Breast Implant Removal with Breast Lift - Chicago, IL

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.
