Describe my motivation, pros and cons, etc. ...well, I have quite the story! I became very ill and spent 5 yrs looking for a diagnosis of my illness. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis & sent to an MS clinic. Fortunately, I didn't have MS but the dr. said my symptoms were from silicone poisoning and I needed my implants exchanged immediately. I went and had that surgery done in 2008. My 1992 implants were intact and really didn't need to be exchanged. Turned out I had Lyme Disease from a tick bite while camping. From 2008 to 2014 I had scar tissue growing, contracture, mishapen breasts, and pain. My implants were above the muscle. I had no luck finding a local dr. who would operate and put them under the chest muscle. It took 2 yrs of research before I found the best doctor who had the best experience and credentials for revision surgery. Dr Delgado and staff are the most accommodating, pleasant people I have ever met in the professional field. They explain everything up front, they call and keep you informed with every step of your procedure. My pre-op, surgery, and post-op went very smooth. They made sure I was always comfortable and informed of everything going on. I have absolutely no negatives to say about any part of my experience. Of course there is pain, but that comes with having surgery. I highly recommend Dr Delgado to anyone that wants to have something done right the first time! I don't think you'll meet such a warm, caring, personable doctor or staff like that anywhere else. I can't thank them enough for how much better I feel about myself! Thank you just isn't a big enough word! :0)
I also had a few botox shots to kill the frown from squinting, I look much happier! I also had Ultherapy to iron out that crinkly neck that's starting to show I'm 48, ew! Just subtle fixes to make me feel more radiant! ...and it didn't hurt that bad at all! Way less than a tattoo or ear piercing.

I'm glad your story has a happy ending...you deserve it! What type and size implants did you get with your revision? Congratulations and thank you for sharing your story on RealSelf!
Your breasts sound amazing...like you said. Glad the scar tissue was removed and your asymmetry was addressed. Feel free to post some photos...even with clothing is great!
