22 months update
My apologies for not being on here sooner. Since I've had my implants removed under local I've learned the importance of having your capsule scar tissue removed at the same time as you're implants.. I actually am learning the hard way because I'm needing to go back in to have another surgery done I'm scheduled for that surgery for August 9, 2017 which is next Wednesday. I'm going in and having this doctor remove my scar tissue capsules that were left behind with both my previous implants and also perform a lift . I recently found out how important it is to have your scar tissue removed at the same time as your implant . My first set of implants were textured Saline mentor I had them in from 1997 to 2009 I had them removed and had smooth cohesive silicone gel mentor replaced.

A lot of the plastic surgeons play it down but I have seen a few women who have been diagnosed with this horrible cancer. So I want to have my scar tissue removed and sent off to pathology. I'm praying that it all comes back negative and that I am fine. My heart and prayers go out to the women who have been diagnosed with this horrible unnecessary cancer. And my hopes that more plastic surgeons are going to take this particular cancer more serious and stop playing it down .
There are a few wonderful support groups on Facebook that are there for women who have that particular cancer and women who have breast implant illness.
I'm going to insert a recent photo that I took. And I will be updating the site with my results from my lift as well .

8 week review
Hello ladies !
I just wanted to stop in and give an update. I notice between the six week and seven weeks my breast tissue started firming up and not being so Jell-O like. My right breast still has a little bit of a concaved indentation right underneath my nipple , my biggest suspicion for the reason why it does that, is it's the scar tissue that built up underneath, because that's where I originally went to have my implants inserted . I think my right breast looks a bit sad. But it's my breast and I love them very much. I know a lot changes happens from the time that you remove your breast implants and a year out. I can't expect my body to bounce right back to the way it used to look before I decided to stick huge implants in my body and stretch my skin out for the last 18 years. I feel very blessed with the outcome that I already have after just eight weeks. My left breast is coming along very nicely I'm very happy. I'm hoping my right breast will fluff a little bit because I noticed that there's about half of a cup size difference but it was always like that pre-implant . My left side was always bigger . I'm gonna wait maybe about six months postop and see how my fluffing is at that point because I'm considering doing fat transfer! I'm still doing a lot of research on it.

Provider Review
Dr. T.Y Steven Ip
I am very pleased with the knowledge patients and how professional doctor Ip is ! His staff makes you feel very welcomed . If I ever had any questions or concerns Dr. Ip and his staff got back to me right away . I always feel like they had me in their best interest. It doesn't feel like he's out for a buck trying to sell you something or talk you into a procedure . I highly recommend Dr. Ip , One of the most caring plastic surgeons I've ever met! I will be going back to him for any future surgeries that I'm going to get . I'm very pleased with my outcome, and how well taken care of I felt through my whole process .
