EXCELLENT SURGEON!!! A Life-Changing Experience
My Explant Journey with Dr. Ercan Karacaoglu – A Life-Changing Experience
After years of struggling with a botched breast augmentation in 2018, I finally decided to have an explant surgery on August 13th, 2024. My original surgery left me with 375cc implants, oversized F-cup breasts, and severe complications, including constant neck and back pain due to the huge unwanted breasts. I had asked for a C-cup but ended up with a result that not only affected my body but also my confidence. For years, I felt helpless, unable to trust another doctor after that traumatic experience.
I started researching explant procedures, finally I found Dr. Ercan Karacaoglu in Istanbul, Turkey. Living in the UK but being from Istanbul, this felt like the perfect opportunity for me.
On the day of the surgery, I felt nervous but hopeful. Dr. Karacaoglu’s kindness and professionalism immediately put me at ease. He listened to my concerns and worries which was incredibly important to me. His team was also fantastic, always responsive and caring throughout the entire process.
After the surgery, which included an explant with capsule removal, a lift, and areola reduction, I felt an immediate sense of relief. I couldn’t believe how much better I felt even on the first day post-op—I didn’t even need my usual morning coffee! I realised then that I had been dealing with brain fog for years, something I hadn’t fully understood until it lifted after the surgery.
I finally felt free, like a weight had been lifted from my body. My breathing improved, the pain in my neck and back was gone, and I began to feel more like myself.
Three Weeks Post-Op Update: September 4th, 2024
Now, three weeks post-surgery, I can confidently say that choosing Dr. Karacaoglu was the best decision I’ve ever made. The transformation is incredible. The swelling has gone down significantly, and my body feels lighter and healthier. My appearance is drastically different. My saggy F-cups have been beautifully reduced to perky, small C-cups, and I couldn’t be happier.
Even with a simple T-shirt I look and feel amazing. My friends and family have commented on how much healthier and skinnier I appear, and I can finally breathe without discomfort. The difference between my pre- and post-op pictures is almost unbelievable.
I developed a small seroma under my breasts, likely due to overexertion. But Dr. Karacaoglu was always there for me, never turned me down If I request to see him. His care has been nothing short of amazing, and I’m so grateful for his support.
This journey has been life-changing. Thank you, Dr. Karacaoglu, for giving me my life back. You will be forever my hero!
