Wonderful Explant Experience

I had an explant surgery with Dr. Sayed in August 2024, and I cannot say enough good things about the experience and the results. I was dealing with a grade 4 capsular contracture, which had caused me significant discomfort and visible distortion. From the very first consultation, Dr. Sayed was compassionate, thorough, and incredibly knowledgeable. He made me feel completely at ease about the process, answered all my questions with patience, and clearly explained what to expect before, during, and after surgery. The procedure went smoothly, and I am beyond happy with the outcome. Not only was the contracture fully addressed, but the results exceeded my expectations both in terms of appearance and how much better I feel overall. Dr. Sayed’s surgical skill, attention to detail, and genuine care for his patients are truly exceptional. I’m so grateful I chose him for my explant surgery—highly recommended to anyone facing similar issues.

Changed my Life for the Better!

Dr. Sayed changed my life for the better. During our first meeting he address all my concerns. He took his time to answer all of my questions for my breast implant removal surgery. I also decided to do a breast lift and liposuction. Scheduled surgery and everything went smoothly. I felt very confident in his team during the process. Post surgery, Dr. Sayed and his team were always available. He made my decision to remove my implants worth it. Wish I had done it sooner! Highly recommended.

Highly Recommend

I highly recommend Dr. Sayed. After 4 consultations I had almost given up on getting my implants out. Dr. Sayed's consultation was by far the most in depth and informative consultation I had. He explained everything in detail, and put my fears and anxiety at ease. I scheduled my surgery after only doing a virtual consultation with Dr. Sayed, I met him in person for the first time on surgery day, that is how confident I was in him. I am 3 months post En Bloc Explant with Mastopexy and I could not be happier! I am so thankful I did not give up on finding an explant doctor. My results have already exceeded my expectations, I look and feel better than I ever could have imagined thanks to Dr. Sayed!

After struggling with BII, I finally feel like I have my life back

I cannot recommend Dr. Tim Sayed enough—he truly is the best in his field. From the very beginning, his expertise and professionalism put me at ease. I underwent surgery to address Breast Implant Illness (BII), and I am thrilled with the results. Following Dr. Sayed's post-surgery protocol carefully, I experienced absolutely no pain, which speaks volumes about his skill and the care he puts into his procedures. What really sets Dr. Sayed apart, however, is not just his technical excellence, but also his compassionate approach. He took the time to thoroughly explain everything, answer my questions, and made me feel supported every step of the way. His staff is also outstanding—welcoming, attentive, and kind, which made the entire experience even better.After struggling with BII, I finally feel like I have my life back. I’m so grateful for Dr. Sayed’s expertise and the incredible transformation he’s helped me achieve. If you’re considering any form of plastic surgery, I wouldn’t trust anyone else—Dr. Sayed is the one to go to.

My healing and current health has been such a huge positive in my life

From the time I met Dr. Tim Sayed in our face-to-face consultation, I felt instantly relieved and assured that my concerns about my breast implants and my health were taken seriously and acted with great consideration for what I was going through. I knew from that first meeting that he was the right surgeon to perform my explant surgery, especially when he asked if I was mentally prepared for the change along with the physical changes that would come with explanting. Anyone who has gone through this particular journey knows that it’s not just a physical game, it’s a mental commitment as well. My first augmentation surgery was done in 1994, I had a single implant rupture and full replacement of both implants done in 1998. Those implants were saline, and I really never connected the dots of some of my health issues at that time, because life was happening at full speed with starting a family. After all those years of having them in, I decided to do the responsible thing and have them switched out with my original cosmetic surgeon for a new set of implants in February of 2023. My saline implants were replaced with silicone, they never settled properly (I had bottoming out and double bubble effects), and from that point, my health issues started to spiral. It may have been because the capsule was left inside from doing the implant replacement, it could have possibly stirred up some issues & also potentially with the new implants being silicone. My original surgeon didn’t necessarily feel that I was having breast implant illness issues, and said he would fix the complications of the implants not settling properly. Many other health issues happened in between and gratefully that revision surgery never happened, and instead, I went on a quest to find a surgeon who would be in the space of understanding my health complications, my uncomfortableness physically with the new implants and work with me on my explant journey. My explant surgery with Dr. Sayed took place on September 30 of 2024, and my healing and current health has been such a huge positive in my life, not saying that surgery is easy to come back from, especially in your later 50’s, but so worth it and I have zero regrets. I feel better than ever. Dr. Sayed and his team are stellar. His attention to detail, embracing holistic healing methods (I do currently work with a naturopathic functional nutrition practitioner), the time he takes to explain and have actual conversation with me as his patient means everything. I believe this is the new face of cosmetic surgery where doctors are actually fully committed to not just the aesthetics but to the whole health of their patients. Discussing nutrition, supplementation, exercise, mental health and more are such important elements. Those elements, along with skill & experience, in concert, are such an important part of making a decision as big as explant surgery. I’m very pleased with my results at the almost eight week mark & I know it’s just going to get better. I can finally breathe! Thank you so much to Dr. Sayed & his incredible medical staff of very caring people. I appreciate you all so much!

Best Doctor Ever!

Finding the right doctor for you can be extremely stressful and nerve wracking, not at all with Dr.Sayed. The moment you schedule a consultation with him your sold. His bedside manner as a doctor is top notch. Unfortunately we don’t usually find this with many doctors. I’m 7 weeks post op and have not had one problem or complications . My surgery was so successful. I’m incredibly thankful for Dr.Sayed and his wonderful team.
