“Qualified, Inexpensive, Doctor for Implant Removal - Las Vegas, NV”

So glad you're able to be natural again! I hope you regain your good health soonest.

I want to remove my implants. Everyone says I wont be happy with no boobs. I just want it out and not sure if I should replace to smaller or just remove. Can you advise me how you felt? I just dont want to make a mistake. I am making a appt with a doc this week. Thanks

Do you feel better? I am scheduled for an explant after extensive test they say nothing is wrong with me.

Yes I feel much better, but I think it's going to take time to feel completely healthy again. I had the implants for 12 years, and had 8 surgeries to fix problems I was having from Capsule Contracture, and ripples. If you have any other questions feel free to ask... God Bless

Hair loss
Blurred vision
Dizzy
Extremely confused
Nausea, vomiting, etc
Numb face and much more.
I have had mri, cat scan, extensive bloodwork, I have seen a neurologist. Everything comes back good. I stopped drinking my well water (which I have a reverse osmosis system)and eating gluten but nothing helps. Last year I had 2 Liters of fluid removed off of my left breast and 1/2 liter off of my right. In october I found a huge lump in my right breast. After doing some research the fda posted a warning about alcl large cell lymphoma which would explain my fluid. The doc who removed said he had never seen anything like it. I have my explant Monday and am very scared. It was a very hard decision for me to make. I can no longer live my life in a state of constant confusion. I hope there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

I go Thursday to see a doc about the removal. I have had np. Just that I dont like feeling of what if? So I dont think I want new ones in. They told me that you do have to replace after so many years. I just want to be done with it and enjoy life as is. : )))
Trying to do it right, that is why I am on chat. Ellen

Hu Susan, Thanks for your story and photos - that really encourages me. I have had 525cc x 2 silicon implants for 20 years - went from an A to an F cup.

I absolutely love their appearance and have enjoyed them for all of this time. However, hav suffered all of your complaints, lots of autoimmune conditions, chronic fatigue and all tests come back normal. I have had 1 rupture and 1 encapsulation (like a solid rock for the last 2 years). People are very taken aback when they hug me and get prodded by my encapsulated breast.

Enough is enough. They have to go. Never to be replaced. I will be devasted when they are explanted next week(on NHS in UK) and am petrified that I will be lopsided, deformed and completely depressed.

But I need my health back. My surgeon says I should have them removed, then wait 3-6 months to see how thye "fluff up" and only after that time consider a mastoplexy (uplift). He also mentioned stem-cell transfer (fat) from by butt to my breasts to raise to a B cup.

I cant wait to get it over with - have bought masectomy bras and prosthesis to wear, so that no-one notices immediately, then can reduce prosthesis size over months as I lose weight. That way people will think my breasts are smaller due to weight loss (am currently 140lbs - correct weight for height) - but will have to go smaller to be convincing. So not only have to get used to the loss of my babies, but then have to drastically lose weight, wear prosthesis and lie to people!!!

Why do we do these things to ourselves?

I will post before and after photos when done.

Good luck out there to everyone thinking of explanting. Thanks again Susan for the encuraging photo.

every thing you just wrote is what I feel. I also went from a cup to a C. I found the docter to get these out. I have to get blood test and a all clear from a docter. Then on the 7th of Feb I get to remove these. Good luck to you. Your lucky to get them out before me. I have not told anyone of my friends or family about this. I will also get a bra to cover up what I have changed. Thanks for your comment. Makes me feel normal for what I feel. Thanks
