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.

5 Weeks
It's amazing how much the body changes in 5 weeks. I DO feel physically better. The horrible spasms I was having in my left side are gone. I can sleep on my side which I struggled with having implants. I am back in the gym. Thank GOD! I feel like the weight of the world has been lifted, literally. The left side is recovering at a different rate. The surgeon who did the implants did a revision on that side (Dr Edelstein) and even after I indicated to him that there were an assortment of issues following the revision it was "the best he could do". That side is still holding on. Regardless, Dr Schiller is incredible. I am grateful for those who lead me to her. And I am thrilled those toxic bags are OUT :)
One Week Update
First of all, how could my original surgeon not have know that he screwed things up?!? Come on. People make mistakes. Admit it for the love of God!!!!! The last 2 years of my life have been completely derailed as a result of this.
At my 1 week post op today all was good. The tissues of my old scars, capsules and implants had been tests by pathologists. The right side was fine. The left, the one that bothered me from the beginning. The one that had the "revision". The same one the removal Dr saw blood vessels running into my armpit as a result of over-disection, also told me today that the tissue samples showed inflammation. Though not cause for concern, but had I not explanted, would have never ended.
What should I do?!?
What a horrible Ba DR. And if you Google and believe in all the social media bull, no one complains.....

Day 2 Bandages Off
Sorry I haven't posted sooner, but I just haven't felt up to it. I took the bandages off today, largely because they were falling off-and I've put them back on as best I could along with a zip up sports bra.
The surgical team was amazing. All women. Dr Schiller reassured me before surgery and the anesthesiologist and nurses were great.
Oddly, in recovery it was found that I have an unusually low heart rate-37 beats p/min, so it took a lot longer for me to be discharged. Something I've been told to look into going forward. May explain why I'm so damn tired all the time.
The Dr explained to me that on the left side, the side I had the revision on, the pocket was so large that she could see the blood vessels running into my armpit. Good God! And my implant weren't even that big by most people's standards. It just makes me more angry with my original surgeon.
She was able to remove the majority of the capsule and said the thickest was in the lower portion of the pocket. The top was thin. Not sure if she removed that area for fear of disrupting my breast tissue. I'll find out Wednesday at my follow up.
I've only taken 1 pic. My incisions are still very sore and I'm trying to do everything to ensure proper recovery. I will post more when I can.
I give all of you lady's love and support if you are going through this. It's a hell of roller coaster. But I am relived :)

Provider Review
Dr Edelstein
Nice man but it was basically an assembly line of breast implants. Paid for the procedure before even having it because one is made to feel that if you don't, you'll never get so much as a consultation. And when discussing sizes, "bigger is better" was very much reinforced. After the augmentation turning out poorly and one subsequent revision, there has been no follow up and my last conversation with the Dr ended in, "they look great" and they won't do anymore. Heather is the best thing about that office. Although Dr E is "nice", once the damage is done, it's done. I would not recommend him. I have been left looking horrible and almost 10k poorer.
