My review is long, so I will give a quick summary;
I went to LCPS for a Breast augmentation and a lift. I was left with crooked nipples (almost one inch apart), a dent in one breast, horrible scars (visible in most swimsuits and bras) and really small breasts. I was expected to pay to fix my uneven nipples, Dr. Hensel does not stand behind his work and he does not care about his patients satisfaction.
Here is the long version, please read if you are considering a BA with LCPS
I do not have anything positive to say about my experience with Low Country Plastic Surgery. Dr. Hensel does not stand behind his work. I feel he does not genuinely care about his patients being happy or listen to their wants, I was just a pay day. He gets paid ahead of time and if you don't feel you got the results you discussed in your consultation, there is not much you can do.
I went to LCPS for a breast augmentation and a lift. I was left with crooked nipples (almost one inch difference), small breasts, HORRIBLE scars, a dent in one breast-and I had to pay for a second surgery to fix the abnormalities caused by my original surgery.
After discussing my issues with Dr. Hensel he determined he could lower my nipple to make them even (remember, I paid for a lift, now I am paying for him to lower my nipple back to its original position because that was easier and cheaper for him) he also hoped the revision would fix my dent (it didn't). I was expected to pay $1,000 for this revision surgery!! They did negotiate it down to $500 however, I feel it should have been free because these issues were created from my first surgery. They were very quick to tell me how they were doing me a favor, and he was losing money. I paid for a lift and was left with nipples that were almost one inch apart, that is not a minor asymmetry, that is a very big deal. During the revision, I opted to only use a local anesthetic, meaning I was fully awake and fully aware, not once did Dr. Hensel sit me up, which he said he would, to make sure I was even. I wonder if he sat me up during the original surgery when I was not conscience, like he said he did and swore they were even?? During the revision surgery as soon as he was done sewing me up, he walked out. While the revision did even out my nipples (for the most part) it DID NOT fix the dent in my breast. If I want to have him try again, I will be expected to pay for a THIRD surgery. Dr. Hensel clearly does not stand behind his work. He makes it very clear he has to cover costs and staff but in my opinion I already paid for the cost of supplies and his nurses with my first two surgeries. The staff at LCPS, were very rude. They expressed several times that both of my surgeries were elective-not required, making it seem as if this was my fault I was back because I chose to have a BA in the first place.
I also have HORRIBLE scars. Three of my sisters have had BA since I have had mine and their scars are not noticeable. Mine are visible in most bathing suits and bras. I was told you would not be able to see them. My sister showed my scars to her dr and they were horrified! They said I would need shots and if I were their patient they would be fixing it free of charge.
My sisters and I all had the same procedure with different doctors and VERY different results, please, please,please look elsewhere if you want to be happy with your results. I am 100% unhappy with my experience and results from Dr. Hensel.
Last but not least I want to discuss my size. LCPS advertises the braless look! I described i wanted fake looking breasts. I wanted the full, round cleavage that only a BA can give you.I wanted them to look like I paid $8,000 for them. I repeatedly asked if I was being realistic with my goals for this surgery and Dr. Hensel repeatedly assured me my goals were obtainable with the size implant he suggested. Dr Hensel suggested 300cc I picked 385cc, the biggest offered to me and my results are wildly disappointing! My breasts are not even as big as they were pre baby and I still don't have cleavage. I wasted my money. Dr. Hensel didn't really listen to me, he just gave me whatever implant he felt like. Now I am left feeling worse about myself and like a fool for trusting him with my body. When I asked about implant exchange I was told $3,500 over the phone but when I went to the office I was told closer to $5,000. So now I am out $8,000 and trying to figure out how to hide my scars all summer. Before my surgery I was so excited to wear a bathing suit this summer.. Now I am left dreading it, hoping I can find a decent swimsuit to cover my scars.
Dr. Hensel mutilated my body, please do not trust him with yours. read more
