I had my implants removed after 5 weeks. They were 286cc. I was a tight small a cup before augmentation. Although my breasts look good when I am standing, they fall over into a puddle of loose skin when I lie on my side. I am 6 weeks post op. I am 47 years old. How much skin retraction can I expect? Do I have any hope?
Breast implant removal for $1000 or less using local anesthesia? I have saline implants done under the muscle, put in through the armpit. Have had them in approximately 14 years. I want removal and no replacement. Thanks for any advice.
I am 48 hours post-op. Breast are itchy and wrapped in tensor. I would like to put frozen peas on as my body feels like that would help. Nurse said that I shouldn't because people fall asleep with them on - I won't do that. Also will the skin maybe improve? and the nipples be more normal later?
Hello, I have silicone implants. However, they are uncomfortable and give me constant aches. For that reason, I am considering to remove them, while at the same time, have an areola reduction. If that was the case (doing this two procedures at once), I would like to know if I would still need a breast lift. In addition, I would like to know how much would that approximately cost? (I live in LA). Thank you!
Once implants have been removed, what happens to the pocket? Does it fill back in? Also, how much of your regular breast tissue is sacrificed with the explant surgery? I've had Cohesive Silicone Gel implants for 5 years 350 CC, sub-muscular. I'm 50 years old. What are the chances I'll go back to pre-BA size?
I had breast implant removal and lift two weeks ago. On my right side I believe I have nerve damage. I have severe burning, pain and sensitivity in my right armpit and down the back of my right arm all the way to the elbow. My range of motion on that side is also not great. Left side feels perfectly normal. Is this likely to go away?
One doctor mentioned only using the previous scar to take my sub muscular implants out while another told me my areola won't shrink back and wants to have an incision all around the areola to make my areola smaller. I really don't want any more scars and really don't want to ruin any nerves or memory glands in the process. Is it true the areola won't shrink? I went from an A to a D so my areola did get bigger.
Hi, Ive had 400 CC under the muscle, silicone breast implants for the past 5 years. I got them when I was 19 and went from an A/B to a D cup. I am debating explanting or going down to a 200 CC/250 CC size. I have had no bad experiences with my implants and just prefer a smaller look as I have a smaller frame (53, 115 lbs). What I am worried about is how my breasts will look after the surgery. Pre-implants, the shape of my breasts were nice and I just wanted more volume. Im scared that my breasts will sag from years of having 400 CC implants. I would love some input/advice as to what they may look like if I explanted, thanks!!
