Dr. Danielle Leblanc removed my implants enbloc style and did a breast lift. My 25 year old implants were getting hard because of a leak, causing the scar to start forming around the implant and causing capsular contraction. I knew I wanted a female doctor and consulted with doctors in Illinois and the Fort Worth area.
Dr. Leblanc's fee was affordable and reasonable. Dr. Leblanc let me ask all my questions and didn't rush me ( I had 3 pages typed out ). The office atmosphere felt more medical than beauty salonish, which I liked because this is serious business in my opinion. The receptionist and finance person and nurse were all nice, professional and efficient, in their jobs, positions and duties. These personnel were not overly chatty, overly friendly and comforting, but that's not their position. Dr. Leblanc IS however, very comforting. She came off calm confident and casual. Sweet but not sappy. You can tell she takes her job and position, very serious. I liked all of those characteristics.
She works with cancer patients and those who have had their breasts removed. From those patients, came good reviews and results. The Dr. has experience doing these operations and has done many of them.
Dr. Leblanc did the procedure enbloc style ( to get all or as much of the silicone and scar tissue out, so that it can't have an effect on my body and health, later down the line, if it's left in my body )
Dr Leblanc is definitely worth consulting with and considering, if you are having any kind of plastic surgery or procedure.
The after picture is 9 months after implant removal and the lift. My body takes a long time to heal and scars to disappear. I am also a bit over weight. A little lipo on the side of the breasts or under arm would have gotten even a better outcome, but we came to the conclusion that would have to be done after healing from the removal and lift procedure. Because of the stress I felt in the year leading up to this procedure, I am not going to do surgery again unless it's " system critical " and necessary to my health.
The best surprise was that my 3 years of Lower back pain, ( I would lie in my bed every day because of back pain, ) it improved instantly after surgery. It is still improving now, 9 months later.
