Implant Removal ..Nipple Coloration Please Help! - Brevard, NC

Yes no fever witch is a good thing! I do have some fluid building up in my left breast my doctor said that this is normal due to me having 600cc implants. It isn't very comfortable and tender but then again non of this is. I will be putting up some more photos to help others out there to understand that they are not alone. My breast look absolutely horrible! I still have a ways to go on my healing process. I can not wait for this to be over with. I still have scar tissue that my doctor did not remove in my right breast. Please those of you reading this DO NOT EVER ALLOW a surgeon perform a closed capsulotomy on you!!!!! I had no idea what my doctor was doing when he just said he wanted to squeeze my breast a little being that I had a Level IV Capsule Contraction. Well you see were this as ended up for me. I am praying that I will heal nicely from having the implants removed. I did have some skin that began to erode from the closed capsulotomy, although we caught it in time and I had a paste applied to help with the blood flow prior to draining the implant. I really wanted to have the scar tissue removed , however my doctor said that we couldn't remove it because I have dead breast tissue now and the scar tissue will help. So one day at a time. The good news is that I am no longer depressed well at least for the moment. I am just praying for a positive recovery so I may return back to work. Gotta make that money for my reconstructive surgery in 6months! I will be posting some more pictures to help any others who ever have a similar experience. I am so thankful for the reviews and the support just hearing a lil reassurance goes a long way! Thanking you! Natalie

That is good to hear. Yea still tender I wish I could heal quicker so I can get back to work. My doctor said I could try but I can't even open and shut my windows . I would prob cause some damage if I went to work. I wish I had a drain in on my left on. The fluid that is building up is uncomfortable and I can feel some pressure. I go back next week. Thanks for the (((hugs))) right back at cha!

You are correct it isn't performed! My doctor did not tell me what he was doing to me :-(. I had to find out by research on the Internet and other PS on what it was that he did to me. The sad thing is I saw a doctor the day before he performed the closed capsulotomy just for a quote and a different plan. If I would have only knew girl I would have said NO!!!! I did not sign a consent for it or nothing. I just thought he was feeling my firmness. The sad thing is that it isn't performed anymore. Most don't do it however, it isn't illegal. Sorry this should be totally illegal to do. No attorneys will help you because it's not illegal but look what your left with. I also had to open caps prior to this. I just would have had another open cap done. Ridiculous ..! I'm really upset by all of this and there is not telling what is going to happen to me. I've uploaded 2new pics you can see how I look now. :-(. Sucks

I got a second opinion prior to my removal. I couldn't afford him and my doctor actually did it for free being that he did mess me up! I thought I would let him make things right. I'm just praying that things might be able to be right again for me. I don't know. The doctor I saw wont be able to see me for 5months from now. So lots of prayers! I want nothing more than to have this doctor to work on me. Hope something can be done

It's good to know you have a competent PS who will take care of you. You might consider reporting the other one to the AMA and Board of Plastic Surgeons.

Well my 2nd opinion came prior to the removal and the doctor who saw me was going to remove the scar tissue. My doctor refused to and I needed to get them out! So the pic you see with my right breast all jacked up with the dark line is my breast with all the scar tissue in it. Freakin nightmare. I don't and won't know anything for 5months. No telling if he will be able to do anything for me and now with that scar tissue being left in me no telling if anybody will do anything for me. I'm scared. Nobody will touch me or see me for five months. Shoot I was lucky that the surgeon that did give me the second opinion saw me. Nobody would see me. I was turned down by 7surgeons. That's back after the closed capsultomy. So no telling what I have to face next

Other than looking like a monster. No

I'm trying..thank you dear. It's more mental than anything. Depression has got me. This hasn't been easy on me at all. Lots of procedures..pain n all. Time lost out of work. Nightmare

No I haven't checked with any of the doctors here on this site. I already received devastating news from my own doctor. Although he isn't one to trust! I was in tears in Fri and literally did not leave the house all weekend. I am actually getting out today and went walking yesterday and did a small work out. So I really couldn't bare any negativity. Right now I have hope and honestly I am scared of losing that.

I sure hope so I really do. I'm telling myself to have hope and prayer . I do have fear though. This honestly can't be it right. Didn't help that I lost circulation in my right breast thanks to the closed capsulotomy and the scar tissue that he did not remove. I just don't know girl :-(. I'm hanging on..barely. Summer is going to suck! Happy to be alive I will say that. Not happy about what I have going on at all!

Just remember that you are SO much more than your breast! To help the time pass by try focusing on things you enjoy or pick up a new hobby. Exercise, dance, getting out is great! Enjoy your body and who you are in spite of this! I'm sure there is a skilled surgeon who can help you out

Please take care and keep us posted
