Breast Implant Removal and Liposuction on Axillary Area - Mission Viejo, CA

I got my implants 8 years ago and it's time to remove them. I just want to be me; the natural me. I was beautiful before my surgery and I just wanted my old me back. So my search for finding the right Doctor began. Shortly after my search, I found just the right Doctor: Dr. Daniel Kim in Orange County, CA.
I'm a sucker for a good service, extra exuberant customer care, and most of all excellent after care. LOL. Yes, I love being well taken care of. Patient care should be number one priority in cosmetic surgery or in medicine period! Other than the obvious medical performance to the highest degree of course. Dr. Kim thoroughly explained the surgery itself at the first consultation spending nearly an hour with me. I truly appreciated how he took his time to explain the problems he would like to take care of and how he will take care of them during the surgery. I shared my concerns of pain management and scarring after the surgery. He said he will go in carefully and work layer by layer to reconstruct and to prevent scarring. That was a good news. Liposuction will be performed to get rid of my underarm fat as well. I'm scheduled to go in for the explant this Thursday and pretty excited about it. I will review further on his staff (nurse Lisa and other staff at a later post), so stay tuned as I hope to help others by sharing my journey with Realself beauties.

I thought I'd share the list of procedures that I'm getting this Thursday.
Removal of bilateral breast implants
Bilateral capsulectomy
Scar revision of arreola: to prevent the puckering
Liposuction of the anteriar axillary area

Some of you asked about how to get rid of the underarm fat or the bra fat after breast implant removal surgery. During my first consultation, Dr. Kim brought it up even before I did which was a big plus. So there it is. I hope this list gives an insight on possible choices during an implant removal surgery. I like choices.

Gosh, to tell you the truth I'm a bit nervous going into a surgery again. Well this will be my 3rd surgery. I had a hematoma on my right breast which then I had to go in for another surgery to clean out and get a drain 7days after my first breast implant surgery. So, I'm nervous to go through another surgery. Before going into the first surgery, my expected recovery time was 3-4 days, but I ended up staying in bed for the entire month! The whole 30 days. My poor body went through so much pain and I really don't want to go through that again. I shared this concern with Dr. Kim and he said he will give me a shot before I leave so that the ride home will be more manageable.

The hospital called me yesterday to remind me not to eat or drink anything for 8 hours. I'm not sure how I will do without any water for 8hours in this heat. Did I mention that my surgery is in the afternoon? Wish me luck Realself beauties.

I will tell you more about it later when I'm feeling better.
