Breast Implant Removal and Mastopexy (No New Implants)
I am a 58 year old woman and I had 28 year old saline breast implants I wanted removed for health reasons and peace of mind. I interviewed 5 surgeons in 3 states. I learned a lot from each consultation and would recommend everyone do so when considering plastic surgery. The other very important thing to do when considering breast surgery is to pay attention to the before and after galleries of photos. Each surgeon has their own style/outcomes and you'll want your vision to line up with their style as closely as possible.
HANDS DOWN, Dr. Hyman stood out in ALL areas. He is congenial, intelligent, experienced, and takes all the time you need, no matter how many follow up emails with questions you send him, to respond to every single question and/or concern you have or develop along the way.
I was uncertain at first whether I wanted to do a lift post the explant, so we agreed to drain the implants a couple of days before my surgery date. This was yet another important decision because it became obvious very quickly that I wanted the lift. I'm so happy we did this step.
I am now six weeks post surgery. Everything has gone smoothly and exactly according to Dr. Hyman's surgical plan and predictions regarding recovery.
I LOVE the shape and size of my breasts post surgery. Dr. Hyman provided created great symmetry and positioning. And his nurse, Julia, offered up a very sage perspective which every person should take in: they are not twins, they're sisters! ... Meaning, they were never and will never be EXACTLY the same. I really appreciated that statement very much.
Recovery has been better and easier than I could have ever expected, even though he told me several times it would be. It really has been almost painless. If you follow the rules, eat well, allow your body to recover before doing anything strenuous too soon, and really listen to your body, you can basically be functioning within a couple of days. Quite amazing really. Especially given how incredibly painful breast augmentation was 28 years ago.
I requested the lollipop scar and he agreed my case worked well for that. At the six week mark currently, I am pleased with how quickly the scarring is healing, although it is still too soon to be comfortable with, and I still have concerns about, the results of my nipple shape. Since I understand it can take up to a year for everything to settle, I'm happy to come back and provide an update at a later time. I would also note, that neither my husband nor I care too much about how my nipples will ultimately look - what's most important to me is that they work!
Aside from the nipple shape, I'm literally in love with my very own improved breasts and couldn't be happier that I no longer have implants.
Dr. Hyman and all of his staff have been wonderful to me and to partner with for this journey. Notably, Monique has been incredibly diligent and helpful as well. I am so grateful to have found Dr. Hyman and his team in my search and have zero regrets in having chose Dr. Hyman for this very important surgery.
When I come back with updates, and am near the end of my healing journey (6 months to 1 year from surgery), I plan to post photos of the entire progression so women can see what to expect. That is the one thing that I could not find when I was researching, and I would have found that helpful.
Anyway, I can't say enough good things about what has been thus far an excellent experience with Dr. Hyman.
Thanks so very much to the entire team!
