Best explant doctor

best explant doctor

WORTH IT
You don't think of how you are getting the implants out when you get them. I was having an issue with an 18 year old saline implant and the original plastic surgeon had long retired. Dr Rankins name kept coming up in my research for a "explant specialist". I did everything by phone and email since he is in Florida and I am in New Jersey. I literally met Dr Rankin minutes before my surgery. He walked in and he brought in a wave of confidence and calmness. I am older and very high risk for blood clots and he took all the necessary steps to protect me through the whole process. I was in denial about suffering from Breast Implant Illness but from the second I woke up from surgery, I feel so different. Chronic headaches, inflammation, back/neck/hip pain, food intolerances, brain fog and fatigue GONE... WOW I feel like a new woman and most of all I can BREATHE now!!
I highly recommend Dr. Rankin, he is an amazing doctor with great skills and has an awesome bed side manner. The whole Aqua team was amazing! I usually get violently sick from anesthesia but the TIVA anesthesia Aqua uses, I had no issues at all. My explant surgery was Dec 2019 and I could not have asked for a more perfect outcome.
Best of all... I got me back... I didn't even know "ME" was missing but it was. Thank you Dr Rankin and the whole Aqua team.

I'm so glad for you ! I was going to get implants but heard about Bii . So I decided against it . I'm so glad for the lady who told me to do my research about it , before I took that leap . Good health to you !:)
Thank you :)
I knew nothing about it until I scheduled for explant and I definitely had a lot on that list but didn't think I had it. I sooooo did! I would totally recommend a lift if you feel you need something but not the implants. I just wish I knew about breast implant illness way before now because looking back... I was suffering and didn't even know it was from the implants. 18 years!! I feel so much better now and I don't even miss those implants at all.
Since you are from NJ and the Dr. is in Fla, I'm interested in what the cost was out of pocket. Thanks for any information you feel comfortable sharing.
I paid around 9300. I think he might went up a tiny bit but I would definitely recommend him. There is a hotel suite right down the street from Aqua that was really nice.
I would love to know what the cost was? Also, would you be able to post some pictures? I really want mine out within the next few years!!
