I had a breast augmentation with Dr Bashioum in 2014. I received two recommendations for him and felt confident proceeding after my consultation. Looking back now with knowledge of how other doctors do consults, I should’ve thought twice. Dr B does not involve himself with the decision making process. He leaves it to his nurses, which is okay, but he’s the expert, right?!? It seems as though he doesn’t want the liability of making a recommendation, so he won’t give a sizing opinion.
The day of the procedure, I thought there was a lack of bedside manner. I was nervous which is common before surgery, but I felt like it annoyed them. Surgery itself went fine. I was sent on my way quickly after the procedure. I don’t remember leaving the facility because anesthesia was still in my system. Dr B does not have you wear wrapping or a bra after the procedure. He says nothing supports the need to do so. However, everyone else seems too (even the show Botched). I’d ask more questions about this.
Final result, I was immediately concerned about the lack of symmetry. He dismissed the concern noting breasts are naturally asymmetrical. If he noticed at consult that this was part of my anatomy, I wish he would’ve said. One sits noticeably higher than other other. Friends who’ve had the procedure elsewhere definitely say their doctors addressed and improved symmetry. As I watch Botched this evening, I realize there’s a name for my final concern ‘animation deformity.’ Whenever my pec muscle flexes, my entire breast (both sides) shifts out of place. I’m thin, but don’t workout often (not like I’m a body builder). It can be as simple as opening the fridge or resting on my elbow. My look is natural as I wanted, but I’d never go back to him. There are simply better options in the metro
-from a thirty something, post-kids. Had saline placed under the muscle....I do have rippling along sides and under each breast.
