Feeling and sleeping great again !!! Thanks God, Family and all you lovely ladies !!!

Dear Mozza, I went for my consult in san luis obispo with Wally Hosn, MD, PS and he is pretty booked up but his office is very helpful. His number is 805 541-0330. I got on the cancelation wait list and went from August to yesterday as I just kept calling. You may want to get an MRI done because if you tell a doctor you're in pain they will probably order one cause mammograms don't show ruptures or leakage. Well good luck I'm sure there has got to be LA PS who do complete capsulectomies (en bloc) as you want to get the entire capsule out also....but Hosn's office may have a suggestion. Blessings Deborah

Hey Mozza gald to see you've written your review!!! Check your messages on FB

Hi devorahvs!! I am getting confused, what exactly is the en bloc purpose? because I am just 8 weeks post BA, you might think I am crazy, but I ´ve been realizing the big mistake I did, so I don´t want to be expecting I will change my mind, and have to regret even more if I let years go by. At my two post BA months, I hadn,t sleep well, which is driving me crazy, it is so uncomfortable :/. I think I just need an explant, but I just want the right doctor, it may be not easy to find it. In the other hand, these UCLA doctors charge less then others? I really appreciate your given time to me. blessings.

Mozza you will not need en bloc. Your implants are too new. Had they been in there for years then it would be different because they would have had time to stick to your own tissue. I had mine out en bloc..(it's a term used when the doctor removes not only the implant but also the surrounding tissue that has adhered to the implant..which is why it is important the doctor knows which kind you have and HOW LONG they have been in your body.. I HAD to have mine removed this way. My doctor refused to take them out any other way..in fact he told me he couldn't take them out any other way!! Hope that answers your question.. You can see the photo on my review of the implants.... xx

Hello, Please make sure that you are giving a lot of thought to your decision-making process; given that you are only 8 weeks out of surgery, it is some what early to be considering removal of the breast implants. For some patients, it may take several months to physically and psychologically “adjust” to the presence of the breast implants and the new body image. If you do decide to proceed with removal of the breast implants, I think you will find that the procedure is associated with a minimal recovery/downtime and that your breasts should “bounce back” nicely. You may find this link helpful to you as you learn more. Best wishes. http://www.poustiplasticsurgery.com/Procedures/breast-implant-removal.htm

Andrew Smith is a GREAT surgeon... He did my BA, though he might be a little expensive for a simple removal. Dr. Ali did my removal and he is a GREAT surgeon too, he is amazing!

Mozzaa, I understand completely how you feel. I have the same regrets and sadness every day. What's working for me is to feel those feelings, and also move forward on the plan to get my body back. I explanted 7 days ago, and I am so happy to be free and be myself, whatever that looks like at the moment. One step at a time. Regrets are part of the process of acceptance. Next step for me is healing, physically and emotionally and being at peace with and loving my body naturally. Isn't that what we all want? I'm not thinking about how I can look better all the time, just how I can be more in love with the real me. I'm not saying I may not choose to have a lift in a year, but right now the loving thing for my body feels like no more surgery. Hugs to you my friend! We are here for you.

I know that feeling , when I first got my BA done for about 2 months I had nightmares waking up crying for help talking in my sleep it was all because silicone I feared in my body I just keep thinking they were leaking . I eventually had enough and took me a Xanax to sleep one night after that the dreams stopped and I didn't take no more. My right hurt me as well but now there gone I can feel that it was irritated by how it was sitting in there that spot is tender now there gone. My implants looked brand new after they were removed this was a relief. But the pressure they put on my breast has caused cyst I think . I watched a video on u tube on how hard a silicone implant could be squeezed and it helped ease my mind because I was scared to death they were going to bust when my ps pulls them out under my arms those things can take a tuggin . I wish you the best and hope you get some rest X. Ohh and my ps wasn't very helpful he said if you want them removed ok , never explained nothing I guess he felt like he knows what he's doing and didnt have too. All the doctors I seen couldn't believe I had no brushing or much swelling and dropped within 2 weeks so I knew he was good so I had to step out in faith and use him and he aced my removal very talented man that don't like to explain much . I guess he thinks the proof is in the puddin.

Many of us have felt what you are going through Mozzaa. You are taking steps to feel better by going to consultations. You will be on the other side soon. Accept that you've made a mistake and bravely move onto your journey of explantation. I felt like you did in December after revisions that didn't hold. I went to a consultation, picked a date and then accepted that I made a mistake, but that I would make the best and learn from it. Don't be so hard on yourself! Be there and present for your kids, concentrate on them, and soon your time will be here! Hang in there hon!

I agree with latte23. Don't over think it, what's done is done and now work on moving towards a solution. You should also be proud of yourself for realizing the mistake like many of us did...instead of living your life being misarable inside, prettending everything is fine just for the sake of appearances or what others may think is good looking or atractive. You have learned a lot from this and that says a lot of good things about your character :).

Hey, I just popped over and read your review. I remember feeling all what you are going through as many others have too. We're all here to support you :o) (hugs) Try not to be too hard on yourself. You've been very brave to realise as soon as you have and you're taking steps towards explant already. Its all normal to be very emotional, anxious, angry at yourself for doing it and wishing you could turn back the clock. As much as its been an awful 6 years living with mine, I try not to regret, rather see it as my journey to where I am and who I am today. Deep down, I think it was something I had to do unfortunately. At the mo you may feel like you're in a whirlpool of emotions, but once you've seen a consultant and set a date, you'll feel much better. Let me know how you get on next week. Very best of luck x
