Breast Augmentation Revision Testimonial

Secondary Cosmetic Plastic Breast Surgery for Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, & Washington DC

Corrective Breast Surgery

Words cannot express enough how very grateful I am to you for giving me back my self esteem and confidence after 4 prior corrective breast surgeries that produced terrible results. After these failed attempts I was left financially and emotionally depleted, and lost all faith in cosmetic surgery. Until I met and spoke to you I somehow knew you were the one to restore my faith and confidence again in my one last attempt. I am glad I followed my instincts...because of you I feel like a "whole" woman again and would not hesitate at all in having you perform any other cosmetic surgeries that I would want in the future. Thank you for all you've given back to me!

Secondary Breast Surgery

11yrs ago I had a breast augmentation with saline breast implants placed above the muscle. I did not research at all, I just went to a Doctor that someone else I knew went to also. Initially I was happy because I had breasts but it didn't take long for me to find a lot of problems. I could really feel the breast implants and saw some rippling on the sides when I would bend forward. They became harder and less "moblie" if that makes sense. Basically they really felt fake.

After 2 kids and breastfeeding back to back, my skin was wore out and I needed at breast lift. I started reasearching a year before I even spoke to anyone about it. I immediately found Dr. Brown's website and was very interested because he specializes in secondary breast augmentation. Virginia at first seemed a little far since I lived in Pennsylvania but I still was very impressed with his website. In November of 06, my one breast implant started leaking. I slowly noticed it shrinking and I had bad rippling. So I new it was time. I made an appointment with Dr. Brown and drove to Virginia. The drive was not bad at all. Only 1 hr. and 45 minutes and the drive was nice. The staff were very friendly and Dr. Brown was so professional and very informative. He spent a great deal of time with me during both my appointments especially when I was trying to decide the right size for me. I immediately felt that this was the surgeon to do my procedure.

My surgery would not be that easy. I needed implants removed, scarring removed, silicone breast implants placed under the muscle now(previously placed above) and a bilateral lift. This is not something I would want just any plastic surgeon to do. It was very easy to find plastic surgeons to do breast augmentations, but if you were looking for secondary or revision breast implant surgery, it was not as easy. His website went into great detail about this subject.

The nurses at the hospital where the surgery was performed were so nice and they all told me how wonderfrul Dr. Brown was and if they needed surgery he would be the one they would choose. Being a nurse myself, this was so important to here. Working with surgeons, you really get a feel for what type of person they are and how their patients do afterwards. My surgery went fine, I had some nausea and vomiting after I went back to the hotel in the evening but when Dr. Brown called and found out, he immediately called a prescription in to a nearby pharmacy to help me out.

The post op check-ups went very well and again he spent a great deal of time with me since I was not local and could not just "pop in" any time I had a question or problem. The staff were also very helpful with any questions or phone calls I made. My breasts are so soft and look very natural now. I am amazed at the difference. ( Just like Dr. Brown told me ) Moral of the story: Traveling to VA was the best decision I made. It was worth every mile, there is a ton of things to do there and a million hotels to choose from. But most importantly, there is a great surgeon located there! I will soon be going back for my 3 mth check up and to get my "after" pictures taken. I can't wait to see the difference! I already know how much better I look and feel. I am also excited to see Dr. Brown in person and thank him again!

Breast Augmentation Revision

In June 2003, I had breast augmentation performed by a plastic surgeon (other than Dr. Michael J. Brown) in which I was left with significant asymmetry, nipples that were far too low and a "dent" (nipple overhang) in my right breast. Subsequently, three revision surgeries were required (performed by the same surgeon) with each procedure adding a myriad of additional problems to the mix. The first revision resulted in a severe double bubble and greater asymmetry. The second revision neither corrected the asymmetry, the original indentation or the, now, too low crease in the right breast. Further, this procedure added wide, highly visible, palpable scars which did not improve over the next three to six months and which were compromised by the tightness of the stretched skin. The final revision merely compounded the problem of this compromised scar tissue-there was now the possibility of the implant breaking through. I had spent a year and a half being stressed, anxious and obsessed (do I need to say depressed) over worry about what my breasts would look like next. I came to Dr. Brown in the fall of 2003. I was at once put at ease by the unhurried and extensive consultation and reassured by his empathic nature and concern. I was, as well, confident of his clear expertise and experience in plastic surgery. The result of my surgery (November 2003) bore evidence to his skill as a surgeon. His surgical skill and technique is even more notable considering the extent of the pre-existing damage that needed to be repaired. Smaller implants were put in to bring my breast into proportion with the rest of my body. The creases in both breasts were raised, the existing scar was excised and a keyhole lift was done to position my nipples properly. I could not be more delighted. I will be moving to Maine in the spring but have already made plans to return to Northern Virginia for additional plastic surgery by Dr. Michael J. Brown. He has earned my trust as a healer, a surgeon and as an exceptionally fine and kind human being.
