He is amazing! Takes time to listen and answers any questions you have. Gives you he's cell phone number so you can call him directly the day of surgery in case you have any questions. He’s stuff is superior friendly and kind.

Words cannot express how thankful I am for Dr. Rankin and his team. My explant surgery was so much easier than I anticipated. I feel alive again! Most of my BII symptoms have disappeared. I’m very happy with results so far and it’s only been 3 weeks. I have no regrets.

How do you express gratitude to someone who has truly changed your life? Dr. Rankin embodies surgical excellence and compassion for women seeking to reclaim their well-being. From our initial consultation, I sensed Dr. Rankin's expertise and genuine care. His surgical precision, advocacy within the BII community, and kindness are the reason he has earned his distinction as one of the BEST explant surgeons. Supported by the exceptional team at Aqua, my journey through explant surgery was not only smooth but also surprisingly stress-free. The results speak volumes: a seamless procedure, a swift recovery, and an aesthetic outcome that exceeds expectations. And the greatest reward? I am free from my 54 debilitating BII symptoms after just 10 weeks. Dr. Rankin and the Aqua Plastic Surgery team have not only transformed my life but also restored hope for my family. Grateful beyond words.

My experience with the Dr. Rankin and the Aqua staff was exceptional. I didn't have many BII symptoms but just reading about BII and knowing that I was carrying toxic bags inside of me prompted me to explant as aoon as possible. It was only a matter of time when I would develop major health issues that I didn't want to endure. Thank you to Dr. Rankin and staff I was able to explant on April 2023. My self confidence has improved from 20 yrs ago. I love my body and Thank God that I'm heathy and thriving in my lat 50's. If you're on the fence about explanting due to not having symptoms I'm here to tell you take the leap and do it sooner than later, while you can. We are never promised tomorrow. #AQUANGELS #FREEDOMAs an incentive for posting a review, this reviewer received an entry into RealSelf’s monthly $500 gift card giveaway

Dr. Rankin and his staff (Paula, Tosha, Tammy, Maurine, and Jeff) provided excellent care to me during my recent explant surgery. Over the past three years my BII symptoms crushed my life and was not sure I would ever feel myself again. Thank you Dr. Rankin for your confident and compassionate bedside manner the day of surgery, putting my fears at ease by explaining every detail and rationale. As I woke up after surgery I immediately felt like a new person, noticing 20 of my 25 symptoms were gone. It is an incredible blessing to feel myself again and I am beyond happy with my results! I never thought my results could be this amazing! Dr. Rankin will always hold a special place in my heart for giving me my health and life back. I am so thankful I waited for Dr. Rankin and his team. There is no one else I would trust other than Dr. Rankin and his team to guide me through the entire explant journey!!

I can’t describe how blessed I feel having chosen Dr. Rankin. From the very moment he walked into the room I felt safe. He’s truly such an incredibly down to earth and caring doctor. He made me feel validated and calm. I’m so beyond thankful to have followed my gut and intuition that he was who would give me my life back. Today is day 4 and while I am in pain, I feel that I’m thinking more clearly and getting better breaths now. My husband said the next morning that my face even looks different. Like my skin is glowing with more color and the white of my eyes are brighter. Ladies, if you are experiencing any of the symptoms associated with BII and feel like you’re trapped in a body that is failing you, PLEASE consider explant. You are GORGEOUS without them and never let anyone else convince you otherwise. If you are getting them out, Dr. Rankin is by far the best choice hands down.

My experience with Dr. Rankin was very satisfactory. Travel from PR. When I spoke to him for the first time, he listened carefully, explained the procedure, he gave me the opportunity to ask questions and I felt very confident. I waited my turn for surgery and it was the best decision of my life. The most I liked was that he has a lot of knowledge, he is detail-oriented, the communication, the organization of his office, the attention, the staff is very attentive and trained. I felt comfortable and confident with the process. My life has changed positively. I have felt changes immediately. I feel very happy. The results are wonderful. I have not suffered from pain and my wounds have healed successfully. I am grateful to Dr. Rankin and his team. You will always have my recommendation. I chose it because I knew it was in the right hands with a special team, committed and dedicated to helping and I was not wrong.

Dr Rankin was so kind and compassionate. He did an amazing job with my explant. Called me the night after surgery concerned about my well being. My recovery is going extremely well, I will be able to resume my workouts in couple of weeks. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

RANKIN, thank you for making me feel so comfortable. You have this posture about you that is confident yet calming but also very reassuring - you have great energy!

It’s rare to find a doctor who truly cares, everyone I spoke to about you had exceptional things to say and I just knew you were for the doctor me. Thank you for everything. DEE- thank you for everything, literally everything from the moment we first spoke to the day I left.

Aqua is lucky to have you on their team ! MARINA- thank you for answering my million in one questions with such patience , you’re amazing !

Dr Rankin, you have an amazing practice that truly cares about their patients, I could feel the love. You all have such a special place in my heart! All my Best , Deanne (REVIEW500)

After many symptoms, I decided to remove my breast implants. I searched and looked for a doctor and after many recommendations I found Dr. Rankin. I am very grateful and happy after my surgery. He has great bedside manner and treats all his patients with kindness. Natali from the clinic was very special to me during my process of the surgery. She answered all my questions and made sure I was prepared for before, during and after my surgery. I am now more than one month post op and I feel great. The recovery time was short and I have no symptoms as of yet. A special thank you to Dr. Rankin as he is the best surgeon!!!
