I noticed when I entered puberty that one of my breasts was not growing. I had an adjustable implant put in at 16. 11 years later it ruptured due to adjustable implants being more of a temporary solution. I was seen right away and had surgery 3 days later. Procedure was done in the office, very easy procedure and recovery. Very satisfied with my results. Having the implant has changed my life and well worth it.

At age 16, I saw many plastic surgeons about my deformity. All of them made me uncomfortable or didn't take the time to make me comfortable with them before removing my shirt. All except Dr. Martin. Dr. Martin continues to be a very knowledgeable, skilled, and compassionate surgeon who can make any situation be just that...just something you will go through, not a traumatic event.

Thank you for sharing your story with us on RealSelf. I'm happy to hear that your adjustable implant lasted for 11 years. What type of implant did you get this time? About what size? So glad you're happy...congratulations!
