There is an adage that goes, "When the student is ready, the teach appears." One day, a friend mentioned Stanley P. Frileck, M.D., a doctor known and respected for doing reconstructive surgery. His office, it turned out, was a 10-minute walk from home.

I trusted him the second he came into the room. He said to me, "Your nose doesn't fit your face." Thank God, I thought. FInally. He listened intently as I described what I wanted. "You've been looking at your nose and seeing mistakes and regrets," he told me. "You need to take all that history, shove it in a drawer, lock it and toss away the key." He's right, I though as I walked home. It was time to step away from my past plastic surgery mistakes and all the self-recriminations.

I could say that I wish I had met Dr. Frileck 18 years ago thereby sparing myself all the distress I went through (not to mention the expense). I could say that, but it wouldn't be true. I've learned important lessons about taking charge of what I want, about letting go of the past, about listening to my instincts.

He did admit there was a 50 percent chance that my breast would reencapsulate, but he reiterated that is I took the implants our completely, I might regret it. I needed a second opinion - I knew what I wanted, and that doctor wasn't helping me. That's when a friend told me about Dr. Frileck. I went to his office for a consultation and immediately felt comfortable with him. We scheduled the operation to remove my implants for April 24,
