I had my breast implants removed bc one ruptured during covid, but I waited until after covid to put back. I liked Dr Crafts care during the 1st surgery, so I had him do it. He changed offices by this time, and the professionalism at that office, was not brought over to the new one. There is an almost flippant attitude in the new office that is kinda scary considering ppl are having surgery. But, since I liked him and my experience removing them was good, I used him again. Removing implants is much simpler than putting back. I also got some lipo on my tummy. Another surgeon discouraged me from doing that, he said the skin won't shrink back. Dr Craft didn't think it would be an issue, but it was. That is still an issue ,I need repaired, my stomach looked better before the surgery. After he put the implants back, the breast that had the ruptured implant, didn't heal correctly, as not all the scar tissue was removed. So I had to wait another 6 months for a surgery to correct this......................................................................... Unfortunately that surgery was a disaster! I was bruised from my breast to my hips, with a bruise that lasted 6 months! I also now have a small puckered scar above the incision. More concerning is that, the newly redone implant did not stay in the pocket, and slid out in the corner. 2 dif Radiologists in a breast clinic examined me, and both were concerned about my safety bc of this. I told Dr Craft what they said, his response was, "It's still in the pocket, I used an under/over method that they probably weren't familiar with". It was a clinic in Newport Beach that did nothing but breast exams, so I'm quite sure, there was no method they hadn't seen......................................................................................... I wanted to believe him over them bc, I didn't want ANOTHER surgery, but I KNEW by how awful it felt, it wasn't in the pocket. I started wearing very tight (too small) compression bras 24/7, and the implant seemed to go back in the pocket temporarily. I told him the really tight compression bra moved the implant back in the pocket. His response was, "Well if it comes out again, you can use the compression bra again"! I was dumbfounded. I thought he was just wrong about the implant not being in the pocket. Then I knew, he did know it wasn't, and was lying...................................................................................................
I lost ALL respect for him after that. I haven't been able to have surgery AGAIN yet to fix it bc of health issues with loved ones.
Now I need to fix it ASAP, bc it's very, very painful. I'm so sick of wearing compression bras 24/7! I've had to do this for the last 3 yrs.
I wouldn't go to Dr Craft for any surgical procedure. Being able to admit you made a mistake, that you don't have the ability to fix it, is necessary in cosmetic work or any surgery. read more
