I was motivated to remove my breast implants after...

I was motivated to remove my breast implants after a very bad fall caused a rupture. I chose to remove the implants and have a breast lift rather than remove and replace the implants. The reason I made this choice was because I am over 60 years old now and did not want to risk having new implants rupture and have to return for additional surgery 10 or 20 years in the future. Also, there was a downside to having implants and I was looking forward to being small again. My implants became hard and at times uncomfortable. Mammograms were very unpleasant since I did not have much of my own tissue surrounding them. I was looking forward to being able to sleep on my stomach again. In addition, I love getting massages, but when the masseuse applied pressure to my back, my breasts would be pushed into the table, which was unpleasant. I also felt that anytime i hugged someone, they would feel my hard implants instead of getting a nice soft hug. It is over a week since my surgery and I am very happy. I think I look better than I did when I was small, before the implants.

I did a lot of research before choosing Dr. Mustoe to perform this procedure. I chose him because he had an impressive educational background combined with many years of experience. During my initial consultation, he explained all my options and the pros and cons of each. He then patiently answered all my questions. I did not feel rushed or pressured to choose one option over the other. He was concerned that I chose what would I felt would be right for me. I had ample time to make my decision and told Dr. Mustoe during my second consultation that I wanted to have the implants removed, followed by a breast lift. I did not want to replace the implants. We talked about this decision for quite some time. again, making sure this is what I wanted. After 36 years with implants I was concerned that there would be enough breast tissue left to create a lovely appearance. Dr. Mustoe explained that I would be small after the procedure, but he was confident he could create a good shape. It is now over a week since my surgery and I could not be happier. My breasts are beautiful and look better than I expected. I cant emphasize how important it is to take your time and choose your surgeon carefully. I am very happy with Dr. Mustoe and highly recommend him.
