Saline Implant Removal - Dallas, TX

WORTH IT$4,200

I have had my saline implants for a little over 10 years. Five year into I developed lupus and it attacked my lungs. I believe implants caused my auto immune attacks. Fast forward 5 years I am now ready to remove them. I have consulted 5 ps and opinions are different. I am scared to go under general anesthesia since I already have a lung desease. Number 2 , there are different opinions on whether I shouldvremove the capsules or not. I have contracture. Very soft. I found one physician who does ivy sedation for removal and capuslectomy. I have been warned that are serious risks of bleeing with total capuslectomy. One ps tried to talk me out of it... Help! I am scared and confused but I am ready to be implant free

I'm so sorry you've developed lupus and can totally understand why you want to be implant free! I don't know about the risks from a capsulectomy. You might want to post a question to doctors here to help you sort that out.

Please keep us posted!
