Dr. Vinyard and his exemplary staff deserve no less than 5stars and AAA+’s for the assistance, guidance, knowledge, and skill they gave in my journey of explant surgery. A mammogram and ultrasound confirmed my 10 year old silicone implants were ruptured, as well as a lump in my left axilla.
Ugh! And so the journey began…. I had a consult with my original plastic surgeon in which he and his staff showed little concern, a very brief office visit, along with a questionable approach to dealing with my situation. With that, I decided to search elsewhere. My GYN referred me to Dr. Vinyard. My search stop there. Without a doubt, the moment I entered their doors I knew I was in the best of hands.
Dr. Vinyard’s approach was to explant, clean out all the debris and toxins, allow my breast pockets to heal for one year. Now, 4months post-op, I can breathe, move, function so much better. Of course my breasts are smaller. Yet, they look and feel natural. At the one year mark I can opt to implant. However, I feel this is the way I was meant to be, natural. My scars are along the fold of my breasts and are healing well, with time they will be minimal. Dr Vinyard gave me the best outcome I could ever hope for.
On a side note, the staff at Dr. Vinyard assisted me greatly with Mentor’s warranty assistance and replacements (if I choose to do so) per my Premier Advantage Warranty policy.
Also, Dr. Vinyard has sent me to a breast specialist to further evaluate the lump in my axilla.
From the start of this journey, and guiding me to the next, Dr V and his team have been right by my side.
Words can not express my gratitude.
