I had breast implant removal/explant under local anesthesia in the office with Dr. Wu and I couldn’t have hoped for a better experience. From the initial consult, where photos were taken and she was able to show me a digitally rendered version of what I could expect with each option, I felt heard and my concerns respected. I lost a lot of sensation after having breast implants placed and a lift previously (with a different surgeon) so frankly, I wanted to be done with the implants with as little intervention as possible. I had the option to do explant with a lift with full anesthesia or just the removal under local anesthesia. I chose the 2nd option. Alma was very kind and helpful in explaining the administrative side of scheduling, payment, etc. The nurse Susan was super sweet and caring and really helped me feel at ease, particularly just before and during the procedure.

The procedure itself was more “surgery-like” than I was expecting since it was just local anesthesia (you are in an OR suite on an OR table) but Dr. Wu and the rest of the staff were great at keeping me comfortable, talking me through the procedure, and just overall making it a positive experience.

I am four days post-op now but feeling so much better having my implants removed. I didn’t have complications with them aside from the numbness and altered sensation from the original surgery (no capsular contracture, rupture, etc) they just weren’t what I wanted any longer. I follow up in the office in 10 days but I’ve been able to manage any discomfort with just Tylenol after the first day. I am so so glad I decided to have the implants removed and that I chose to have the procedure with Dr. Wu.
