Implant Replacement—They look like natural breasts, nude and in clothing.

In 2015 I was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer and underwent a double mastectomy. Dr. Andrew Smith was my reconstructive surgeon and provided amazing results however I had chosen a texturized teardrop breast implant at the time not knowing 5 years later there were concerns about their viability long-term due to recalls worldwide as they were causing large cell lymphoma.

In 2020, I shared my concerns with Dr. Smith and we planned to remove the implants and replace them with Allergan, smooth, round implants. He and his team were caring about my concerns yet forthright about the procedure, post care, etc.

I scheduled for December 7th and can honestly share that immediately after my surgery I not only had very little if any pain but the results are amazing. They look like natural breasts, nude and in clothing.

More importantly, I had ongoing pain from the initial implants that we couldn't identify even with annual MRI's and with the new implants, no pain. Four months later, no pain, and overall I feel better. It was like my body was telling me it didn't like the original implants even though my recon surgery was without incident, etc.

Dr. Smith and his team are not only highly competent but truly work with you to achieve desired results. I always feel like they have my health as their primary concern and aesthetics added in. 

I would highly recommend them for both breast cancer patients needing reconstruction, women that have texturized implants that are concerned about the recalls, or if you're just not happy with your breasts (natural or augmented) and need a revision.
