Hello, I had a TUBA done 12 years ago and I am wanting the implants removed. I have saline implants above the muscle. I am African American and I am at risk for keloids. Is it possible to do a TUBA explant procedure or will it have to be done under the armpit? Thank you!
I have read questions regarding breast augmentation and if you are unhappy with the results, you can always take them out. Of course, doctors warn the more your skin stretched the less you'll look like your original self, but that they CAN return to normal. I however am wondering, if you get implants under the muscle and somehow or someday decided to remove them without replacement, what happens to the muscle that was cut to fit the implant underneath? Can that be fixed, or does it heal itself? Does the muscle disintegrate?
I got my breast implants removed 1 year ago (they were Allergan Inspira implants placed above the muscle). Ever since I got these I had pectoral muscle and chest pain. Really hoped these would disappear after getting them out but it still hurts a lot. It's muscle related pain (tissues are ok), my whole chest is on fire. Whenever my breasts move it hurts like hell. So basically everytime I walk, let alone running or doing any exercise..It's excruciating. What could be the problem? Please help. :(
I had 400cc Silicone implants placed above the muscle in 2015. In 2016, I had a mastopexy. I am now wanting my implants removed but unsure if I will need another lift! I had size D breasts before initial implants (I was told that would help the ptosis and why I initially got implants instead of just the lift.) I know this is my personal choice, but torn on the decision.
Dear Community, I would like to know before having my breast augmentation procedure, just in case I would be among those people who develops BII and needs to remove the implants with a Total capsulectomy, this would be more damaging (like removing more breast tissue, or damaging more the breast tissue) if I have the implants placed above the muscle or below the muscle? I am thinking of placing the implants above the muscle to avoid cutting the muscle. Thank you!
I wanted to get them removed but I found out I am 6 weeks pregnant. My boobs are in evan more pain that they already were its almost unbearable I cry and they sweat in pain before I new i was pregnant I was taking Tylenol. Can they be removed while pregnant. I am so scared to keep them in and having to deal with this pain more or if the pain gets worse I also think I have implant illness. They are under the muscle. Thank you
I am interested in having my silicone implants out. They are 500cc above the muscle. Im having trouble producing enough breast milk and I think it is due to the size of the implant. Can this be done in the office with local anesthetic or do I have to go under general to have them removed?
I am considering having my textured, saline, above the muscle implants that I received in 1992 removed. The right implant developed capsular contracture last year - 2018. Will the surgeon need to cut the implant away from my breast tissue or will the implant - for lack of a better word - pop out? Is the capsular contracture stuck to or part of my breast tissue?
I had breast implants placed above the muscle with a purse string lift in 2012. No issues until 2017 I had bra area liposuction and I developed a bilateral rash over both areolas. I had MRI, CT, Mamm, ultrasound, breast biopsy, labs all come back normal. Removed implants two months ago and they did find staph coag neg. I took clindamycin a third time. Im concerned that the Ethibond 2.0 suture that could be carrying staph. Rash still present and the symptoms have not improved.
Planning on a explant ASAP. Nerve pain, uncomfortable and unhappy with them. No plans to exchange. I was 19 when I first had a boob job. AAA to a B. Second round to a C. Two pregnancies and one breastfed till 8 month old. Now 52 years old. Lots of indentations on underside. Shape is off. Wonder if I have a leak. Silicone 450 cc above muscle for 29 years!!!! Ready to be free.
