After a full year of research on explant surgery I felt very confident

I had three different consults with top explant doctors in the Chicago area. After meeting with Dr. Straka in person I immediately knew he would be the doctor I would move forward with. He recently moved from Houston to Chicago and after a full year of research on explant surgery I felt very confident in his expertise and experience.

I had my saline implants for 15 years and they were extremely heavy. I breastfed four children as well with them. Both were almost bottoming out and had creases. My left breast had a crease since 2010 when they were initially put in. I was worried that with explant the crease would be more noticeable and it would be something I would have to get used to and live with.

From my initial consultation to pre op, surgery and post op my experience with Dr Straka and his team has been incredible. I initially spoke with Vicky and she was so helpful and wonderful. Joanne is Dr. Strakas nurse, she was so great through it all as well. I was very scared on surgery day to have the surgery and go under anesthesia. The team really helped soothe my nerves. The anesthesiologist was also very experienced.

I am two days post op and I’m very please surprised with how they look. I did not want a lift because I did not want extra trauma or scarring. Dr Straka is definitely a perfectionist, I don’t know how he did it but my creases are not even showing this early post op. They look beautiful and I know with time they will look even better. I could breathe better initially out of surgery and feel so much lighter overall. Best decision I could have made for myself. I am so impressed by my experience with Dr Straka and his team. I’m so incredibly thankful for the fantastic care they have shown me. Chicago is extremely lucky to have Dr Straka here, he really is the best of the best.
