I have been wanting a breast reduction and lift for years and kept putting it off because of work and putting family first. I finally decided to take the leap and give myself relief from the constant back and neck pain that I knew wouldn't get better with time. I had a consult with Dr. Edward Melmed in Dallas Texas a trusted physician I have known for years from working in the medical community. His consults are strait and to the point. No B.S. I will say this, he is such

I had 425 cc implants placed under the muscle in March of 2011. When I had them done, I wasn't active and didn't really think they would ever bother me. Boy was I wrong. I started working out and lifting weights later that year. During that first year, I notice the right one was starting to harden and move. The implant was moving up and towards the center and my breast tissue and pec muscle was moving towards my armpit. When I flexed it got worse. As time went on, I continued

After having breastfed all three of my kids, my boobs had completely changed. So I decided to do what I never thought I would, get implants. Within 6 months of having them done I wanted them out. They were huge, the size of my breastfeeding days if you will! I changed the way I dressed to hide them and my right one lost all feeling. My shoulders, back and neck were always sore.

I did enjoy having them and they were a huge confidence booster through my 20s. I had my first child at 24 and nursed her for one year. My breast changed. They were

After being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and researching the causes, I concluded that my 12year old saline implants were making me ill. I am very healthy,eating an organic vegetarian/vegan diet. I exercise, am 5'8" and 135 lbs. I can only conclude that the implants were impacting my health. I read reviews of several doctors on real self and came across Dr Melmed. I scheduled a consult, did not seek a second opinion. I scheduled the procedure after my consult. My husband

I have had implants since age 30 and I am 61 now. I had no idea there were real, positive options for removal until recently. I was diagnosed with autoimmune disease about 10 years ago, but started to have noticeable symptoms about 7 years after my first implant. I am currently positive by lip biopsy for Sjogrens and also borderline lupus. My first implants were ruptured for over 10 years and all my doctors, including the rheumatologist said they were harmless. They aren't. My

Hi Lovely Ladies! Thinking of you when writing this, thank you so much! I appreciate each and every one of you! So God bless you all, you have both moved and inspired me! You have all been so influential in shaping my decision to make it a top priority to move forward to remove the silicone implants that have without a doubt contributed to a long list and host of health issues for way too many years. The implants have been in my body now for 34 years. They are definitely ruptured.
