12 years ago, when I was 21 I went from an A to a DD with 425 saline implants, under the muscle. I hated them from the very beginning. They were huge, hard and looked really fake. After two years I returned to my initial doctor and explained that I wanted them out. He freighted me out of removing them, telling me I'd be deformed and would have thin, empty, wrinkly sacks for breasts after. As a 23 year old this was more than I could handle so we decided to replace them with 300 cc silicone implants. They were an improvement in many ways. They were more natural looking, smaller, softer, but I still just wanted my old body back. Finally 12 years after beginning this journey I decided it was time for them to come out, no matter how I looked after. The real self website was an amazing resource for me, but I didn't see a lot of explant reviews in Chicago. So I picked my doctor based on breast aug reviews and made an appointment. Dr. Truong did an incredible job and not only am I not deformed, you really can't tell I've ever had anything done. I feel fantastic, can do deeper yoga, can sleep on my stomach, have gone from size M to S in tops, and never have to worry about future implant complications. I am very happy with my result and am sure I wouldn't have had such good results if I'd gone with another sugeon. Thank you Dr. Truong!

From the moment I met Dr. Truong I knew I was in good hands. He went over all my options with me, but never tried to talk me out of getting the explant. Before the surgery he drew lots of marks on me and the surgery itself took an hour. He didn't just pull them out. He scored the capsules (scar tissue surrounding implant) so that my breast tissue would reattach against my chest wall instead of sagging. As soon as I woke from surgery I peeked and was immediately happy with my results. Compared to my initial breast aug the recovery was a breeze. I had very little pain or swelling and the feeling of being natural and not carrying around implants was wonderful. I could not be happier with my results and highly encourage anyone considering an explant to go to Dr. Truong. He and his staff are warm and friendly, and he's incredibly talented.
