    Default Dr. Revis Florida ladies info plz

    Ok, I know there are a few ladies on here who have gone to Dr. Revis. I'm scheduled for July with him. I'm getting a breast revision on my lift and we're adding a internal bra. I'm starting to get worried. I'm seeing alot of negative reviews about him. People saying he's not good. The only issue that I've sorta noticed is his staff isn't as prompt as I'd like. My past surgeon's staff was really on it, but his work just isn't what I expected. Can you can ladies please give me some personal insite.

    I recently got my redo with him. The consultation was alittle rushed, but I was so excited I overlooked a few red flags and now I'm disappointed. I didnt get what we discussed and it was very expensive. The internal bra was PAINFUL. He is quick not to take responsibility for his work and tell you how "fabulous" you look. My scars are more noticeable than last time. He pressured me into silicone (1,000 more), which did not give me the look we discussed. He gave me NO follow up, I was on my own. I want to go back to correct it but Im honestly nervous about going with him again.

    Omg girl, thank you for responding. See this is exactly what has me worried. I've noticed a few red flags myself and was kinda like well... Maybe I'm being to picky. I've already put down 2600 the reserve my surgery date. I think I'm going to try to get my money back. After all these mixed reviews and hearing from you a person completely away from justbreastimplants I've made my decision. I hope everything works out with your boobs. Have you considered maybe sewing him?

    Please dont trust anything on that site.....they have drank the kool aid. Also, I hear that they remove any negative comments concerning Dr. Revis.

    He may refund some of it, but most likely not all.
    I have to admit Dr. Revis is friendly, so is his staff. But, I felt abit of his ego when I told him I was disappointed, which slightly annoyed me.

    I am still healing. I know doctors can not control how you heal from scars, everyone heals differently.

    I think it was a communication issue. I went specifically to him because he does large implants. I should have brought many pictures to give him more of an idea of what I wanted. I think he give me a more natural look, which may have come from me NOT disclosing that I still dance. I got sexy housewife breasts with a sag instead of hot stripper tits (my previous breast aug were saline and round... sat high)...... You have to be clear and reinterate your desires he see TONs of people a day. Even an hour before surgery, he was still asking questions about my desired look....you would think he would have written this down somewhere before hand.

    I think he can deliever if YOU TAKE CONTROL and not let him and his staff sway you. And, if you can get pass that fact you will have very little follow up from the office especially being an out of towner. I guess I was so spoiled from my first surgeon but he was local.

    Also, his office did not give me a supplement that I had quite a hard time locating on my own. Don't put a line through his name just yet. Go to three or four more appts with other doctors and compare.

    No doctor is perfect .....

    Good Luck!!

    I feel that he can deliver, but i feel like he my not be consistent. I'm extremely nervous because hes all the way in florida, and i live in hawaii. So not only would i be paying 10,400, for the procedure i still putting money out for flight, hotel, transportation, meds, its just a large expense. Then with the mixed reviews and something in my gut is telling me to keep looking around. I'm kinda like o shit... unfortunately Hawaii plastic surgeons are out of the question. High prices for lack of expertise. My revision is kind of complicated, which i understand. I'm not so much looking for perfection, i just need my nipples centered on my breast and what not. I'm just asking for a little bit of stripper sexy and practicality thas about it.

    I really am glad I found this post...Are there any other US plastic surgeons who use the internal bra?..I am glad to hear the truth about some girls/ experiences with Dr. Revis. And the cost 10,400...Is through the roof...

    Dr. Pousti, also does the internal bra. He's located in San Diego. He's the surgeon that i'm acttually considering now because its s0o much closer to home, plus his reviews are actually very good. There's alot on the internet about him, he even has youtube postings and what not. The only issue with him i've noticed is its hard to get a straight answer out of him as far as the plan of surgery. It seems like if your case is not straight foward as in just breast implants and your a out of town patient, he trys to make you fly in for a consult. On one hand I appreciate him trying to be so cautious, but at the sametime i feel like it might be a little money making. Because I feel like he's been doing this long enough to know what the problem is when he's seeing pictures and what not. Kinda makes me feel like he's trying to get every possible penny out of the situatuon. I don't honestly know how many people would fly to a Dr, not having any idea what the price maybe. Thas crazy because if i spend X amount of money on a plane ticket then i get there and he wants to charge something crazy like 15 or 17,000 i'ma be piss the f off.

    I wrote Dr. Pousti, Dr. Revis as well as my original PS with pics of my breasts & asking what could be done to correct the slight asymmetry. It looks, basically, as if my right breast never fully "dropped & fluffed" ... prob my fault since I am right handed & started dancing 4 wks after. I had heard great things about Revis & Pousti. Pousti responded at like 6 am to my email from 9 pm but wanted me to call to discuss it. I got lazy and never did. Revis wrote later that day ... threw me for a loop! Said I had capsular contracture in BOTH breasts, needed a lift, an internal bra ... the list went on & on. The quote was like $12,000! I researched for 5 years before I got my breasts done and I'm SURE I do not have CC. My breasts are squishy and soft, not boxy. I LIKE that they sit a little lower on my chest, I ASKED for a slope and hang to them. I actually think the right needs to go down a little, not UP! I was just flabbergasted. My original PS said he would correct it for me for $1800. Definitely going with him.

    He would have to physically examine you but it's possible to be like a level 1 and still have soft breasts. Mine still look absolutely fabulous after 14 years but one does have slight capsulation and you'd never know 2 surgeons told me.

    Before my redo my breasts were pretty far apart and low profile and most people thought they were natural. My biggest concern was bringing them together for cleavage. Dr Revis looked at my pictures and told me I had bottomed out but I know for sure I didn't. Pre implants I never could get cleavage, I just have a wide chest. A local surgeon wanted to remove the implants, stich me up, then put new implants over the muscle. My original saw nothing wrong with them but would switch me to high profile (if you saw my boobs you'd know this would give me two far apart balls..). The one I chose would do the same as an internal bra without calling it that and he said my original went the quicker less complicated route and just put the implants partially under one chest muscle instead of loosening up the chest muscles by my sternum. I paid same price as Dr Revis, but I was in surgery for like 4 hrs maybe more. So what I'm getting at, dr's have their own opinions and idea of what looks good and what procedures they're comfortable doing.. You just have to shop around and do some research to find one on the same page as yourself.

    Update:

    It has been 16 months since I went to Dr.Revis. My breast healed nicely and the extreme bruising did disappear. I get a lot of compliments when I work. I would recommend him if you want XL implants and you are getting a revision, not a first ba. I went from 325cc to 700cc. I am switching from cohesive gels back to saline increasing to 1200cc. He quoted me a price of $9,500.

    I wanted to know if you went through with your surgery with Revis and your results

    My experience with Dr. Revis was positive. Got my 3rd and hopefully final BA from him and the internal bra. I'm happy with the results. (Better be because it was so pricey) If a revision from a bad boob job is what you need he is the best doctor for the job.

    My implants are around 1100ccs...I definitely couldnt afford the $9,500 quote and is nowhere near what I paid for my surgery. I am sure that the cost of the internal bra is thats what u got drives costs up..Plus he is a specialty xl implant PS.

    Honestly, I was blown away when he quoted me $9,500...I am sure it is because of the internal bra (hurt so bad). I know there is a discounted cash price. Every year the price increases. But, when I go for my consultation I will gently inquire about the quote. My first ba in 2001 was $5,400 (Haverback). 2nd one was about 8,400....

    WOw..the cost of BAs in ur area is through the roof...My most recent BA was actually a little less than my first which was many years ago..That internal bra definitely would be nice..My shoulders hurt from the nearly 1100ccs...Ive just gotten used to it..But the almost 10,000 is wayy steep.

    ^^^ a few general comments ...

    Obamacare has enacted a new tax on all 'medical devices'. Breast implant makers must now pay this new tax, thus they have significantly increased to cost of new breast implants across the board.

    Both of the plastic surgeons mentioned are acknowledged large implant 'specialists'. Large implant surgeries, by definition, involve higher risk of complications. This translates into higher costs to these 'specialist' doctors for malpractice insurance. Thus these 'specialist' doctors must charge more for the same procedures than a suburban plastic surgeon who primarily installs small implants for 'housewives' to offset their higher malpractice insurance cost.

    Specialty procedures, like the 'internal bra', require longer surgery times ... thus limiting the specialist doctor's amount of separate surgeries which can be performed. In other words, a suburban doctor could perhaps place small implants in four different 'housewives' in a single day, where the 'specialist' might only be able to complete two large implant surgeries with internal bra procedure. Also, longer surgery times also translate into higher relative costs per patient for surgical nurses, anesthesia etc. which the doctor must typically pay out of his single surgical fee. This is going to translate into a higher price.

    ^ Great! I should of had mine redone 2 years ago. How much has it increased the cost melonie? I should of asked Wednesday when I was at my doctors but I figured since I've sent him so much business and he quoted me almost 2 years ago and they didn't say anything he'd still honor that price. Damn!

    ^^^ Since actual implant prices to doctors are a 'trade secret', nobody but the doctors know ! However, if you are a repeat patient, and the doctor already quoted you a total price, that price might still be honored if you ask !!!

    The new Obamacare tax is 3% of 'total sales revenues' ... which translates into a 15% tax on profit earnings if the profit margin on implant sales was 20%.
