I have had issues with my left breast since 2 weeks after getting them. I had follow up appointments for discomfort in left breast, felt like implant was flopping when I bent over. I've had mastitis in the left breast. My health has gone down hill since having surgery. Severe fatigue, depression, coughing, feelings of chest pain & burning sensation. Trouble with inflammation systematically. Am I crazy? Can these implants cause these symptoms?
Answer: Explant and simultaneous lift using The Bellesoma Method Your breasts are too low on the chest wall. After removing the implants, you will have excess hanging skin, empty appearance and you will need a lift. The technique I recommend is explantation and lift using The Bellesoma Method. The implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained, if not injured during your previous surgery. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired. Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Implants 2.5 years ago. Would like them removed. Would I need a lift? There are many factors that go into determining how your breasts will appear after implant removal. Some are the size of the implant, the length of time they've been in place, and elasticity of the skin. I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation. After an examination and discussion your surgeon will better be able to give an opinion on what you might expect in terms of results after explant.

Answer: Mastitis If you have had mastitis in your left breast, you may still have some low grade residual infection, and your implant might need to be removed and later replaced. Your surgeon can discuss this with you.

Answer: Implants 2.5 years ago. Would like them removed. Would I need a lift? It is impossible to predict the overall look of breasts following explant surgery. Make sure that you discuss your concerns with your surgeon before making a decision. You may decide to move forward with the explant then see how you feel about the look of your breasts after the healing has finished and then decide to do a lift at that time.

Answer: Explant predictions It is difficult to make 100% accurate predictions following explant. There are a number of factors to consider including age (the breast changes over time irregardless of augmentation), weight change, skin stretch and residual elasticity.
