I Had a Blast but it's time for them to GO! - Treasure Coast, FL

Five years ago, I finally decided to get breast implants after I've been debating it for ten years. During my consultation, I told the doctor that I wanted to be a full "C" cup as I was currently a 36B. I left his office feeling confident he would deliver on my request. So I paid the deposit, went through Pre-Op, and had the surgery done within a month. The doctor was very generous as filled both saline implants with 550cc. I am now a 38DD!
For almost two years I've been going through the motions to have them removed and finally I've made the choice to get them explant. They're too heavy (4.5lbs each) and I'm having shoulder and back pains and I'm constantly adjusting my bra straps for comfort(I was professionally sized so the bra size wasn't the issue). I'm ready to get them out NOW!

I had my first explant consultation about two weeks ago with Dr. John Porcaro, a cosmetic surgeon. I told him that I was interested in getting the removal and my reasoning. He, arrogant as he was, told me that he would perform the implant removal that wasn't his, a bilateral mastopecy, and a capsulectomy all for $6500. I looked at him as if he didn't understand my ONLY request. He didn't even bother to explain why he came up with the recommendations for the two additional procedures and left saying that the patient coordinator would give me price quotes. I left his office feeling defeated.

After I left his office, I drove past a plastic surgeon office and decided to do a walk in. The doctor wasn't there so I chatted with the nurse for a bit and told her my story. She gave me hope and I scheduled my consultation with Dr. Viggiano, even though they charge a $45 fee, for September 18. I've researched him and he's done some charity work in poor countries so I'm hoping he'll be willing to do a simple explant for a reasonable cost. Keeping fingers crossed! :)

Today was my consultation with Dr. Viggiano and he was a breath a fresh air. He was very passionate and caring. I told him what I wanted, implant removal only, and he agreed. He didn't try to recommend procedures that I didn't need and was very understanding. He was the complete opposite of the first doctor I went to. His staff was friendly and helped me through out the appointment.

I was so impressed by the service that he and his staff provided that I went ahead and scheduled my explant surgery for November 20. I'm super excited to finally be moving on to the next stage of operation implant removal.

Thank you all for your support. I'm so ready to be me again! :)
