Explant Surgery with Dr. Tim Sayed
From the time I met Dr. Tim Sayed in our face-to-face consultation, I felt instantly relieved and assured that my concerns about my breast implants and my health were taken seriously and acted with great consideration for what I was going through. I knew from that first meeting that he was the right surgeon to perform my explant surgery, especially when he asked if I was mentally prepared for the change along with the physical changes that would come with explanting. Anyone who has gone through this particular journey knows that it’s not just a physical game, it’s a mental commitment as well.
My first augmentation surgery was done in 1994, I had a single implant rupture and full replacement of both implants done in 1998. Those implants were saline, and I really never connected the dots of some of my health issues at that time, because life was happening at full speed with starting a family.
After all those years of having them in, I decided to do the responsible thing and have them switched out with my original cosmetic surgeon for a new set of implants in February of 2023. My saline implants were replaced with silicone, they never settled properly (I had bottoming out and double bubble effects), and from that point, my health issues started to spiral. It may have been because the capsule was left inside from doing the implant replacement, it could have possibly stirred up some issues & also potentially with the new implants being silicone.
My original surgeon didn’t necessarily feel that I was having breast implant illness issues, and said he would fix the complications of the implants not settling properly. Many other health issues happened in between and gratefully that revision surgery never happened, and instead, I went on a quest to find a surgeon who would be in the space of understanding my health complications, my uncomfortableness physically with the new implants and work with me on my explant journey.
My explant surgery with Dr. Sayed took place on September 30 of 2024, and my healing and current health has been such a huge positive in my life, not saying that surgery is easy to come back from, especially in your later 50’s, but so worth it and I have zero regrets. I feel better than ever.
Dr. Sayed and his team are stellar. His attention to detail, embracing holistic healing methods (I do currently work with a naturopathic functional nutrition practitioner), the time he takes to explain and have actual conversation with me as his patient means everything. I believe this is the new face of cosmetic surgery where doctors are actually fully committed to not just the aesthetics but to the whole health of their patients. Discussing nutrition, supplementation, exercise, mental health and more are such important elements. Those elements, along with skill & experience, in concert, are such an important part of making a decision as big as explant surgery.
I’m very pleased with my results at the almost eight week mark & I know it’s just going to get better. I can finally breathe! Thank you so much to Dr. Sayed & his incredible medical staff of very caring people. I appreciate you all so much!
