2 years ago I had a breast reduction by Dr. Sharon Lawson. She was highly recommended by my coworker, so I overlooked that she was board eligible but not certified yet. Right after my breast reduction I looked inside my gown and I saw that one breast was larger than the other. I am an RN and I was concerned and mentioned it to Lawson. I felt we should go back to surgery to stop the bleeding. She tried to put my mind at ease and said that the swelling would go down. It never did. The breast continued to get larger, I'm assuming due to a hematoma. I called the office repeatedly over the next couple of weeks and I was reassured over and over again everything was fine and normal. For a follow up visit the left breast was drained of blood with a syringe. It was painful but did not make much difference. The incision to the left breast eventually open and drained of blood. The hole from the incision continue to get bigger and bigger. The office recommended an ointment and dressing. Eventually I sought out a wound care specialist and made weekly visits until the wound started to heal. I should have been referred to wound care by the surgeon. I felt that they intentionally tried not to make it a big deal and dismissed my concerns. Now I have an ugly scar. My two weeks from work turned into 6 weeks off from work. This ordeal was very painful, stressful, depressing, and it hurt me financially. If you go with a new surgeon, remember to ask how they handle complications.
