained to me what closed capsulotomy is and that it not only risks rupturing the implant but also voids out the warranty of the implantAnd to top it off it only gives temporary relief, which was true bc it started right back up with firmness and painThis other doc also explained to me that the ultrasound treatments were not proven to work so I didn't feel so bad for rejecting them I remember Christmas Eve I was trying to help my husband put up our kids trampoline that Santa brought them but instead I ended up crunched over crying on the ground bc of the pain from my [redacted] It got to where I couldn't mop my kitchen without having severe painDrP [redacted] told me to try using my left arm to do things including carrying my purseHe started giving my steroid injections in my right boobHe said it would help dissolve the scar tissue over timeAfter three different appointments with injections (another $70+ each visit) I could feel the "bag or implant" when I touched under my breast so DrP [redacted] said he couldn't do anymore steroid injections and my appointment ended with me walking out with a quote for another $to release the capsuleI'd already paid $for the initial breast aug, $for a so-called kit, $in steroid injections, and$for the breast bandAnother $seemed crazy to meI went home and did my researchI decided to schedule a consult with another cosmetic surgeon for a second opinionI called DrP [redacted] 's office to request my op reportThey refused to give it to meI told them I was having severe pain and wanted a second opinion and I needed my recordsThe office staff then told me they'd have DrP [redacted] give me a callAfter an hour long phone conversation with DrP [redacted] I decided to go have a sit down with himHe told me to come by his office at after closing bc he'd be doing paperwork and have time to sit and talkI took my friend with me bc I was already uncomfortableWhen I showed up he had a stack of papers of cases from other patientsI guess he wanted to defend what I told him I read on the InternetHe told me about cases that he settled at $25,(which he called "shut up money") and how the people who brought suits against him had other "issues"I told him I don't want anything from him but for him to make it rightI told him that I was really uncomfortable with the amount of bruising I had from the first surgery and that I felt like he was rough with me or uncaring while I was on the operating tableI also told him I was worried about how when I called other cosmetic surgeon's offices that they all knew who he was from correcting surgeries that he performed on patientsHe told me that if I helped him he would help meHe told me he doesn't need other cosmetic surgeon's offices bashing his name and he wanted to put a stop to itHe told me if I told him who and what was said that he'd do the surgery for me to release the capsule and waive all the fees except for the anesthesiologist fee which was $I was in extreme pain most of the day every day, I couldn't care for my children they way a mother should and I felt so uselessAnd after all the money I'd already paid DrP [redacted] I couldn't afford to pay another $so I took the offer for the $He told me he would go through the same incision at the nipple, pull the implant out and cut out the capsule then replace the old implantHe said there was no need to replace the implant so he didn'tI felt like he was treating me better and acting like he cared and wanted to help me At my appointment to remove the sutures I told him I didn't feel like the sutures were ready to come outYou could still see some "openings" of the incision between the suturesHowever he said the sutures were ready to come out and he instructed his assistant to take them out so she didShe bandaged it up and told me to cleaning it and put fresh ointment and a new bandage on it the next morningThe next morning when I woke up I was in an extreme amount of painWhen I took the bandage off I saw the most horrifying thing ever! About half of the incision had busted openI immediately called DrP [redacted] 's office who told me to come in immediatelyDrP [redacted] gave me a couple numbing shots around my nipple, left me to sit for minutes, came back and stitched it back up, then sent me on my way with an RX for PercocetFor the next month I had fluid leaking from my nippleI worked in a call center and had to take breaks every hour to change the padding on breastI remember being stuck on a call and the fluid leaking through my shirtI ended up staying in my cubicle the rest of my shift since the right side of my shirt was wet like I was a breastfeeding mother! By the 3rd month after the 2nd surgery scar tissue had formed againIt's now been months since the last surgery and my right breast is as hard as it was beforeI'm now being treated by an amazing Doctor here in Colorado who says I'm now at a Grade III ccI'm scheduled to have my 3rd surgery next month to hopefully correct this problem that I have I understand that capsule contracture is a risk when having a breast augmentation and that no doctor can predict who will or will not develop ccHowever, I don't understand why DrP [redacted] refused to give me my op report even when I offered to pay for it, I don't understand why he can't keep employees (the girl who I talked to today at his office when requesting my op report again told me she was new and bare with her as she's still learning)Now I will say that I liked Rose (one of the ladies that worked in his office in when I had my first surgery)However, DrP [redacted] told me: Roses pisses people offAnd Rose no longer works thereThen there was another girl who worked there who I can't remember her nameAfter my first surgery she was the one to show me how to preform the breast massages, etcShe no longer works for DrP [redacted] eitherAfter my 2nd surgery with P [redacted] a lady named Kanani worked for himI really liked herHowever, she no longer works for him eitherWhy does he continue to go through employees? Yes, I'm aware he's had students in his office but these ladies were not students! Now when I search him online I find cases and lawsuitsLady from Big Island wins breast surgery suit....$100,000, numerous complaints (including that he's not board certified even though he says he is), no bedside manners, cigarette breath (I've experienced this from him myself), rudeness, blah blah blah Now to elaborate more on the board certification: I confronted him with this before the 2nd surgery which he pulled up some website to show me he is board certifiedWell, I'm no doctor or surgeon and don't know a whole lot about board certificationAfter talking to another doctor they checked for me and showed me that DrP [redacted] is NOT a board certified plastic surgeon through the American Society of Plastic SurgeonsI went home and checked again on the American Society of Plastic Surgeons website to find that there are several plastic surgeons certified through this board in Honolulu HawaiiHowever, DrP [redacted] is NOT on that list!
