Wow... things are going great and I have even been able to work half days. I am still having to watch my movement and get sore if I over extend or use repetitive movements, like typing on a keyboard or using a mouse. My breast are looking better and better each day. Thank you, Dr. Melmed!

Quite Extraordinary.....
A man's perspective:
This year I participated in the discovery and journey of having silicone breast implants removed. No, not mine. These were my wife's implants, but I participated in some of the global search and evaluation that she worked on for many years.
My lovely wife has had a series of implants installed, removed and replaced before I met her, and this spanned over 20 years. Looking back through her medical history, she began to piece together and correlate many vague but persistent health symptoms possibly related to the implants. This discovery process took a few years, and she reached the decision to go back to her natural self and have them removed, with the intent of never looking back.
A previous implant removal that she had done several years ago resulted in a large amount of sagging despite the big downsizing (or maybe because of it).
Dr. Melmed and the staff.
Other than some old skiing buddies who are physicians, Dr. Melmed is the most straight-forward doctor I've ever spoken with...especially as the operating physician. He is very thorough, extremely knowledgeable, has a great sense of humor, very easy to work with. Dr. Melmed and the staff are like family—they get to know you personally and what you want. They told my wife exactly what will happen, what she will feel and what the recovery will be like.
The procedure and results.
There is a solid hour of discussion with the doctor and staff: what the procedure entails, how long it will take, what to do after the operation for proper healing (and importantly what not to do). Follow the basic directions and you'll be fine. My wife had some tenderness in the breast area for the first few days, as they said, and it actually began dissipating the day after the procedure.
As far as appearance goes, my wife and I were shocked to see how good her breasts looked the day after surgery. Why? There are two main reasons I can think of: one is that she has had large implants removed once before (that doctor simply removed them and sent her home)--her own breasts were saggy as a result. The second reason is the internal and external lifting that Dr. Melmed performed. Her breasts look like those of a perky 30 year old, and not those of someone who is twice that age. Yes, there is a bit of healing still to be done, but they are simply getting better by the day.
Other benefits.
In the years I have known her, my wife has always suffered from some nebulous allergies...sneezing, sniffling and generally a dragging feeling. Allergists discovered no causes, but they were cognizant of her symptoms. We had never found any correlations either. During the first week after the implant removal, she has put-out only two sneezes that I've heard. Huh?? I'm accustomed to hearing an almost constant barrage of sneezing and sniffling, no matter what part of the country we are visiting. The silicone bags didn't seem to be leaking (I looked at them after removal) , but who knows...and it could also be the outer lining that has caused her body to react. It's a strange foreign object in the breast area
Overall, it was a great experience. I seriously encourage you to talk with Dr. Melmed about the procedure if you have an interest in getting back to a natural body and possibly better health as a result.

This was the best decision I ever made. I am feeling so much healthier and yes... no more allergies or rhinitis or whatever term was putting on my continuous sneezing and post nasal drip. Amazing no one ever thought of the silicone breast implants being the cause of all my allergies! Hmmm... oh well.. they are gone for good now! YAY!

It has been a week and I am feeling great, but limited in what I can do still, due to surgery and still healing. I sure do not want to rip up all the intricate detailing of Dr. Melmed's handiwork. :)
I absolutely love the "heart shaped" bandages on me... what a sweet detail for my surgeon, Dr. Melmed, to add to my new beautiful and oh so happy boobies!
Please send me a private message and your email if you would like to see my before and after pics. I will be more than happy to share them with you, but not publicly.

I don't know how to private message you, but I would like to see your before and after photos if you're still willing. I've also had over the muscle implants removed and need to have a second procedure to make them look hopefully normal again
