I've been experiencing ongoing health issues ever since my secondary surgery. The first was a breast augmentation (periareola incision/saline implants/420 & 390 CCs) and the other was an implant exchange (Mentor Siltex/Anchor Lift/350 CCs). I had read a lot about many women similar to me who have struggled with unexplained symptoms which has led me to believe that I may have breast implant illness. I am looking to have my implants removed and a lift to tighten up the remaining breast tissue I have. Is there anything else I would need to address during this last & final surgery? What would be the most important questions to ask the Surgeon who will remove my current set of implants and complete another Anchor lift for the remaining breast tissue I have left over? Thank you!

Answer: The most importan question to ask when considering and Breast implant removal? Hello @Nikki R, thank you for your question. I advise you to thoroughly prepare for your consultation. Inquire about the surgeon's credentials and experience, as well as the techniques they use. Understand what you can expect from the procedure in the short and long term. It's crucial to discuss the importance of a total capsulectomy in your procedure to prevent future inflammatory processes. Ask where the surgery will be conducted, how the procedure will be performed, and what preoperative tests will be necessary. Good preparation will help you make an informed decision and have a better understanding of your upcoming procedure. Best wishes!! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: Breasts Ask about the risks and healing time. Do remember that not all these women have been helped with removing their implants and capsules. Most of my patients who have chosen to remove implants for a variety of unexplained symptoms were not relieved of their symptoms once removed. Mentally, many were relieved. In the US, we are exposed to a great deal of toxins in our foods, water, cosmetics, and cleaning products, especially hair dyes, and tattoos daily. However, once removed, you do not have to deal with implants again.
