The road to revision....!

You had pocket revision given as one of your options would you still be covered if you have that,is there a reason why James did'nt think it would work first time? Surely if done correctly it should work ,must be lots of these ops done , can't understand why a surgeon would say they don't think it would work but give it as an option?(didn't Cazzy just get a pocket revision done she could maybe offer advice.Hope you get some resolution as you have paid a lot of money and deserve to be happy with your result! XXX

He said they it very rarely works first time on anyone whose bottomed out, and the third op I'll be paying for.

Caz had a mobile implant and muscles distortion, I helped her build her case with mybreast and frankly the 8 weeks it took to get them to agree were stressful for me, I can't imagine how upsetting it was for her, don't really know if I can be bothered to fight with them again. They truly have some horrible staff!! Xxx

hey hun, how long would you be able to leave it before you defo decide on revision? i know james has agreed that its an option and that you're already unhappy but because you're so early on in your recovery, would it be an option to wait a while longer to see if you have any more changes? i hope it gets sorted for you either way though, i would suggest going back to see james a second time now you've had a chance to get further opinion from the girls on the forum. either way i really hope you get the result you want hun, fingers and toes crossed :) xx

aww huni I feel for you,horrible staff and having to fight for something is the last thing you need,could you maybe ask for a second opinion elsewhere I,m abit sceptical about it not working first time think it may e a more complicated op and that he maybe saying that to put you off that option?when bottoming out occurs early post op it's almost always due to surgeon error in over disecting pocket ,if theres an error been made you shouldn't have to fight to get it put right! Should just be a case of when is the best time for it to be sorted without a drawn out fight that's the last thing you need right now. XXX

If you had the pocket revision, and it didn't work, why wouldn't you be able to have more corrective surgery? And if that is the case why don't you go for the furry's as you will be no worse off if you do have complications with them. Either way you will still end up paying for a 3rd surgery!! How is dove getting on? Has she seen him yet?? X

I was going to say the same as Lisa.. if you have to pay for the 3rd op what have you got to lose. The implant manufacturer guarantees the implant for 10 years against cc AND against bottoming out. You wouldnt be covered for your surgical fees but the implants are covered under the manufacturer guarantee.

I will only get 1 revision under mybreast for bottoming out

If I go with furry and they rupture I won't have any cover what so ever, mybreast don't use them, and if I didn't have 5k handy to have them replaced I'd have to have them taken out on nhs

Couldn't agree more hun, but if pocket revision isn't going to work, why put myself through it, also with anatomicals the second u go back into the pocket u are at risk of causing further complications and increased risk of rotation which is why he says furry are best option, but cancer and no cover aren't really a risk I'm willing to take lightly xx

The risk of cancer with furrys is unfounded.. you got more chance of getting cancer from eating vegetables as the ground is polluted with more chemicals that cause cancer!

I'm so pleased that James is supporting you xx

Good luck hun xx You'll get there xx

I would go with whatever option is going to give you the best result with the minimum impact xx You'll know which one this is in your heart of hearts xx

I agree with 5stonedown hun, either way mybreast won't pay for a 3rd op, so what have you got to lose? I would go furry all the way, there is no back up to the claim that your at higher risk of getting cancer. And I don't believe it's any higher than if you we're to have any other type of implant. However, it is YOUR choice huni, and one that only you can make xx

I don't get them not paying for a 3rd op if you need it. surly if its a technical issue, its not your fault. They should pay until its right no matter how many ops you need. It seems wro g that your after care is the void.I'd talk to a lawyer. Xx

With the furries, I'll completely lose my aftercare, so if I get a complication that is a risk to my health I'm not covered, ie rupture or cc

Pocket revision what I have to lose is my implant completely! Once u go back into a muscle pocket u open a can of worms, particularly with anatomicals as u increase risk of rotation

The 3rd op thing, they won't pay for a surgery under asymmetry twice, mine isn't health threatening so it comes under asymmetry. Pretty sure they told caz they wouldn't fund any other surgery and her implant was mobile!

I'm just thinking I can live with it, I don't want pocket revision as I don't want to be going through the same ops with no result and different complications, and I don't want to lose aftercare for things that could be detrimental to my health and see me losing my boobs, my friend is going through her 2nd CC and it sounds awful, she's at the stage of having her implants removed completely and its heartbreaking to think I could be in that position after this whole journey

X

how long would you have to decide on having revision hun? just thinking that maybe your boobs will change again soon, its not long since you had the op so you may find that you'll have more changes (hopefully for the better) over the next few months. xx

I'm sorry littlewellies, but it sounds to me like mybreast are a total waste of space!! How they can say bottoming out is asymmetry is beyond me! It's surgeon error therefore regardless of how many times it occurs, it should be corrected!! And free of charge to you!! It's James's error, not yours!! I would seek legal advice hun, because it just doesn't sound right to me x

Littlewellies, I'm so sorry to hear this :( I agree with Lisa. I would be seeking some kind of legal advice if I was not getting the answers I wanted.
If it is surgical error then I can't see why they will not pay. For them to say you get one chance at revision surgery is just crazy! You should be entitled to however many surgeries the consultant feels necessary to correct you.
Do you have your surgical notes? If not then I would be requesting a copy of all of your notes and seeking a 2nd opinion.
Even if you think you have reached a decision on what direction to take, having at least your notes and a second opinion will only confirm to you that your next move is the right one for you.
Good luck lovely. xxx

Ermmm they took about 8 weeks to decide on whether they would pay for cz's but they were pushed by James, so I expect I won't get a decision for 8-12 weeks. I'm not too worried about it at the mo, I go to ibiza in 6 weeks and ill deal with it when I get back xx

afternoon girls!

just wanted to let you know, you were all completely right, i've got legal advice and mybreast have to provide me with what i paid for regardless of the cost to them, might mean going through a failed pocket revision first but in essence if furry brazilian are the only thing that will work they need to provide that and that doesnt affect my original contract with them.....

however, i also have the option to just go through small claims and sue them and get a start on the fund to have them redone after kids.

im so bloody angry with mybreast and the way they have treated me im currently opting for just suing them and making it abundently clear to anyone who thinks of going with them how much of shambles they are

xx

and by the way for anyone else fighting those cowboys - what they don't cover under asymmetry is actually whats known legally as CLINIC NEGLIGENCE......... nearly fell off my chair when they told me, they've picked the wrong girl to mug off this time lol

I think mybreast have treated you and dove appallingly! And if your legal advice was to sue the arses off them then go for it hun!! I hope you get your re op soon, you deserve the boobies you paid for!

ive just emailed the head of customer relations and forwarded my THIRD email i sent to her on 5th May that I had no response on. I'm looking to take it to the media next to see if anyone wants to pick up on the story seems as cosmetic surgery is a hot topic at the mo

i've got to wait for mybreast to come back with their proposal first and then a specialist clinic negligence lawyer will take it on from there, but the solicitor did say i'd be much better to go through small claims myself as the limit had just gone up and they won't want to pay the legal fees

xx

Think the treatment you, Cazzy and Dove have put up with is shocking and sorry that when all you three need your aftercare most they are shunning you =[ hope you get this sorted but glad you arent taking it lying down! X

I would go for it littlewellies! You have nothing to lose. I'm sure there is a paper that would love to stir the already fragile plastic surgery pot!! Good luck x

Sorry to hear you bottomed out Hun, I had pocket revision and so far all seems ok and that was 7 months ago and with a bigger implant. I'd be interested to hear as to why he doesn't feel pocket revision works first time.

X

Sorry to hear what has happened, im glad though that your sticking up for yourself though (even though you shouldn't have to). Good luck and i hope you get the answers your looking for asap xx
