I Also Had an Emergency Hematoma Drained 400ccs Recently.
With any surgery there is a risk of bleeding and hematoma formation. The risk usually is less in an implant removal procedure than the original breast augmentation, but even in this procedure the risk is greater than 0%.
A month ago I had a lift (to fix tubular breasts/puffy nipples, w/ptosis-my breasts had looked like that since puberty) with 330(rt) 360(l) submusc. B to C cup. I lost all nipple sensation (areolae were reduced a lot). I'm considering explant due to the fake look, though I'll wait a few months. I have new stretchmarks under the nipples, inside, from the tight lift. If I explant: 1. Will the breasts maintain the lifted look?; 2. Might I regain nipple sensation due to less pressure from implants?
Thanks for your question -
I agree whole heartedly with your impulse to wait a few more months. Implants typically sit somewhat high immediately after surgery. They may take 3-4 months to settle. This is also true with nerve recovery. Typically half of patients that have issues with sensation after these procedures recover with time.
If you choose to remove the implants you will likely lose some of the benefit from the implants.
You should definitely talk to your surgeon about your concerns.
I hope this helps!
I have spoken to a psychologist and we determined that I was not mentally prepared for breast augmentation and I prefer to be back to my natural state. I have been battling emotional issues on the explantation, I am terrified and on meds because I am afraid I will never get through this.
I have 400 CC's, under the muscle, 9 weeks post op, and I was a small B before my augmentation. I use to lift chest weights, im not sure if that will help. Any predictions on my results and recovery?
In my 30years of breast enlargement surgery surgery I have had numerous patients develop an early fear or dislike of the implants. I have worked with all of them and convinced 100% to keep them in for at least 6 months or longer. After six months not a single one wanted the implants out. You are experiencing a sort of early buyers remorse of implants. DO NOT REMOVE THEM FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE. THIS WOULD BE REDICULOUS. Keep and enjoy them and forget you have them. They will become you and you will be delighted. This is an early phenomena and it will pass. Keep the implants for 6 months and you will keep them forever. If a psychologist says remove them get a second opinion psychologist. KEEP THEM. YOU ARE GOING THROUGH A COMMON EARLY ANXIETY THAT WILL PASS. ENJOY YOU NEW LOOK.
