61 Years Old - Implant Removal and Lift - Folsom, CA

25 Years ago, 360 silicone under the muscle; originally small A cup, after was full C which took years to settle in. Both mammory folds/pockets needed to be lowered to accommodate implant. Dr. wasn't successful on one side at lowering pocket so one side sat much higher and doctor wouldn't correct. Had to wait 7 years before I could afford another surgery with another doctor to correct it. Then 25 years later I had immense pain in breast nipple area in the middle of the night laying flat on my back for no reason. It felt like the implant was trying to jump out of my skin. It happened several times; I had to grab my breast and slowing roll over before it stopped. That took me into my doctor for a check up and they wouldn't do an MRI, cost wise, so they okay an ultra sound. That ultra sound determined the left breast had a rupture, this was the side that was redone 17 years ago. The right side, 25 years old, showed no sign of rupture. At 61 I decided it was time for them to go; hated them all my 25 years because I was a very private type; mother didn't know; daughter didn't know; only a friend or two in all those years. So, they were always too big, especially as I gained weight, and I've been hiding them forever. 25 years ago, I bought my self confidence; and it worked; I never felt inadequate again! I was confident. And again, it was for me, and no one else. So, now I was petrified to go through a surgery, but I kind of looked forward to not having to hide behind dark baggy clothing; I missed wearing white and fitted feminine clothing that I used to wear before the BA. So I set my surgery appointment with original doctor and meanwhile interviewed with several others to get other opinions as to whether a lift was needed. They all said I needed a lift due to the low level of my nipples. I stayed with my original doctor since she was in my health insurance group and offered the best service and the best rate. And it turned out she had 28 years of experience and that experience paid off. She was the best! To the tune of having no pain after a 4 hour surgery which took a little longer due to a mass hematoma she had to clean out and remove, plus the the lift. The only thing I felt was the bottom incisions which felt a little tight. But I only used the antibiotics and didn't need the pain medication at all.
