After spending 7 months researching, I decided to go to Dr. Gary Brownstein for breast augmentation. I first heard about him in a local magazine here in Cherry Hill, New Jersey-- that he specialized in breast surgery, revision breast surgery and mastectomy. At that time I didn't know nor did I imagine that there were so many victims who had been permanently disfigured by this doctor. Just 'google' him and check the results of the first few pages.
Dr. Brownstein seemed very confident and assured me that he could give me a result that looked natural. I only wanted one size more. Going to this arrogant doctor has been the worst mistake of my life and I cry every day. My implants are now shifting and getting closer to the armpits. I have horrible incisions, my nipples are lopsided and I can't use a swim suit anymore.
I was a semi-professional swimmer and living with these implants is a nightmare. I have travelled all over South Jersey to find a doctor capable of fixing this mess, but most plastic surgeons do not want to touch me because Dr. Brownstein caused nerve damage, too. Needless to say, my dating life has been tremendously affected also and I feel very self conscious wherever I go. Even if I have to try a dress on, my breasts just don't look right-- even with clothes on.
I'm very disappointed that nothing has been done to stop Dr. Brownstein. He still performs surgeries and leaves patients unhappy and then puts the blame on them. Please,please, please, if anybody knows of any Doctor who can fix this mess, drop me a line. Perhaps I will have to go to Philadelphia or New York. I'm willing to pay any amount of money to look normal again. I've been very unlucky with plastic surgery and wouldn't wish this fate on my worst enemy. Myrna Freedman
