Dr. Feng Saved my Life!
This review has been a long time in coming however I wanted to write this long-overdue review and provide photographs showing the long term results of my breast implant removal surgery with capsulectomy and a lollipop mastopexy that was performed by Dr. Lu-Jean Feng in the year 2000.
When I arrived at The Feng Clinic 20 years ago I was a very ill 33-year-old woman. I began having health problems less than one year after receiving textured saline implants.
Anyone suffering from B.I.A knows all too well the baffling myriad of symptoms, the frustration of not having mainstream doctors taking your issues seriously and the havoc it wreaks on every aspect of your life.
I had always dreamed of getting breast implants as I was not even an A cup and I'd nursed 3 children. Also, one of my breasts was tubular. So once my family was complete and our businesses successful it was finally time for me to do something for me to boost my self-confidence and make that dream of mine come true. I had no concern about the possibility of illness. It was never even mentioned. Little did I know it would end up being one of the biggest mistakes of my life.
When I started having a lot of strange symptoms, I began going from doctor to doctor searching for an answer. My husband and I owned numerous restaurants at the time and I had 3 children aged 15, 13 and 3. Between managing the restaurants, running my home and raising my children getting sick was catastrophic. Because we were self-employed we didn't have traditional insurance and paid cash for all the tests, physician and specialist appointments. I went from one specialist to the next and had over $75,000 worth of testing done. Many of my labs were off the charts abnormal but every doctor gave a different opinion as to what the problem was. I was diagnosed with everything from Epstein Barr to Fibromyalgia to Multiple Sclerosis yet nothing was pinpointed as to what exactly was wrong with me. It was all a guessing game of sorts.
I mentioned to many of the doctors that I wondered if perhaps my implants could be making me sick but they all told me that was not possible. However, the more I thought about it, the more convinced I was that my implants were indeed responsible. I decided to consult with Dr. Frank Vasey who wrote the book "The Breast Implant Controversy" He was highly knowledgeable on the subject and well revered in his field.
It took me a year to get an appointment and I continued to deteriorate. By this point I was bedridden. I couldn't take care of my children, my businesses or even myself. I'd become a shell of the woman I once was. My children had to take care of me and work was an impossibility. I truly felt that I was dying and no one could tell me why. My marriage suffered because even my husband was doubting me. He told me that I should listen to what a few of the doctors had suggested and undergo a psychiatric evaluation. It was even more of a slap in the face coming from him than it was from them. These problems were not psychiatric in nature. I'd wished they were. At least then I'd have a definitive answer and there would be a treatment and the hope of getting well. That would be far more preferable than not knowing what was happening to me.
By the time my appointment with Dr. Vasey came around we'd spent over $100,000 on medical bills. I had been to some of the finest physicians in the country yet not one of them would even entertain the thought that my breast implants might be the cause..Until Dr. Vasey that is. After sharing with him the long list of symptoms I was experiencing (swollen lymph nodes, hair loss, extreme fatigue, numbness and tingling in my extremities, achy muscles and joint pain, panic attacks that came out of nowhere, memory loss, vision loss, gastrointestinal issues, heart palpitations, vertigo, clumsiness, chronic infections and others that fortunately I don't remember anymore. It took Dr. Vasey all of 5 minutes to confirm that I was being slowly poisoned by my breast implants and that my only hope to recover was to have them removed immediately. I didn't care about my boobs anymore. My life is more meaningful than a big set of boobs that in all honesty, I never really liked. They looked fake and felt fake. They got in the way of hugging my Children, sleeping on my stomach and just my overall comfort.
Dr. Vasey kindly put me in contact with Dr. Feng whom he said was the best in the world at what I needed to have done. Implant removal with capsulectomy.
I was on my way to Pepper Pike, Ohio the following day! Keep in mind this was 20 years ago during the early years of the practice.
Hope is an amazing thing. Dr. Vasey assured me that my health would indeed improve once I removed the source of all my problems. I had hope that day and it just magnified the moment I met Dr. Feng. I was in awe of this brilliant woman who knew and understood exactly what I'd been going through. At that moment I knew with complete certainty that I wasn't crazy. It wasn't all in my head like numerous Doctors had stated and like even my own husband had stated. One of the most terrifying aspects of all of this is that I had actually begun to question myself. I knew I wasn't imagining all of the things that were happening to me but after a while, I did begin to question my sanity and that is something I will never forget. I also knew that I was in the best hands possible with Dr. Feng.
The Feng clinic was state of the art. It was obvious that everyone knew precisely what they were doing. From Linda in the front to Dr. Feng's skill and artistry in the O.R to the nurses and anesthesiologists. These were top-notch professionals. Each one the best in their field of expertise. I wasn't even nervous like I had always been before any prior surgical procedure. I was relaxed and relieved. Like I said, hope is an amazing thing. I was finally where I needed to be.
Dr. Feng is a beautiful woman but her beauty isn't just skin deep. Her beauty radiates from within. It was clear that she was brilliant and she genuinely cared about me and my health and well being. She made sure that every step of the way I was informed and enlightened on various measures that I could take in addition to the surgery to return to optimal health. She is very knowledgable about breast implant illness and the various natural and homeopathic remedies to supercharge our weakened and withering immune systems. I wasn't just getting surgery, I was receiving an education on how to get well.
The surgery itself was an absolute breeze. I know this might sound a little crazy but when I awoke from the operation I already felt better than I had in a very long time. It was like the brain fog was just gone. I was clear-headed and my vision which had been waning was sharper, crisper and clearer. Even the whites of my eyes were whiter. You can't imagine how happy I was at that moment and the many moments that followed. I had zero pain following my surgery.
I don't know if it was due to her gentleness and precision or what but I didn't even need to take prescription pain medication. 2 Ibuprofen and I was good. Better than good really because getting these toxic bags of poison out of me was miraculous in naturally allowing my body to quickly heal and recover. Not just from the surgery itself but from the breast implant illness. Every day was a brand new day and life began to return to my mind, body, and soul. It was like a great big weight had been lifted off my shoulders which in reality..it had.
Now, are you ready for the second-best part? It was something that in all honesty wasn't that important to me at the time but that I ended up appreciating later. My breasts were and still are (20 years later) beautiful! Far more beautiful than they were before implants, far more lovely than they were with implants and for the first time in my life I was completely happy with my breasts. It still to this day blows my mind that I could go through all that I did with getting the implants and having my skin all stretched out and then having them removed and end up with the breasts of my dreams but that is indeed what happened. The mastopexy is an amazing procedure and Dr. Feng has mastered it in a way that's almost hard to believe. You can't even see my scars at all. You would need a magnifying glass and superhuman vision to even find them. The shape of my breasts is that perfect teardrop that the really lucky girls are born with and my nipples are cute as a button..even 20 years later and I had nursed 3 children with these breasts and had 2 major surgeries on them. She even corrected my tubular breast and made it match perfectly with the other. How she does what she does is simply mind-boggling but the proof is in the pictures.
Depicted are before surgery pics, then immediately following the removal, 10 years later and then 20 years later. They still have not drooped and in my opinion, do not look like the breasts of a now 53-year-old woman and certainly not the breasts of a 53-year-old woman who put them to the test with breastfeeding, implants, implant removal and two decades of time and gravity.
So in wrapping up this long-overdue review..I need to thank Dr. Feng for so much. She not only gave me my life back. She gave me the breasts of my dreams and with no foreign objects or substances. Just incredible skill, talent, and artistry. I recovered completely from what I know was a near-death experience. I honestly believe I would have died had I not had the implants removed. My marriage ended up being the only casualty that was not able to recover from the whole experience but we're still friends and happy for each other. His not believing me when I was so extremely ill was not something either of us could truly move past.
If you are ill and need to have your implants removed, all I can tell you is what was told to me by the foremost expert in Breast Implant Illness. He said "In order to get better you need to have those implants removed as soon as possible and the best surgeon in the world to do it is Dr. Lu Jean Feng." and "You will get better!"
I went from being completely bedridden to skiing the slopes of Maine within 6 months.
Thank you, Dr. Feng. and Dr. Vasey. You, two extraordinary people, saved my life. I thank you and my children and family thank you.
Breast implant illness is very real. It is life-altering and insidious in nature. Thankfully it's finally being recognized and acknowledged. 20 years ago I was the crazy lady claiming my implants were making me sick. Dr. Feng and Dr. Vasey were the only medical professionals that believed me and helped me. They are both heroes in my eyes.
Sincerely, Lisa E. Gordon
