I had an explant & lift done by Dr. Feng just over 20 years ago, and I am thrilled to report that my breasts look the exact same now as they did after the surgery. Every time I get an annual breast exam, the doctor always comments about how well-done my scars are. They are hardly noticeable, despite me being worried about getting a lollipop scar at a young age. I am so glad I traveled to...
I had Dr Feng remove my implants 5 years ago after being bed ridden with Lyme. Once my implants were removed I was left with one breast much smaller than the other. From breast feeding one implant rubbed the fat causing the breast to be much smaller. I am feeling better every day, HBOT is really helping but the recovery is slow and painful. Bruising is minimal there is not much trauma but...
Dr. Feng saved my life. She is absolutely the best explant surgeon. She is an angel and is so intelligent. Taking the time to explain everything in great detail. If I could give her 10 starts I would. The moment you walk into the clinic it feels like a red carpet has been rolled out for you. The clinic itself is beautiful, very tranquil setting that puts your pre-op nerves at ease. Everything...
I had silicone breast implant under the muscle since 2006. For the past 5 years i felt tired, weak, no energy to exercise, joint pain and memory loss. After my third child was born and I was done with breastfeeding I decided to take my implants out. After reading many reviews I decided to go with Dr. Feng and I'm so happy I did It. She was honest and told me I have enough breast tissue so no...
This review has been a long time in coming however I wanted to write this long-overdue review and provide photographs showing the long term results of my breast implant removal surgery with capsulectomy and a lollipop mastopexy that was performed by Dr. Lu-Jean Feng in the year 2000. When I arrived at The Feng Clinic 20 years ago I was a very ill 33-year-old woman. I began having health...
A: You are still healing three weeks after Asian blepharoplasty. There will be swelling above and below the new crease at 3 weeks after surgery. It takes 4-6 months before the final result. At this point, it is hard to judge the final result. I am sure your result will be more natural with time. Please be patient and let the natural healing process take place.
A: The capsule does not get absorbed by the body. In fact, Nancy Hardt's research in Plastic and Reconstructive actually disproves this theory.
The capsule (scar tissue) is your body's response to your implants and begins to develop very early on after augmentation. The capsule may contain silicone gel, silicone shell fragments, bacteria, calcification, and inflammatory cells which have been mobilized by your immune system to react to different components of the implant.
In addition, if you have pain around the implants, it is usually due to the pulling effect of the scar tissue on surrounding muscle and tissue. If you have health problems that could be from the presence of the implants, removal of the capsule is critical in improving your health. I hope this helps.

A: I do not think it is a good idea to overfill overfilled implants. You will weaken the implants faster and stretch out and thin your breast tissue more over time.
A: As part of our standard protocol we must send anything that is removed from the body, including implants, capsules, any suspicious cysts or tumors found in the breast tissue or any cells which appear to be pre-cancerous to pathology to be evaluated. To not do so would be negligence on our part and certainly not looking out in the best interest of the patient. We need to know whether there is any strange bacteria or fungus that the patient should be treated for, or if there is cancer present.
Once this material is thoroughly checked, then the patient may have the implants/tissue released. Please remember that once the implants are removed from the body, they are classified as hazardous material and special precautions must be made. Unrequested specimens are disposed of after a period of time by our pathology lab, according to federal and state standards. Unless there is a specific request from the patient, we do not request specimens back to be returned to implant manufacturers. I hope this helps.
