I've had textured allergan bio cell breast implants under the muscle about 14 yrs . I had no illnesses prior, then less than a year after getting them i developed crippling migraines then as yrs went on i got chronic nerve pain in my chest, then my back and last 4 yrs I've got unexplained pudendal type symptoms also i get nerve pain in my feet , basically nerve is wide spread, I've had MRI scans on my back my pelvis and noting explains my symptoms. I've fibromyalgia now too.
Once implants have been removed, what happens to the pocket? Does it fill back in? Also, how much of your regular breast tissue is sacrificed with the explant surgery? I've had Cohesive Silicone Gel implants for 5 years 350 CC, sub-muscular. I'm 50 years old. What are the chances I'll go back to pre-BA size?
35yoF s/p submuscular HP mentor memory gel 450cc silicone breast implants placed in 2016, initially 32A, now 34D wanting breast implant removal for heaviness/back discomfort after pregnancy/breast feeding x2 and thus skin no longer supporting the weight of the implants. No intention to reimplant but understand I will need mastopexy. Have gotten mixed opinions on whether to proceed with capsulectomy or not. Will capsulectomy affect aesthetic result? I am thin with little breast tissue.
Im 30 years old and have had texturized silicone breast implants for 12 years, to fix a severe tuberous breast deformity. My mom died of breast cancer and I do not longer want to have these implants inside of me due to health concerns. The doctor I saw wants to make two separate surgeries, one for removal with the capsule. And a second one in six months for fat transfer. I want to ask if this is normal or can it be done in one surgery? I feel uncomfortable going through two surgeries
42 year old mum of three having surgery in July. Staying in overnight but when I asked how long I need off work and will be unable to drive, the Dr said a week off work and driving but if off my painkillers I can drive in three days. This seems very quick to me? Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks in advance
6 months ago I had 20-yr old large implants removed and a lift. I noticed my skin stretching slightly off of my sternum after getting the original implants but since they have been removed, its obviously much. I am a bit surprised that my surgeon didnt address this recently during the X plant and lift. She did mention things like dermal matrixes, or the only way to fix it would be new implants, but seems reluctant to address it. I need a second opinion but not sure where to start.
I had breast augmentation 15 years ago with saline implants; left implant was replaced with silicone 8 years ago due to capsular contracture. Both implants (430cc saline, 445cc silicone) will be removed soon, with fat transfer (150cc per breast) without capsulectomy. Initially flat-chested at 150lbs during my first surgery, 34D/36D at 165lbs after the left implant replacement surgery; now 225lbs, wearing 42DDD/E. Hoping for full C cups post explant? Is this realistic or should I expect smaller?
Is there any reason I need to ensure all of the capsule is removed, or only capsule particles that appear calcified or thickened? Are there any studies on future complications from leaving any capsule in the breast during explant? Thank you for your insight.
I had a breast augmentation surgery 8 years ago (350 cc) and I would like to remove it now. I want to know if my breasts will look saggy after the removal? Or is it a different story from one person to another? If I had to do the breast lift, will the doctor be able to avoid using the lollipop technique ? Meaning that, can the incesion be done only on the nipples to avoid scars? I would really like to remove the implant but would like to avoid scars as much as possible. Thank you in advan
