Have you discussed this with your plastic surgeon? Most will fix problems, and revisions are usually free, as long as you pay the OR and anesthesia costs. It's worth talking with them at least.

Thank you. I have a appointment with him next week and I am going to  ask him about it, because right know I feel like i went thought that pain for no reason, but I have always told him that I did not like the way they like and he told me to let them heal so it have been a year so I am going to see what he says.

Be sure to see him BEFORE your year is up as some Dr's offer their free revisions only during that first 12 months - hopefully your Dr. will do any revisions at no charge.

Normally, if it's rather obvious, he will suggest it if he's really proud of his work and has integrity.  If he doesn't suggest it on his own, this is not the time to be shy:  just tell him that you're quite disappointed and you're hoping with his revisions he can make it "right".  Sometimes bringing with you either another person who can help you speak up if you're kinda shy wouldn't hurt  - and, maybe even some pics of other patient's brachio results showing him how you'd really like them to end up looking, to make sure you're being realistic.

THANK YOU, No I am not shy at all I speak my mind well, but I already know that he think that he did a GREAT job, because I have talk to him about it before and I ask him could I see my before pic's and he told me to get them from his office and walk out. so I called his office and ask them could they send me a copy and they did not sent them. so this time before I go to my appt. I am going to call his office and tell them to have the pic's in my file so that I can see my before & after pic's. I will let you know what happens I go next week.
