Dr. Rankin is an incredible surgeon and an expert in breast implant removal with and without a lift. He is a caring and meticulous surgeon. Dr. Rankin always told me exactly what his plan was or would be based on what was best for me and my health as well as aesthetically. Thank you for believing in Breast Implant Illness, and for all you do for women going through this illness. I explanted on June 14th 2021 and “I can breathe” was the first thing I said when I woke up from anesthesia. I’ve had my implants since April 2001, and in 20 years I hadn’t realized just how short of breath I actually was. Many of my BII symptoms have resolved or are starting to go away. Dr. Rankin, Dee Hicks and the entire team made me feel so calm and safe throughout the entire day of my explant. You are in great hands!!! Thank you Dr. Rankin so much for everything!!! Finally feeling myself again. @lacarnp @davidrankinmd @deehicks

I had Breast Explant and a Lift with Dr. Rankin on March 31, 2021. I cannot say enough about the process from the beginning and continuing. I got breast implants in December 2006 (under the muscle). 6 Months after my implants, I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, Severe Migraines, inflammation, and most recently a heart condition. I never put two and two together until I saw a local...

My experience at Aqua Plastic Surgery has been wonderful. Dr. Rankin is skilled, knowledgeable and caring. My results are far better than I ever imagined. Not only was my experience with Dr. Rankin pleasant but also with Dee Hicks. I would not have been able to have this surgery done if it weren’t for her. She went above and beyond to make sure I received wonderful treatment. She’s also ver...

I had my breast explant surgery on July 2nd. That evening Dr. Rankin called to check on me which was a very pleasant surprise. His entire team was amazing, I had no anxiety thanks to their approach the day of surgery and woke up perfectly fine from anesthesia. Dr. Rankin's bedside manner portrays compassion and empathy towards his patients. His ability as a surgeon is outstanding and his technique is surely the best in his field. I was never in pain after surgery and had no need for medication. I am very happy with the overall process and I feel that cosmetically he was able to achieve a beautiful result. Even though I am smaller than before I am healthier and more confident. Thank you also to his Surgical Coordinator Dee Hicks as she was instrumental in keeping me calm in the weeks prior and after my procedure.

I’m 41 years old and on June 4. 2021 Dr. Rankin removed my 550 cc mentor silicone breast implants with a lift! I knew from previous reviews and pictures that I wanted nobody else to perform this surgery and I’m so glad I chose him! I was his first patient that day so it was early and I was a bit nervous but he took his time to go over the whole process and was so kind and calm and caring!! His staff was very friendly and when I entered the operating room there was calm music playing and I was covered with a warm blanket and the anesthesiologist and nurse where the sweetest ever! The surgery went well with zero complications and When I woke up my husband was right next to me and the first thing I said was omg I can breathe so much better!! I chose the nerve block and the Meyers cocktail&banana bag and I could not believe how good I felt!!! Minimal to no pain, no nausea no bruising and I absolutely love my result but most importantly he gave me my life back!! I had a lot of BII symptoms and most of them are gone and I’m only 7 weeks weeks post op! My scars already look amazing and I am so happy being all natural again and my girls look so good!! Post op Whenever I had any questions Dr Ranking answered them immediately!! He truly is my hero and I can not thank him enough!!!!! I can’t wait to see more improvement as I continue to heal! Thank you Dr. Rankin

I am 6 months out from my explant and I can not express adequately how happy I am with the decision to explant and for choosing Dr. Rankin as my surgeon. Not only am I almost completely symptom free and off all of my harsh drugs but I love how my breasts look!! Ladies finding an experienced surgeon is critical. Dr. Rankin is kind and has a heart for what he is doing. Dee Hicks his liaison was so helpful in answering all questions prior to surgery and getting me to the table feeling confident in my decision. I can’t leave out the OR staff and the CRNA. It was a great experience and I would do it all again! I have my life back. Forever grateful! Tonya

Dr. Rankin is such a skilled surgeon! He is known as the explant expert and has helped so many women overcome BII, but he is also so talented in so many other areas! I am only 4 days post-op from a tummy tuck and lipo to my flanks. When I look in the mirror, I am amazed at how good I look! He exceeded my expectations and I am so blessed to have him as my surgeon. His staff is so helpful and kind. They took such good care of me and I just love going in to see everyone! He has given me my confidence back and I'll be forever grateful to him for that!

I had my explant and lift with Dr. Rankin in May. I am 8 weeks post op and I feel and look great. The doctor and his staff were so comforting and kind. I flew from San Diego to Jupiter, FL and waited 10 months for my surgery! I trusted them and just went with the flow until my surgery day. The logistics of travels, medication, etc. was all worth it and pretty easy to plan. Operation day and...

Dr. Rankin is hands down, the most skilled, caring and empathetic surgeon out there. He is also an artist. My results are beyond my expectations, which were high. I not only physically feel better but emotionally I full whole, I feel more beautiful now while still recovering than I ever felt with my implants. Dr. Rankin truly listens and cares for his patients and in my most vulnerable...
