Breast Implants Removal Cure my Thyroid Issue !!

Breast Implant Removal/Liposuction/Breast fat Transfer

I am 42, mother of two, and had my breast implant for 20 years. My implants got harden over the years, it was very painful. I really wanted to take it out. but I had been afraid the end results would be worse. Last year, my health started declining, I was diagnosed with thyroid issue. My doctor told me I would have to take thyroid medication for life.
Finally, I decided to remove the implant. I worried my breast would look deflated after the implants removal and decided to get fat transfer as well.
I found the best Doctor I can ever ask for Dr. Goretti Ho Taghva. I had my first consultation in Jan 2023. She answered all my questions and concerns. she explained in details the risks and expectations. she's very patient, professional, informative.
I had my surgery in May 2023. everything went great. What I love about her the most is she was very transparent and realistic about expectations. Nothing sugar coated, pure honesty!!
Here I am, 4 months after my surgery. My only regret is that I did not do this sooner. I feel better emotionally, physically and mentally. In addition, I am off my thyroid medication! Maybe the implants trigger my thyroid spike up in the first place?? Let me know if anyone experience the same issue.
Last, thank you so much Dr. Goretti Ho Taghva and her team for this life changing procedure!! Highly recommended !!!
