Considering Breast Implant Removal -Brazil
UPDATED FROM SamEs
Went to see a doctor who is supposed to be good...
$3,000
Went to see a doctor who is supposed to be good here. His price sure hays he is supposed to be good.
I don't know, it was a downer. He really made an impression on me about how my breasts would be saggier.
He also didn't help me figure out what is the best option for me, maybe because I myself feel like every option is poop.
New implants under the muscle - shape stays, breast droops. (get the scar)
New implants over the muscle - no real chance, except they won't be as hard for a couple of years.
Removal - real saggy breasts, possible physiological distress at my age. (I could change my mind and have to spend all that money again.)
I know its up to me, but I'm so upset about this. I was feeling more sure before. Now...

Removal and lift! (not listed above). I was apprehensive of a lift because of the scars. At 4 months after surgery I have only two inch pink lines straight down from my nipples. In a year they'll be silver lines. No more surgeries every 7-10 years. I'm done and loving it.

Your implants aren't very big so you may be surprised how well you bounce back. Find a supportive surgeon, I think you will look great post-explant!
Thank you so much gliese. I am a bit down right now, but I've seen it here before, so I guess its normal, I'll snap out of it soon hopefully. I was thinking about how its not about how good the doctor is, its how good he is at understanding you and your needs. It took me almost 3 weeks to be able to see this doctor, now I'll have to look for a new one. Bummer.
Waiting to see another doctor is a let down. I had one consultation that caused me to go home, straight into my bed, and just cry. So yes, it's very normal to feel defeated after a bad consultation. I had my ups and downs as my explant date grew closer. But once it was over, I felt such a huge relief! And seriously, losing implants instantly makes you look longer and leaner so it's been a great confidence booster! I really think you will feel so relieved and good once they're out, I have been so surprised by how liberating this experience has been. Good luck (((hugs)))
I know! After my disappointing consult I wanted to lay in bed and cry too, but I had a sort of business lunch meeting, and oh! That was tough!
Thank you so much for the support (and the hug) it really means so much! I am feeling much better just by talking to you and to NervousGirlie. I'm ready to look for a new doctor. Will keep updates. Thanks again.
I had two consultations just like that. All doom and gloom. But I went to see the third and he was so good. I think his back ground in dealing with breast reconstruction after breast cancer mastectomy he had a greater understanding of women and their breasts. He wasn't coming from the plastic surgery type point of view he was looking at the whole women and wanted meet my wishes and not his own agenda. I guess for every women that has an explant the plastic surgeons are losing potential income for the future when implants need replacing every so many years. So for them they want women to keep having them. It's now four weeks since I had my explant and I feel so great to finally be rid of them. My breasts haven't sagged. Yes they are flatter but each time I look in the mirror I see the real me. I look younger and fitter and not so frumpy. Yes my breast will probably sag over the years as I get older but so what that's natural. I don't want to be eighty years old with the breasts of a twenty year old. I love my body warts and all and I am so happy I went ahead with the explant. May be you should see out a surgeon that is not just a plastic surgeon but that is a breast surgeon at a major hospital. Good luck and I hope you find a surgeon that will support your wishes and not follow his own agenda.
Olha, parece ser regra ir em um cirurgião e assim que você fala que quer remover e ficar sem eles já fazem cara feia e começam a dar a lista do por que você não deve fazer isso. De todos os médicos que fui para pedir opiniões sobre a cirurgia, a maioria sequer fazia a remoção sem substituição de prótese, e o que fazia queria cobrar quase 30 mil, com desconto (¬_¬'), porque disse que se não fizesse mamoplastia, lifting e mil coisas, não pareceriam normais, então até agora eu estava adiando a cirurgia porque simplesmente não tenho esse $. Mas vendo reviews online de diversos fóruns e países, o consenso parece ser que se você só fizer a remoção, seus seios no começo vão ficar meio caídos e moles, mas em questão de semanas começam a normalizar e ficam do tamanho que eram antes do implante ou um pouco menores mas nada que não dê pra conviver (de acordo com reviews, eu ainda não fiz minha cirurgia). Seu último update foi em abril do ano passado então não sei o que você decidiu, mas se aprendi alguma coisa com relatos de outras pessoas foi para tomar sua decisão fora do consultório. Vá pelos relatos de outras mulheres com o mesmo problema e simplesmente chegue no consultório e fale o que você quer. É isso que planejo fazer pelo menos. Te desejo boa sorte na sua jornada, e espero que seja feliz, qualquer sua decisão!! =*
