Wanting to remove 6 y/o, 525cc, Allergen, HP implants as they are too large for my size 8 frame, 30" back. Being only 25 I want to do in two stages, to see how much natural retraction happens in the hope I could avoid scarring and have clearer view before deciding how I want to proceed for second op.
