How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Hi,
It has been a while.... still very happy with my boobs. The fat grafts have been well worth it and I suggest that anyone not happy after the first round, goes back for a second round. My boobs still have a great shape and feel completely natural. Never thought I could have these boobs without implants.

Befores and Afters
I found pics taken 14 years ago just after I had my implants replaced. My review tells you what happened afterwards, capsular contracture with strange looking boobs, removal and fat grafts. This is how I look today, thanks to Dr van der Westhuizen. For those implant removal ladies out there, I hope my story has helped you
2 years post removal and 1 year post last fat graft
I want to thank all the ladies on this site for their comments and support. Your own stories encouraged me to finally do what I should have done several years ago. My health is good ( other than having just had a rotary cuff muscle repair after a fall from my bicycle ) vague aches and pains that I had for years are gone, and I like my body a lot better now. These are my own boobs, no more silicone for me. Last but not least I must credit Dr Deon van der Westhuizen for guiding me, informing me, his excellent skills and leaving me with a result that I'm happy with. I hope my story will encourage anyone out there sitting on the fence as to whether they should remove their implants that they should do the research, pick the right Dr and there is life after implants!
Provider Review
Dr Deon van der Westhuizen
Excellent surgeon in Cape Town, South Africa who has been around for a long time. Very informed about the latest research around implants and the problems that come with them, travels overseas regularly to attend conferences and now does fat grafting as well. He often works together with Dr Linda van der Westhuizen who is a brilliant anaethetist. Have had 3 anaesthetics from her. No nausea or dry throat issues.
