For those of you thinking of getting implants..I advise against it., and am posting some photos of my recovery after having these cold things taken out. Be your own beautiful natural self ..don't follow the crowd. It's a high price to pay..

Well they still have scarring but i had a revision in October so that slowed the healing process. I am so so happy to be natural again. I feel more feminine, petite and healthy. I love how they look even with the scarring they still feel warm, soft and i'm very happy with the shape. :)

I cannot say enough good things about this caring doctor!! I chose Dr. Barrera, because he has removed implants before and understood perfectly when i told him i wanted them removed "en block", A: I have had them in for more than 15 years B:. Given the fact they are textured they will have adhered to my own tissue. He also showed me photos of removed implants and his breastlift work. I feel very confident in his abilities. One of two doctors wanted the same fee, but showed me no before or after photos, and didn´t give me enough information. The third doctor who is a personal friend felt that it would be difficult to remove them without poor aesthetic results, and didn´t want to risk our friendship. I am very pleased with my results. The hospital and after care were exceptional.
