Thriving thanks to Dr Cox and his team!!
Its been a year and a half and some. I just posted my new photos. The came down a lot, but you know what? My health is up. My mood is up, my sleep is great, I am sleeping 7 hours straight, versus 4 years of two hour sleep, which is hell on earth. All these doctors that gaslighted me, I wish I could send them this review. Dr Cox was and still is my angel and my biggest hero and I am FOREVER grateful. I was dying, ha brought me back to life, him and Veronica His assistant were and still are my God given miracle
A year After
Here is a photo of my breast a year after. Keep in mind, I had a baby. So, they hang. I don't care LOL.
Im glad I didn't do the lift, I probably would have ended up with a totally flat chest. I am happy with the results, maybe I would do a lift/fat transfer in the future, but not now. Dr Cox removed my old scar and this one is SO much better. I might need to do a laser in my chest to tighten the loose skin. But again, Not in a hurry.

Amazing Experience Overall
Got my explant with Dr. Cox in Pasadena.
Four years of living death and survival hours, lost work, spent days without sleep, got into a car crash that almost killed me due to poor cognitive function, been Isolated since January because It got so bad I could't even interact with friends. I almost couldn't walk due to the pain in my feet and legs.
My family thought it was all in my head, and so did most of my friends. I felt I was loosing my mind. Just begging God to take me; until I found a post from a co-worker last year, I didn't know what I had. Thank you for all who create awareness.
All doctors made fun of me. They thought I was just being dramatic and a hypochondriac. I never got sick not even the flu. I know my body.
If you are trying to get an approval, please DON'T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER. My PCP said: YOU WILL NEVER GET THE DOCTOR YOU WANT. Hello?
I cannot tell enough good things about Dr. Cox and his assitant Veronica. What I liked about my consultation was that he was normal and real. He was calm. He was not trying to sell himself. He also said to wait on the lift because a lot of patients dont need it. A surgeon who is not greedy? Really in California ? WoAH.
He listened without interrupting. Veronica is kind and also a powerforce, treated me like I was family and my life was as important as hers. And I was a pain in her butt, meaning lots of texts and questions etc.
My PCP approved my surgery eventhough there were high enzymes in my liver bloodwork, but Dr. Cox cancelled it just to be extra cautious. I was upset but I loved the fact that he cared, that was a loss for him too and more work to rescheduole. I also wanted someone who had experience in Breast Reconstructive Surgery in case something was needed when they opened me up. Thank God for that.
I did a mamogram beforehand because you cannot do one for a year . During my explant, Dr. Cox found a mass on my right breast and biopsed it to make sure it was benign. And it was.
As soon as I got in the Hospital rooms, a few nurses and even the anesteciologist got in my room and shared about how good of a surgeon he was. I never asked.
They told me their stories and experiences and I felt overwealming peace, a knowing I was in the best hands I could be.
He removed them emblock with just a capsulectomy. Yes. Apparently someone with his skills can do that.
Previous surgeon had left the old capsules in when he exchanged them in 2003. He also fixed my scar tissue and made a smaller cleaner incision. He gave me his cell phone nmbr in case I needed anything. Wait, what?
My breast look great, pain level about a 4. I don't have photos yet, I am in pain, but I will take pics when I heal. DM if you want to see them.
I didn't take pain meds because the consitpated me so bad, but I took Tylenol etra strenght every 4-6 hours and that works fine,
Day 3 AFTER surgery:
Fibromialgia Symptoms 90% gone
Brain Fog 50% gone
Depression 50% gone (anesthesia is a bishhhhh)
Anxiety 70 % gone
Itchy Skin 60 % gone
Feeling I can't breath at night 80 % gone
Feeling like I am dying 95% GONE
Insomnia 60 % better, I stopped taking meds but I don't sleep on my back, so will wait for this one.
I know everyone is different and symptoms can come and go in waves for a while, I read all the posts and I am really aware of this, I am sharing to encourage people and share hope.
I have still to further detox my liver, some enzimes kept going up and my Hepathologist said it could be d implants or Vitamin A and Kepl wich I took when I was desperate to feel better. Big eye opener.
Also, implants were textured and silicone wich was not what my previous surgeon said, but he passed and he was in Argentina so, forget about him.
I love my restults and I can't believe Im almost 90% out of symptoms after only 6 days.
