It was a complete success - he gave me my life back

Amazing Experience with Best Doctor Ever!

WORTH IT
This man, Dr. Dev, has saved my life. Twice. Yes, that means different things to different people. But my life would absolutely not be the same without him. And it’s not just Dr. Dev that is amazing. His entire staff rocks, too many amazing individuals to even list here, but particularly Beatrice, who is the queen bee and the powerhouse behind everything, and Jonathan, who has always literally taken care of every single detail that I throw at him. They are definitely a well old machine and collectively care so, SO much about their patients.
I first went to Dr. Dev in November 2019 when I realized that all of my health issues were clearly evident signs of Breast Implant Illness (BII). I only had my implants for a few years after breast-feeding three children, but never did I imagine the resulting series of illnesses I would have because of it. Dr. Dev evaluated me and agreed that I had several of the classic symptoms (massive headaches, chronic fatigue and joint pain). I knew I needed to Explant. My explant got delayed because of Covid, and I finally explanted in September of 2020. I literally woke up feeling like a different person. It was unreal. Unfortunately, my capsules were tightly stuck to areas like my rib cage, and I developed adhesions. I needed another surgery to essentially detach my skin from my chest cavity. Dr. Dev did an amazing job. A couple of years later, my OB GYN discovered a large lump in my right breast. It was growing quickly and quite alarming. I would lie if I said I was not scared. I have had my fair share of health issues. I went through several imaging studies and knew it needed to be removed asap. And so I went back to Dr. Dev. I was welcomed back with an extraordinary amount of care, he walked me through the process, and we scheduled for surgery. This would now be my fourth surgery on my chest cavity within 8 years (implant, explant, adhesion revision, and now removal of a large mass). We both immediately realized that by removing this large mass which was measuring over 7 mm on all of my images, I would need to replace it with fat via a fat transfer. Over the next few months, I tried to plump up a little to have enough fat to transfer. Lol. My surgery was on February 15 of this year, and it was a complete success. I barely experienced pain, just as my previous two surgeries with Dr. Dev. Both times that I had come to him with a problem, I truly felt horrible. And he gave me my life back. Twice! Today I had my four month post-op appointment, and he confirmed what I already knew… That it was a complete success and I am good to go! No more surgeries! Thank goodness for that because I have enough on my plate lol. My life would not be the same without him. Thank you Dr Dev!! I am forever grateful!
Ps- since everyone keeps asking me…NO, I definitely did not get implants again! Not sure why anyone would ever even imagine I would! Never again! And no, this is not even a push-up bra, nor even padded. I am all natural Dr. Dev is just THAT fantastic and skilled
