I suffered from silicone poisoning after getting silicone implants. My Dr left the capsules in after taking out the implants. I'm wondering if I have to worry about left over silicone or if it was all removed. My Physician was awesome and performed the whole thing under local anesthesia with no IV sedation.
Hello, my implants are saline and are 23 years old. (I am 56). I weighed 118 lbs when I had them done. Maintained weight for many years until menopause. (Then gained 80 lbs). Ive currently lost 60 (20 over the course of a year or so and 40 recently within six months). I feel my natural breasts are literally hanging off my implants they have weird looking humps and slopes in certain angles. Im not sure if they need to be REMOVED followed by a lift - OR just lifted and keeping the implants if its deemed they are salvageable (I sort of wouldnt mind going back to a smaller breasted woman for the back nine of life - or so I think ). I sometimes feel the 100,000 bumper to bumper warranty is well beyond its lifespan . Also had tummy tuck at same time 23 years ago and due to the weight loss I have lose skin (I made another post regarding this) I feel the skin is very loose again but could be pulled up if I had removal / lift / reverse tummy tuck. Pictures showing everything and even pulling skin upwards and showing the amount of skin Im talking about. Thank you!
For subfascial implant removal do the capsules need to be removed as well or can they be left in long term? Will the fascia readhere to the muscle if the capsules are left in? Will there be discomfort if left in? Thank you in advance!
Hi, Im 26 years old - no children. Ive had 325cc high profile textured implants under muscle placed 4 years ago, I feel like they dont suit my frame and feel a little too big for me. For past 2 years I feel i my posture has been so bad because they feel uncomfortable sleeping or when exercising. Some surgeons advise leaving capsule in, others say I might need muscle repair. How will my breast look after? Im terrified
I have had saline implants for 24 yrs (and silicone for 18 yrs before that. I want to either get much smaller implants with a lift, or possibly just a lift with no implants. I feel like Im going to need to see what my breasts look like without implants before deciding but dont really want 2 surgeries. Is it possible to just deflate them, let things settle and then decide? I will need a lift either way. Thank you
Ive got my breast implant removal book in a few weeks. Ive got a dental abscess and currently on antibiotics for it. My dentist is wanting to wait a while before doing the root canal so it wont be done before my surgery. Should my surgery be postponed or would this not affect it.
6 months ago I had 20-yr old large implants removed and a lift. I noticed my skin stretching slightly off of my sternum after getting the original implants but since they have been removed, its obviously much. I am a bit surprised that my surgeon didnt address this recently during the X plant and lift. She did mention things like dermal matrixes, or the only way to fix it would be new implants, but seems reluctant to address it. I need a second opinion but not sure where to start.
