WORTH IT$7,650
I got sub muscular cohesive gel implants Sep. 2009 in NYC. Dr. Jennifer Walden was my surgeon. I had debated for about 7 years because I breast fed 3 children and my boobs deflated. Fast-forward 6 years and I totally regret doing it. In fact, I regretted getting them right afterwards. Sure, they looked a while, but the left sits higher than the right (a preexisting condition), and I have had one health issue after another.
After a HUGE health scare last year (being hit with the "C" word), being able to afford to get these toxic bags out has been a fantasy. I originally planned to go with Dr. Hordenski, because I was scared how they would look post explant and he offers "scarless" lift (I had a Facetime consult with him--very friendly). I was super nervous about scars since I now have a huge abdominal scare from n emergency surgery ;ast year. But, at the end of the day, it is more important than anything to have them removed using the "en bloc" method, and who is more qualified than Dr. Lu-Jean Feng? She takes a holistic approach to medicine and even sends pre and post vitamins as well as soups, which is right up my alley since I am now vegan and using nutrition to heal and stay healthy. Updates to come.

I received a call from Linda saying there is an opening for surgery Dec. 30. I am so happy I don't have to wait until February. I sort of wish I could afford a lift, but I know GOD will work everything out. They are overnighting the vitamins/packet, so I should receive everything today. Will post pics when I receive the package. I ordered a Fruit of the Loom - Comfort Front-Close Sports Bra, Style 96014, 4-pack from Wal-Mart a few weeks ago, plus 4 packs of men tank tops. Pray for me, ladies!

Hi I have mine scheduled for January 6 th and just praying every day. I would like to be in touch with someone who is going through the same procedure as me. I've only had mine for a year but I feel like I should have them removed for my future and my body. God will be with you. I hope your surgery goes great and your recovery is fast.

Hi,
My surgery is scheduled for a week from tomorrow, 01/27 with Dr. Feng. I'm very nervous and praying all goes well. I'm from Maryland and a winter storm is headed here this werkend which has me more worried. Hoping I'll be able to drive there as planned. Hope all goes well with your surgery as well as the others on this thread. Thanks

Well I had a major set back yesterday! When they say don't move your arms they mean it! 10 days post op I was changing my 1 year old diaper. I extended my arm too far while lifting her legs. I felt a pop and that was it. My left breast immediately filled with blood and my perfect little breasts that dr. Feng worked so hard to recreate was gone. The blood filled me up so fast I had a DD cup in about 3 minutes. I had emergency surgery to caudarize and stitch the leaker. Set myself back 3 weeks! And am now worry that my left breast will be all messed up! Listen to your nurses and Doctor. Don't move your arms.
