I was shaking & cold this was followed by serve pain in my mid back & chest I had my BA silicone 425cc mentor dual plane placed 3 weeks.A&E say my blood is consistent with infection. I had drains fitted & a small hole been leaking yellow fluid very small amount since the op.they said it didnt show signs of infection. The right breast is slightly swollen & warmer I had antibiotics post op for 5 days. Its hard to breath deeply I have no bruising & the scar isnt particularly red.
Had explant surgery and doctor recommended capsule be left in, so I did. No drains with that surgery. After two months I'm having blood building up, have had it aspirated twice removing about 100 cc's each time. Then a drain was put in for almost two weeks. It's been removed and is still filling up, but more slowly. I am worried about infxn, doctor says no, instead he's saying I have capsulitis. I can't find anything about this when I google it. What are odds this will resolve by itself?
Im scheduled for a textured implant removal (subglandular) d/t pain and suffering. During initial consult we discussed having drains and binder, no options provided for a capsulectomy. After further research it suggests that a capsulectomy is advised; however its more invasive, longer surgery time, and cost more. Would you perform a capsulectomy or not?
I am presently on my second aspiration after Subpectoral Explantation WITHOUT CAPSULECTOMY. The capsules filled up with a serous fluid that was aspirated by an interventional radiologist after almost 4 months postop. The seromas refilled and this time, the radiologist placed Argon Skater Drains. The plan is to leave these in place for two months as long as no signs of infection occur. If this does not work, should I have a Total Capsulectomy, or would a partial be OK. BII is a concern.
Im having a total capsulectomy and bilateral implant removal done next week. My friend told me her drains collected fluid, blood and tissue when she had hers removed. I was wondering what the leftover tissue is that the drain removes? She described it as white, thin and stringy. Is it left over from the capsule? Confused because she got a total capsulectomy and her surgeon confirmed he was able to remove it all.
I have saline implants under the muscle and would like my implants and capsules removed. The 12 year old implants look to be in great condition, and there is no sign of contracture. Although I do not want a breast lift, Im concerned I might need one. My hope is to have my saline implants drained in-office to see if I need/want a lift on the day of my explant. Can saline implants be drained in-office a week or two Before explant? Can capsules still be removed if implants are drained prior?
Decided to explant with capsulectomy. I had three sets of implants within five years before explanting. Last set were 215cc Right after explant procedure, I noticed both breasts looking deformed. My PS said it was because of the drains and when removed, my breasts will look normal. Drains were removed a couple days ago, my breasts still look deformed. I am 4 days post op, and worried that these results are permanent. Are these results normal to have right after an explant procedure
