After 37 years of breast implants I decided it was time to have them removed they began to bother me. I found the realself website and found I was not alone in this. I began reading comments from their website and felt very comfortable with going ahead with my explant. I found a plastic surgeon on realself site that had good reviews and I went for a consultation. It has been three weeks now since removal and I know I did the right thing!!!

Welcome, and thanks for sharing your story. I hope you'll enjoy being a part of this amazing community. Congratulations! Did you have a local or general anaesthetic?

I had general anaesthetic. Also I forgot to mention my plastic surgeon was Dr. Brueck in Fort Myers, Fl wonderful doctor and wonderful staff!! I would go back to him for any other plastic surgery i might have. Three months i go back for a visit with him

I am also looking for a surgeon to get my explant ASAP and didn’t realize Ft Myers had surgeons that specialized in it. I booked a consult on the east coast but maybe I will book one with Dr Brueck also. What is his average price for explant only? No lift

Did you ever get them removed? I'm also in Fort Myers looking for an explant ASAP

I had my explant in May by Dr Rankin in Jupiter, FL. It’s a 3hr drive from Ft Myers but worth it. He did an amazing job and did proper explant by removing all the capsule. I feel 100 times better.

Glad to hear you're feeling better!! How long did it take for you to get an appointment for the explant?
