Amazing Experience - Explant Capsulectomy W/ Saline Implant Replacement

WORTH IT$9,000

I can not say enough good things about Dr. Bharti & team.

I came to Dr. B with 17 year old saline implants & concerns of possible BII. I had an autoimmune antibody number and systemic inflammation that equaled about 7-10 lbs on the scale, and being in the functional medicine field, I did everything I knew to help my body with its health.

Of course I was apprehensive to removing the implants, and spoke to Dr. B about doing an explant capsulectomy w/ replacing the saline implants first, to see if it helped my issues. He thought this was a logical option, and, if it didn't correct my issues within the first year, he said we could then do an explant w/ fat transfer. I thought this was a great solution!

My surgery on 9/1/2021 was a success. The whole team was amazing, nice, and made me feel at ease. 10 days after my surgery was when the trouble began. I knew I was in pain, and unbeknownst to me, I had a fast bleeding hematoma in the right breast. When I called Dr. B's nurses, they asked me send pictures and called me back to tell me to get into the office ASAP. They stayed on the phone with me while my husband rushed me to their office. I was in terrible amounts of pain by the time we got to the car. Once at the office, Dr. B had me put under and opened up within 5 minutes of arriving to their Huntersville location. It was super scary! He reopened the right side scar, removed the implant, fixed the artery that was bleeding and put me back together. Dr. B thanked my husband for getting me there so quickly. He explained to us that a hematoma can happen for unknown reasons, and the key is getting it found and cauterized ASAP.

That was a traumatic situation, and it took me a bit to heal from that. Dr. B wanted to see me 2 times a week and he took lots of extra time with me and my husband.

All was going along fine, and 10 days later, my left side had a slow bleeding hematoma. Dr. B had to reopen me back up on the left side to cauterize the slow bleeding vein, then sew me back up again. This one was not scary, because it was slowly bleeding. The recovery from this one was easier, however, due to my sensitive situation, Dr. B had me coming into the office every week to see him for follow ups.

At this point, I was becoming good friends with all of the staff and sent Dr. B & team flowers for taking such good care of me during my unusual recovery.

Even though my experience was unorthodox, Dr. B made it right and treated me extremely well during all of this. He just wanted to make sure I was okay and my surgery would be a success. He truly shows his care for you as a human, not just a patient. Which is hard to come by.

Why did I have two hematoma bleeds you ask? After doing my own studies, I do believe it has to do with having a severe case of Covid 4 weeks prior to surgery. Covid can make your veins "seep blood". My advice, wait at least 6 months after having Covid to have a surgery.

As far as my results...

My scars have been cut out and restitched 2 times on each side. Dr. B's work is incredible! The placement of the scar is perfect and his stitch work is highly skilled.

My autoimmune number has been cut in 1/2! And ...up to this point this is the first real movement I have had in 5 years since tracking this number. My inflammation also seems to have reduced as well, which is great news!

I am super happy with my new implants and the work Dr. Bharti has done to help me with this whole experience! From how he treats you as a human (not just a patient) to the highly skilled work he performs - I would recommend Dr. Bharti to anyone.
