Said GoodBye to my Breast Implants After 35 Years!

I had Breast Implants for 35 years and I loved them! I originally had silicone and they ruptured after 22 years. They were replaced with saline implants and I had problems with encapsulation. I just never liked them as much as my original implants. After 13 years, I had a consultation with Dr. Kuhlman-Wood about what to do with my encapsulated breasts. At 64, it was time to replace them, but, the thought of having to replace them AGAIN in my 80’s was a big concern. We scheduled the surgery and, while I was waiting for my surgery date, I suddenly started having problems with my heart. It took a year and a couple of procedures to sort through my heart issues with my cardiologist. When I was finally healthy enough to proceed with this elective surgery, I was even more concerned about the future and how my health might prevent me from even having another surgery in my 80’s. Dr Kuhlman -Wood spent a great deal of time discussing my options. Instead of just taking my money and redoing my implants, she showed me how much of my own breast tissue that I actually have and strongly suggested that I not replace the implants. Instead, she removed the implants and did a breast lift. I am so surprised at how much breast tissue that I actually have (a nice perky C cup) and am comforted that I won’t have to endure any more breast surgeries. Dr Kuhlman-Wood clearly put my heath above her profit and I sincerely respect her for the honest feedback and advice that she gave me.
