I Wish I Had Known Dr Straka Earlier
I have been wanting to remove my breast implants for some time, and am SO happy I chose Dr. Straka as my surgeon for this procedure. I wasn't experiencing a ton of BII related symptoms, but I know that my implants had been taking a mental toll. I had a lot of anxiety over their age, whether or not they were leaking, and they also just didn't look good after 17 years with after gaining some weight following the original procedure. I was ready to get back to my more natural body

After a full year of research on explant surgery I felt very confident
I had three different consults with top explant doctors in the Chicago area. After meeting with Dr. Straka in person I immediately knew he would be the doctor I would move forward with. He recently moved from Houston to Chicago and after a full year of research on explant surgery I felt very confident in his expertise and experience. I had my saline implants for 15 years and they were extremely heavy. I breastfed four children as well with them. Both were almost bottoming out

My experience was outstanding
I had an explant with Dr. Straka the end of June. From the time of the first consult to post recovery my experience was outstanding. Dr. Straka's team is professional, caring and thorough. Everything was explained to me and made me feel very comfortable with the procedure. Following my surgery the post operative care went above and beyond. Dr. Straka did follow up calls to check in on me even during the 4th of July holiday weekend. Dr. Straka is a perfectionist in the best way.

I flew to Illinois and have not regretted it once
My experience with Dr. Straka has been exceptional! I researched breast implant removal and surgeons who specialize in them for three years. I chose Dr. Straka because of his knowledge, skill, experience, compassion, and kind demeanor. I also had conversations with many women who recommended him. I could have saved the cost of airfare and hotel if I had settled for a surgeon in Texas but I wasn't willing to settle. My instinct told me that Dr. Straka was the best so I flew to

My breasts looks even better now than they did before or with implant
After searching for and meeting with many Doctors about getting my implants removed, I immediately knew the moment I met Dr Straka he was the one. His team and him were so responsive and thorough for any and all questions that I had, even if it was the weekends. The surgery was fantastic, I opted for no lift at his recommendation and I will say, my breasts looks even better now than they did before or with implants. Dr Straka has called me personally 3 times to check in. He believes

My results look great as do my scars
Dr Straka recently removed my breast implants and I could not be happier with both the care that I received and the results of my surgery. I interviewed several different surgeons in the Chicago area and Dr. Straka was, hands down, the best choice. He took the time to answer all of my questions, did not rush me during my consultation, and made me feel very comfortable in my decision to remove my implants. Through my research, I discovered that Dr. Straka's entire practice is

Was able to remove everything with almost no downtime
I can honestly attest to the fact that this is the BEST Surgeon in the World. I, unfortunately have had numerous surgeries as I was a competitive athlete and had both shoulders repaired as well as a knee. I also had previous cosmetic procedures. Dr. Straka is not only a top surgeon in his field, but an educator and a life saver. He becomes your friend making personal calls and checking up on you- long after the procedure was completed. I had suffered for years from a ruptured

Dr. Straka is an amazingly skilled surgeon
Dr. Straka is an amazingly skilled surgeon. I had explant and lift in June, 2021 and had the best experience from the minute I talked to the office for a consult to the post op visit after surgery. His team is amazing and have been with him for a very long time. I highly recommend him!

Absolute Perfection!
If I had to do it all over, I’d 100% choose Dr. Straka for my abdominoplasty and breast augmentation again! He is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, kind, and professional! After having 6 kids, I waited 20 years to do this surgery for myself. A good friend recommended me to Dr. Straka, and I was very blessed to have found him. He did an exceptional job on my tummy and breasts. Absolute perfection! I’m still in the recovery process, but I can already tell that I’m more than
