“Breast Reconstruction After 5yrs. of...”
I am a 55+ yr old woman who has been breast-less for the last 5yrs. After having silicone implants for 26yrs I had them removed 5yrs ago when they began disintegrating in my body. In 1983 I was told they lasted forever so I accepted the changes over the years as they turned into hard balls on my chest. Being flatter than a pancake before, these additions were small but gave my body proportion.... more

I had a very heavy heart as well. He was upbeat about my prognosis, telling me... more
“Great TSA review! Chicago, IL”
Just went through a pat down at Regan International because I don't go through the x-ray machine. I always tell them I've had enough radiation after a double mastectomy and reconstruction. The female attendant told me "you have great breasts, and I have felt a lot of breasts". I said "I have a fabulous plastic surgeon." Thank you again! more
“I Didn't Want to Do It, But...-...”
I am from a family with a lot of cancers, one of which was breast cancer for my mom, sister, and maternal aunt. So when my breast started to "misbehave" (atypical ductal hyperplasia), I knew the wait and see approach wasn't a good answer for me. Two friends from my neighborhood had dealt with breast cancer and had used the team of Bethke and Kim. I went running with my slides and was told that... more
“Best Decision of my Life - Chicago, IL”
Why I chose Dr. Kim? Second diagnosis of early stage breast cancer 6 years a part. My mastectomy was May 19, 2011. I knew what to expect visually, but I had no idea what to expect for after care. First 3 weeks were difficult in terms of arm movement, sleeping and bathing. However, I returned to work in 3 weeks! After my surgeon performed the mastectomy, Dr. Kim came in and installed... more
