60 years old with 18yr. old saline implants, in need of explant, uplift or fat transfer

After months and months of pain and uncomfortable feeling it was time to remove the implants which were over the muscle, 325cc saline each. I researched so many doctors in NYC area and one name repeated over and over, Dr. Kevin Tehrani. I made the appointment and he was so patient and explained all the options. I knew I didn't want any more implants and felt he could work with what breast tissue I had. I had also seen videos of his work. I went into the operation 2 weeks later and he did the explant and lift. Pre-explant I was measuring 34DDD, after the surgery and to date I am a 34D with a push up bra. I am thrilled at the results and that I don't have to feel pain or uncomfortable and am natural.

So I had my appointment with the kind Doctor Tehrani and he was wonderful. The entire staff was wonderful. The facility is very sophisticated and immaculate. The office manager was very helpful and really worked with us and our insurance. She was working very hard to see if the insurance would pay for the explant. She said that many of them will. Waiting to hear on that. Dr. Tehrani explained the difference between the breast lift and the fat transfer procedures. The only issue was that he said that he was glad to hear that I was interested in the lift because until he gets in there to see how much breast tissue I have, the results are not always pleasing to the patients with just the explant with no lift. I knew I was interested in the lift as well before going for the appointment. I have been researching these procedures and doctors for months. Getting a bit nervous since we were able to schedule it so soon but, I'm ready to feel natural again and not uncomfortable. I haven't ever been able to sleep comfortably on my stomach but my sides are not feeling uncomfortable as well. I'd love to hear from any one who has had any of the procedures or had Dr. Tehrani as their surgeon. Will keep you posted.

Hello all,
I have enjoyed reading all the feedback and heart felt stories by many other women. I have had implants for 18 years and they are beginning to become uncomfortable and painful. I have enjoyed the fullness and would like to continue some of that fullness with a procedure after the explant; just not sure which one is the best at this point. I am 60 years old and I'm sure with explant surgery my breasts will be extremely deflated even though I was a full "C" before augmentation. If any of you have had either surgery, uplift or fat transfer, I'd love to hear from you. I have an appointment with Dr. Kevin Tehrani in Great Neck after having read other reviews of his work. If any of you have had these procedures done with Dr. Tehrani, I'd love to hear from you.
