Ive had my implant over the muscle for about 10 months and am planning to remove asthey feel really heavy for me and I dislike the sudden sensations that I get in my ribs and breasts. Also I do not want to put myself at risk of any breast implant related illnesses or cancer. I requested my doctor to remove all the capsule but he insisted the capsules for motiva are very thin and will reabsorb which contradicts what Ive read on future complications. I feel lost. I just want to do the rightthing
I had 410cc textured cohesive silicone gel implants placed above the muscle 5 years ago. I had grade 1 ptosis and was a 34c pre op. My surgeon said I had enough breast tissue to go over the muscle and correct the slight sagging to avoid a lift.I am now looking to explant and remove the capsule. - Am I likely to need a breast lift after? If so, what type of lift would be best for my breast? - Is it safe to remove the implant and do a lift in the one surgery? Many Thanks for any feedback.
I have elected to have my implants removed. This will be my third surgery and last one. I have had two right side capsular contractures in the past. The implant is over the muscle, mentor saline, 250cc. One doc said to remove the entire capsule b/c it does not re-absorb. The other doc said he can do it under local anesthesia in the office and he would not remove the capsule b/c it will reabsorb. Who is right?
Hello! After 11 years of having breast implants (at age 23) I need them removed due to capsular contracture. NHS will remove them for me as I wouldnt be able to afford to go private anymore, but they remove not replace, Im ok with this. As NHS surgeons are not usually experienced in plastic surgery, please can anyone give me an idea of what Ill be left with? Size before 30AA cone shaped with no lower pole fullness/crease. Implants 450cc low profile silicone over muscle - size 32E
I removed my 25 year old silicon implants and capsulectomy. They were over the muscle and at the time of explantation they were in tact. Left side had CC grade II-III. Over the past few months I have noticed small changes, but for the most part I think this is what I will be left with. It seems that my inframammary fold is lower and causing a dent in my lower breast. Thank you for your time.
Ive had huge struggles with breastfeeding my first baby and could only manage to produce 2-3oz a day even using medications to lactate. I have tuberous breasts but am wondering if you would also diagnose me with IGT? I have 285cc Natrelle implants placed over the muscle. Would an explant possibly help with milk production in future due to the placement of the implants? Would I be left with lots of droopy skin as I wouldnt want a lift for future breastfeeding? Thanks in advance
I had small implants put in 11 years ago (over the muscle/silicone gel) after having kids and breastfeeding to add some volume to my already small breasts. Have had some issues on right breast - a bit of CC/pain and CT scan shows that it has ruptured. I would like a lift at time of explant as I am no longer interested in implants. Does it look like I have enough breast tissue to have a good outcome with lift? I have pics attached.
I am 27 weeks pregnant, and my left breast implant (saline over the muscle) has deflated. My right implant has a CC and its very uncomfortable. I want them removed now so I have time to heal and will be more comfortable trying to breast feed. My OB and my plastic surgeon have cleared for me to have Local only at the hospital (1% lido to numb incision site.Will place drain tubes for a few days also. The risk of anything happening to baby seem very minimal from what all weve discussed. Safe?
I recently met with my PS who recommended revision to correct lateral displacement and muscle animation. He suggested another lift and moving the implants over the muscle. I currently have 195cc and 210 cc moderate profile for 1.5 years. Im worried about more rippling over the muscle and I would prefer to have them removed. Will I still have muscle deformity after explanation? Should the capsule be removed? Can my areolas be reduced? Id prefer to do this under local.
