My Explant Journey with Dr. Rankin. Making the decision to have my explant surgery was not an easy one. It’s something deeply personal — emotional, even — and I knew I needed to find the right doctor I could trust with my body and my health. After so much research and reading, everything kept leading me back to Dr. Rankin. From the very first visit, I felt an immediate sense of peace. Dr. Rankin’s energy is hard to explain in one word — calm, confident, and genuinely caring. He truly listens, never rushes you, and makes you feel seen and understood. On the day of my surgery, I felt completely safe and supported — he even called me that evening to check in and see how I was feeling. That meant the world to me. A special thank you to Jackie, Paula, Dee and the entire office staff — each one of them is so kind, professional, and compassionate. You can tell they all love what they do and truly care about their patients. I went in the next day for my follow-up, and I couldn’t believe how amazing I felt — not just physically, but emotionally too. I knew I had made the right choice. This experience has been life-changing. I feel lighter, healthier. I will forever be grateful to Dr. Rankin and his incredible team for their care, compassion, and dedication. From the bottom of my heart. 💕 Thank you 🙏🏼

I had an amazing experience with my explant! Dr Rankin is caring, professional and compassionate. I had 3 great surgeons to pick from in the South Florida area and I am 100% satisfied and glad I chose him to do my surgery. His whole staff is great. Gwen and Arlene were amazing! Gwen went above and beyond. They took great care of me during preop and post op. I want to thank Tammy as well. Lauren was awesome at getting my surgery date moved up as soon as she had an opening. Dr.Rankin was highly recommended to me by a good friend and she was right on point!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’m a 57-year-old woman who had a child at 45, and I recently made the decision to remove my breast implants for health reasons. I had them for 27 years — they were textured, and I didn’t even realize it. I’d been struggling with strange, unexplainable symptoms: chronic fatigue, brain fog, skin rashes and cracking, weight gain I couldn’t get rid of, and a persistent cough that completely disappeared the moment my implants were removed. I could finally take a full, deep breath for the first time in decades. That moment alone made everything worth it. Dr. David Rankin and his incredible staff quite literally saved my life. I was on the waitlist for a year and a half, and when my surgery got moved up from May to January 2025, I was overjoyed. I traveled from Orlando to Jupiter, stayed in a hotel, and had my procedure at 6 a.m. Everything went perfectly from start to finish. The care I received was outstanding — professional, compassionate, and thorough. Dr. Rankin is not only a skilled surgeon, but someone who truly listens and cares. I am so grateful to have these implants out of my body and feel like myself again. I highly, highly recommend Dr. Rankin and his team — 150,000%! I’m even planning to return to him for a tummy tuck. If you’re considering explant surgery, trust me: he’s the one.

I had explant surgery with Dr. Rankin a week ago, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the entire experience. I had my implants in for 20 years, so this was a big decision, and I wanted to be in the best hands—and I truly was. From my very first consultation, Dr. Rankin was incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and compassionate. He took the time to listen to my concerns, thoroughly explain the procedure, and make sure I felt comfortable and confident every step of the way. A very special shoutout to Dee Hicks, the explant liaison, who was truly a guiding light throughout this journey. Dee was always available to answer my questions, provide encouragement, and help me feel supported and understood. Her kindness and empathy made such a difference, and I felt like I had a true advocate by my side. The day of surgery went smoothly, and Dr. Rankin’s entire team was professional, kind, and attentive. The pain level post-op has been minimal, and the recovery has been much easier than I anticipated. His expertise was evident in both the procedure and the beautiful, natural results I now have. If you’re considering explant surgery, I highly recommend Dr. Rankin. He treats his patients with respect and care, and I felt genuinely seen and heard throughout the entire process. Thank you, Dr. Rankin and Dee Hicks, for helping me feel like myself again.
