61 Year Old with an Array of Illnesses and Symptoms in Need of an En-bloc Capsulectomy - New York, NY

I have been seriously ill with fungal, viral and bacterial infections and symptoms including SOB, brain fog and burning pain in chest and other parts of my body to name a few. This progressed over the coarse of 11 years . I had been to many specialists, diagnosed with fibromyalgia, mild COPD, ground glass nodules in my lungs and other various medical problems. Before this time I had always been physically fit, ate a healthy diet and became deathly ill. I found an Infectious disease Dr. who diagnosed and is treating me for mycotoxin poisoning, one of which is pulmonary aspergillosis. After initially reviewing my medical history, she informed me that one of her patients had the burning chest pain and had her implants removed after 16 years ( same as me) The patient's implants were found to have black slimy mold around them. My Dr. told me I should have them removed ASAP. After doing some research I found that after many years the textured silicone on the outside of the saline implants become a powder like substance and leach into breast tissue and other parts and organs in the body. I began to read blogs on this site from women who were diagnosed with capsular contractures that caused them to have autoimmunity and had similar symptoms as myself. This explained why I became so vulnerable to all of the diseases and illnesses I had and why not one Dr. with the exception of my Infectious disease Dr. could put 2 + 2 together until meeting Dr. Christina Ahn. I read that I needed to have an en-bloc capsulectomy which is a highly more complicated procedure than just having a capsulotomy. Dr Ahn is an award winning expert in her field and was further able to explain what was happening to my body in the most amazing, compassionate way. She took the time I needed to have all my questions answered in a most caring way. Dr. Ahn was able to gain my trust despite the fact that I was very skeptical of most Dr.'s as I have been suffering for so many years with no help nor explanation until now. She thoroughly explained the process and how meticulous one must be in removing my 16 years of built up scar tissue that was encapsulated around my implants and attached to my chest causing compression and fibrosis to my chest wall. My muscles had shredded and she found several infections that caused necrosis in what used to be healthy breast tissue. The removal had to be done in this manner as to not tear the implant bag which could cause further infection and not to leave any scar tissue in chest to continue to cause autoimmunity due to continuous leaching of the textured silicone.
I am now dealing with three week post op recovery which after an 8 1/2 hour surgery and being so ill, I am up and around and finally able to even do my ADL's on my own thanks to Dr. Ahn. I was so ill that my husband had to help me with my ADL's and I have been disabled since last August. I believe we all have angels looking after us and I have been blessed with actually meeting three of them: my husband, Dr. Dr. Christina Ahn and my infectious disease Dr., Irene Grant. I am not a religious person but have always been very spiritual that helped me in this situation especially being so close to death. I have learned to go with your gut that leads you to people who feel passionate about what they do to help other people. Dr. Ahn is one of those people. She helped bring quality back to my life. I am blessed. THANK YOU, DR. AHN!
