    Default Nationwide Recommendation for BA drs? Scar Revision + Redo. 10k limit

    So I got my boobs done in November 2010. I got 350cc silicone under the muscle, crease incision. My scars are really bad, super visible, and not really in the crease. I started off as flat as my back so i guess my PS couldn't really guess where my "crease" would end up. my scars are a little longer and as stated, not in the crease.

    I'm pretty upset about this. I already spent 7k and a scar revision & boob re-do I'm sure will be at least that. But oh well, nothing I can do except do better research this time and get them re done. I know I will make more money and feel better about myself once they are fixed.

    Can anyone recommend a good doctor near Boston, Massachusetts for a scar revision and breast augmentation re-do? Or any advice in general?

    I'm really hoping to spend less than 10k. Ugh, thinking about that makes my stomach turn.... 17k for boobs is almost a down payment on a house... :/

    **EDIT** added pic of my actual scars instead of a pic i found online... low quality cell phone pic but here it is...

    returning to the same doctor who did your BA originally will be far less expensive than going to a new doctor !

    My boyfriend and I decided that its best for him to not mess it up again. Once is enough lol. He did offer to do a free scar revision and go bigger if I wanted to buy the implants but I don't want to make the scars worse :/ I met another girl dancing who had them done by him and her scars were just as bad. I think he is just not a good PS.

    Honestly? Go south. I'm from your area and still am waiting on some boobies. I've looked and looked around here and NE and, despite the amazing face doctors we have, cannot think of anybody to recommend to you in good conscience. There are better doctors for much cheaper, elsewhere.

    where in the south would you recommend? I'm basically willing to go anywhere as long as they are not fucked up again. I love the shape but the scars are just horrible and I'd rather be flatty patties then fake boobs with a big nasty scar on them.

    ok, at this point, i'm willing to take suggestions to go anywhere... i just want the best I can get for under 10k.

    **edit: i've gotten recommended to go to dr volpe. if anyone knows anything about his breast augmentations/redos please let me know also!

    thank you all for your help and input <3

Regardless, if you still go with another BA you should plan on getting laser scar removal around 6 months-1 year PO and in the meantime use Mederma & silicone strips every day.
    Hi botm, yeah my 1st ps offered me unlimited laser scar removal appointments, but the laser (at least the one he has) only targets red abd brown pigments. Which is great for discoloration but the white part of the scar is very thick and wide. A little thicker than a piece of spaghetti and about 2.5 inches long and above the crease... are there different kind of lasers out there that could break up that white pigment?

    And I figured if I'm gonna get full on surgery I might as well go bigger, I hav 350ccs and since I was flatty patty before I'm only at 34c.

    I've heard good things about Dr. Volpe, he's very popular, and I want to meet with Dr Shektman in Wellesley as he uses high profile for a super perky look and I'd be curious what he'd recommend for me. Dr Fox is in the south shore and I know he is very popular too. My first surgeon was Dr Gray in Portsmouth, NH and he does the most natural looking augmentations I've ever seen using moderate profile and seamless areola incisions and is just great all around. But he is not a fan of fake looking boobs at all.

    I went to dr gaudet in portsmouth and a friend went to dr gray after I got mine done and her scars wee better a week after surgery than mine are 16 months after. Ughhh. Live and learn I guess. But it was an expensive lesson. Ill look into all those doctors, thank you so much!!

    Dr. Revis, Fort Lauderdale. FL.

    I got 325 silicone under in Oct 2010, from A cup. I went from Canada to see him. Since Oct 2010, I had no problems at all and my scars didnt cause any problems. You should really e-mail him with your BA pictures and the scar, let him know the problem and what he will suggest. He is really good at revisions, plus his price should be under 5k for revision. He has a personal e-mail so its not like the assistant will be replying or someone else in his office. He deals with a lot of traveling clients, Im sure within the same day you could travel back since revisions are easier on the body compared to a BA if first time.

    Yay that honestly sounds ideal and I am definitely going to check out his website! My bf wants me to stay as local as possible in case of complications, but can you tell me about your experience with travel plastic surgery? how did that work out? thank you so much <3

    It doesnt hurt to email him, he will still advise on whats to be done... You can take his advice and information to another PS and compare. I talked to him and his assistant all over e-mail, maybe 2-3 months prior to surgury then booked an appointment. They told me most of their travelling clients stay 3 days, 1 consultion, 2, surgury, 3 check up. Then recovery is all over email. I stayed 7 days just to be safer. They will advise you on how many days you should stay whether you getting a revision or something else. All the staff was great and friendly, the hospital was top notch, lots of staff and comforting. He ususally uses the same hospital and staff most times. My experience was great, since this will be your 2nd BA, and not yours 1st, itll be much eaiser on your body and not as painful.

    well, if it helps, right now I'm a 34c, 350cc silicone under the muscle. i'd like to get a scar revision and re-do and if possible (without fucking up my scars again -____-) go to a 34dd. I've already gotten some great recommendations on this thread and in PM's but the more the better!! Will probably schedule consults this summer and get them done in November... Thanks ladies

    My close friend went to revis and tried to talk me into going with him, but she had to do like 3 redo's...I'm like why would I go to someone your having so much problems with. Although many girls swear by him.
    Here's my story.

    I just got done with my third redo last week. I went from 575saline to 1000 saline to 800 silicone. Go with the best dr u can find! I wish I had in the first place id have nicer boobs an more money. The first ones were 3500,then5500,then 7500. The last dr had to do major reconstruction to the breast pocket because it wa so streched out and the implant actually sat in the wrong position.but it looks so much better even after a week they sit closer together and aren't coming out my armpits. My dr is in Florida pm me if u want his name.

    I don't know anything about him but what I do know is that plastic surgeons deal with complete crazies all the time. I worked for one of the best surgeons in the world (he was based out of LA) and he had bullshit cases brought against him on more than one occasion. Body dismorphic disorder is an ugly thing. There is nothing you can do to make these people happy and often time they sue.

    I've heard a lot about Revis at work, and I work in Broward. IDK, I never went for a consult with him. I always recommend my doctor, Dr. Ary Krau who works out of Bal Harbor. I have a thread here with pics of my boobs which I'm actually going to go update right now.

    I've never heard anyone bad mouth my doctor. A lot of girls want to go to him for boobs nose. One girl wants her nose so bad but thinks its too pricey. I'm going to go with Dr. Krau for my nose as well, hopefully next month when school starts again.
