Breast Symmetry- I just wanted to look normal.

I initially went to Dr. Van Laeken for breast symmetry. I had a breast reduction on my right and an implant over the muscle on my left side. The surgery resulted in symmetry in size but she reduced the areola on one breast but not the other. I wanted to look normal and after the surgery I again had another issue with symmetry. She did three subsequent procedures to correct the areola that she initially hadn't reduced. The procedures were sloppy and I look terrible and now have nerve sensitivity in one nipple. Years later after weight loss due to a medical issue, I once again had a symmetry issue. I now needed a breast implant in the breast that I had reduced. Dr. Van Laken did the surgery, this time, she replace the implant and left one under the muscle and one implant over the muscle. The sizing was off significantly, so I had another surgery to reduce the size of the new implant on one breast. Now my nipples don't align. I hate how I look.
