Implant Removal with Breast Lift

WORTH IT$10,000

Mammogram showed possible rupture of 30+ yr old implants. Consulted with Dr. Heistein, who highly recommended removal of implants. Dr. Heistein discussed the different surgery choices: removal only; removal with new implants; removal with breast lift. After discussion, questions and answers, I opted for removal with lift. It is now four wks since surgery, and I cannot describe how pleased I am with the results. My breasts feel and look so natural and even more importantly, my body is free of 2 ruptured implants and the leaked silicon. Results A+

Office staff also A+. I called multiple times with various questions (about covid testing, payments, scheduling, instructions), and whoever answered the phone, almost always answered my question immediately. If not, my call was returned quickly. Appointment times were always timely. Surgery even started 30 minutes early.

I honestly do not have a con about my experience - only pros. Very grateful my gynecologist recommended seeing a plastic surgeon after my suspicious mammogram. Grateful my daughter recommended Dr. Heistein. I'm looking forward to shopping for new, smaller bras :)

I'm always interested in stories about women removing their older implants. When I got mine 34 years ago, I didn't think that I'd have to remove them one day - I thought they were permanent. Last December, I had explant and lift surgery. One of mine had ruptured but didn't show up in my mammogram plus there was a larger growth that also didn't show. I love my new look but I'm even more thankful that I got them out when I did. I hope your healing goes well.
