I had breast implants put in when I was 17 years old (by a different doctor). It was a rushed decision and I had problems from day one. Prior to having implants put in, I didn't even have a cup size. After I had implants put in, I was a 32 B, and in constant pain. I had implants for a decade, which also meant that for a decade I didn't swim, bike, run, workout, dance, play the piano, or enjoy being active. My chest hurt every single day, and I had a lot of numbness and tingling in my left arm. After 10 years, I decided enough was enough and I wanted the implants out!! I saw several plastic surgeons over the course of a year, and every single plastic surgeon tried to talk me into getting smaller implants rather than removing them altogether. I even had one plastic surgeon tell me my husband would leave me if I removed my implants. I had almost given up on the removal when I saw Dr. Rumalla... but as soon as he walked into the room, I knew he was the man for the job. He asked me why it was important to me, he went over my expectations and discussed realistic expectations, he laughed with me and took the time to listen to everything my husband and I had to say, he even answered all of our crazy ridiculous questions. He has consistently reassured me that I'm beautiful without implants, and he has been so supportive of this endeavor from the start. His staff has been so patient and compassionate, I love all of them! Surgery day was nerve wracking for me, and everyone at the surgery center made me feel so comfortable. I finally feel like myself again... I can run up and down the stairs without pain, I can ride my bike, I can hold my niece, I can play the piano again... I can do everything I did 10 years ago, but this time it means more. My family has been moved to tears several times because they say I'm finally myself again... I'm carefree and happy and confident, and they didn't think that would ever happen for me again. It was a hard decision to go from having breasts to not having any, especially in a society where looks are so important, and if it hadn't been for Dr. Rumalla I never would have had this surgery. Without Dr. Rumalla, I would still be living life on the sidelines. He has been an absolute blessing in my life!

Your husband would LEAVE you if you removed them??? Unbelievable. I'm so glad you found a supportive doctor and are feeling liberated. Thank you so much for sharing!

No, my husband would never leave me over implants. But I did have one plastic surgeon tell me during a consultation that my husband would leave me if I removed my implants. My husband and I walked out immediately after that comment was made. That's why we were SO thankful to find Dr. Rumalla. He's the only plastic surgeon we walked away from feeling like he understood my situation. A great doctor makes all the difference!! :)

I apologize this is late. But I was wondering...how come yours was so cheap? I figured it'll be more expensive. Was it covered by your insurance?

Yes, why so cheap,?
