Breast Implant Removal Consultation

Hi ladies I’ve been in the process of planning breast implant removal .
I am reviewing my consultation with Dr. Fugo .
I have not yet had surgery or booked surgery.
I liked him a lot . He had some things I liked his take on . He came across as very honest about what I should expect, which I appreciate.
His assistant, possibly nurse?, was charming, truly lovely.
I think what I liked most about him was his honesty and what I believe is integrity.
The office was clean and organized.
I was his first appointment and he took a lot of time with me . My wait was minimal.
He wasn’t full of himself boasting the god complex thing. It’s a thing lol
My case is a little more complicated than just straight forward removal and I am little bit nervous about it quite frankly.
I haven’t decided if I will use him yet because I sort of had an idea in my mind how i wanted to approach this and his idea was a little different from mine. I do think however he maybe right and that is really what I have to consider at this point.
I currently have my 4 th set of implants in , I am approx 500 cc and 6 years since my last breast surgery.
I have had implants for 31 years total at this point, 2 pregnancies and many lbs gained and lost many times over.
I am not thinking about a lift as I am hoping to avoid the scar and see if my skin will in fact contract. If somehow it doesn’t I suppose I will have to go ahead and lift at that time maybe a donut lift .
So basically I’d be staging surgeries, if I even have a lift at all it would be later.
I would love the almost instant gratification of having them look great and not have to wait 6 months to a year to see what I really look like but that would require either more implants ,a lift or both. I have decided I don’t want either of those at this point although I do wonder how a lift would look , surely more perky.
Maybe I do want a lift lol , idk.
His office is about 1 hr 20 minutes from me, not too bad.
His fees are not cheap but not crazy either. Idk it doesn’t bother me too much ,other than the obvious coming up with it, I too want to be paid when I work. It is what it is.
I believe i may have breast implant illness, although I know many people don’t really believe it’s a thing.
I know this:
I feel I’ll look smaller and inherently thinner without the big boobs.
I think I may look younger with smaller boobs.
Anything that makes me overall appear younger and thinner I’m sort of all over at this point in my life.

Hi, I'm just wondering if you ended up using Dr. Fugo. If so, how did it go?

I did not . I ended up waiting until after covid , I did them feb 2022 at another dr in Florida . I’m happy with my outcome overall . I did not go with a staged surgery plan .
