Hate to See You Ladies Go, Thank God!

And by ladies, I think you know I mean my giant boobs. I am an RN who has years of experience in plastics and frankly...I should have listened to Dr. Melmed in the late 90's when he warned me about getting implants. He was right. They were a bad idea, although for years they looked good, and I was able to experience the life of a busty woman. Good times. Fast forward 16 years, 20 (okay 25) pounds, and two children later. The "girls" were huge, heavy, and I hated them. Even worse, I had serious autoimmune symptoms, back pain, and this constant stabbing pain in my neck. I couldn't wear a dress! It's tough to dress a body that has ridiculous, huge breasts on a 5'2" frame. I never planned for my chest to be this big. I had no idea that my body would change so much after having children. So, finally called Dr. Melmed again, after many years. He did not put the implants in. I worked for a friend of his, another Dallas plastic surgeon (very talented surgeon). But he warned me against it, and I distinctly remember rolling my eyes when he walked away after telling me that breast implants would make a mess of my little body, and look ridiculous. Karma. So 16 years later he agreed to take them out. At that point, I was on implant set number two, silicone. Now they are gone. Best decision I've ever made! I look and feel amazing. I'm back in the gym, and able to buy clothing without stress and tears. My autoimmune symptoms have almost completely vanished. I look and feel 10, maybe 15 years younger with my natural chest. Somehow, Dr. Melmed was able to work with what I had naturally, and I have beautiful, smallish D cups. I thought for sure I would be a full B, which is where I started. I feel like I have been given my life back. You know, I read some really nasty things on this board recently...about Dr. Melmed. It's hard to believe. Frankly, it looks like someone is angry about something, and making him the fall guy. I have known him for many years. All of the nurses at the hospital rave about him too. He has worked on many of us in the healthcare community. He was a professor at the medical school years ago. Other plastic surgeons from around the world, call to ask him how to do things. He has no interest in money, and is really just working because he loves to help people. The man could retire if he wanted to. It's heart breaking, when one of the good ones gets slammed on this website. I know there are wacky people in the world, that want to spread pain and hatred, but sweet Dr. Melmed is the nicest man in the world. He does beautiful work, and he is very sensitive. I guess there are trolls everywhere.
