Beyond Thrilled with my Results and Care.

Oh dear, sorry about all the typos in my review. I don't see a way to edit. Should have proof read!

I do want to add that there are some women on the staff who made my experience extra wonderful:
Jade took the time to explain every detail of my surgery from cost to methodology, Jessica shared her own experiences in an incredibly honest and loving way, and Dee amazed me with her commitment to my aftercare - not only did she check on me every day, but when I had a question or concern she got back to me immediately, even on weekends.

Truly, I have rarely experienced such a level of quality and care as I had with Dr. Killeen. She is a partner at Cassileth Plastic Surgery, which an all female practice. Here is a link: https://www.drcassileth.com

In any case, I urge any of you considering explant surgey to get a consult with Dr. Killeen.

I originally got my implants in 1988 at age 29. Two years ago (2017. Since they were so old my implants were so old they had of course ruptured. I had a bilateral replacement with a benelli lift with a very respected Beverly Hills surgeon. Almost immediately I experienced severe capsular contracture in my right breast. It was odd as my 28 year old implants had remained soft scar tissue-wise. Turned out I had an infection. The implant was removed but I lost a lot of breast tissue in the process. The doctor put a huge (in diameter) implant in to try to make my two breast match. It looked terrible. I had a double-bubble plus the benelli lift stretched my nipple. There were some other problems that I won't go into but basically my surgeon botched the job. After the Allergen implant recall I decided I was done. I'm turning 60 this year and I was sick of worrying about my boobs plus I didn't even like them aesthetically. After a lot of research I found Dr. Killeen. I can't tell you how thrilled and grateful I am that I found her and her team. Hers is an all female practice. After only having male breast surgeons before, I can't tell you wonderful it was to discuss my boobs with people who actually have them! I felt listened to, nurtured, and Dr. Killeen's skill is impeccable.

As for the experience of having a explant after almost 30 years of having implants, I am ecstatic! My number one thing? I can feel hugs! For three decades whenever I hugged someone I felt like there was an air mattress between us. Also, I LOVE the look of my small boobs. They fit my body in a way those size D knockers never did. When I had them implants I was a 32D (DD in Victoria's Secret) now I'm back to my natural 32(small)B.

I had a breast lift and fat transfer as part of my procedure. It's only been four weeks since my surgery so my incisions still look kind of Frankenstein-y and my breast are still a bit compacted - I'm told it will take 4-6 months for them to regain their natural tear-drop shape. But already I am so beyond happy I did this. I feel like I have my self back.

Warning, my surgery - implant removal (they were under the muscle so the doc did a capsulectomy and muscle repair), breast lift, and fat transfer (to repair the damage the other doctor did), was very expensive It scared me to spend the money but I am so glad I did this for myself. Dr. Killeen is magnificent, but also the nurses - I have never received such loving, ever-present after-care. Also, a few of them have had explants themselves so can share with you exactly what to expect.

All this to say, GO TO DR. KILLEEN!
