WORTH IT
I am very confident and happy having Dr. C. do my explant. He's very experienced and does many of them. I have had another procedure by him and he is top notch. He's very caring of the patient and a true artist. I can't wait to be rid of the toxic implants. I'll be free to hug deeply, run and jump, sleep on my stomach, buy a bra anywhere and wear anything without looking too provocative and having it fit. I know my body is constantly fighting off this foreign object and it takes a toll on ones health. I really can't wait to be free and healthy. He will be using a local numbing at his office surgery center. It should take about 40 minutes. I will update before and after.

Still unable to get consult with PS or questions answered yet they took my down payment.
I don't understand how the front desk can be so rude. Do they not realize this reflects on the doctor? I was never able to get a consult with Dr. Chalekson. I was only able to schedule explant through the front desk. When I emailed questions they were never returned. When I asked questions the front desk particularly Kathleen, were down right rude. I don't feel confident when the doctor won't see me yet insisted my paying $500 to schedule an un-diagnosed surgery.

This is terrible! Were you able to schedule a consultation yet???

Thanks ees15. I am going for a consult next week with a different PS. This is a small town area so the standards aren't like they should be. I'm going for a consult out of town. Better to have it done right.

Boo! I am glad you chose another provider. Hopefully your review will help others to make an informed choice and help this practice grow up!

Sorry! This post is from my previous review and consult with Dr. Chalekson in Templeton, Ca. I have now gone to Dr. Chapple in Santa Barbara and am explanting next week! Very confident.

Great Consult with Dr. Chapple
Dr. Chapple made me feel really at east. He's very gentle and comforting. I felt he had done so many explants that he was an expert. He even drew images of the surgery for me to understand the exact procedure. That is never done! He's from England and has a great bedside manner. He speaks to you with kindness, gentleness and as an equal. He goes into great detail to give you the best explanation for your questions. I feel very at east and confident with him. He is submitting the request to my insurance. I am waiting on approval and then I will book a date!

So glad you didn't rush into things with the other PS! Do you have a date? How long have you had your implants and do you have cc. My right is a baker III but I've never had any pain with either...Thank you Lord!

Thank you! I do have a date as of today. So excited! I am explanting April 7th in Santa Barbara. I've had my implants since 2007. My right is contracted. Read my update if you like for more detail about cc. Good luck to you!!!

I had my revision in 2007. I had my first implants in 1986. So, I've had implants in for 29 years! I was originally a large A and went to a smaller C. After 2007 I am 36DDD. Way too large!
