I finally decided to move on and called PS #1 office to get a second consultation. I needed to confirm what this surgeon told me on the first consultation and I still have some more questions to ask. I also have scheduled a date for deflation on November 12th. Removal will be proccessed on the following week (November 19th) unless I decide to skip the deflation step and go for a straight removal on the 12th. I bought this bra at Walmart, for after expant.... now that the date is booked, it is starting to become more real....

Consultation with PS#2 today :( - Corrected
bryanna71September 5, 2015
I had my consultation with PS#2 today and I am a bit disappointed. As soon as I said the word "explant" he started to try to convince me to get smaller implants(150cc) instead. He told me that with explant only, I would not be happy and if I get the smaller implants and I don't like them he would to take them out for free...?? He also said that I would have a bunch of loose skin at the bottom of my breast and if I explant, I would have to go back a few months later to take off that loose skin...?? His opinion was so different from PS#1 that I am very mixed up now, and not sure what to do anymore. He offered to deflate them on the surgery day so I could see what it looks like with the loss of volume and make my decision....I would prefer to have them deflated at least a week before surgery, so I could see what they look like in clothes and I could see some improvements...I was so sad when I got out of his office that I cried all the way home. Then I decided to take a second appointment with PS#1, to discuss more about deflate and explant. I will see him again on September 15th, I hope he can reassure me and I can book a date for my explant surgery with him...I am so scared now that I won't be able to live with the outcome... PS#2 scared me a lot today...

Ps #2 was brutal but at least he was honest with u and didn't tell u any fairly tails. If u want deflation u should do that at least a month prior to surgery, then u might see something. A week isn't much or enough.
Ps#1 was more considerate to ease your soul about your feelings. But U're the only one who knows if can live with sagging or not. After explant that's unavoidable and if u don't like it then lift with scars is the usually way to go without implants. Or fat transfer! Some women choose this and some that... What others think about this (your situation) is utterly irrelevant!!! Nobody knows the answers but u! Of course u must do some serious soul searching before u decide anything ! So pls don't hurry on that coz regret is the worst.
Ps.: there's a way to increase up to 80% the transplanted tissue's survival rate if u interested just ask... (Pm me if I don't notice ur comment here) that's the only natural way to have it all!

I had implant for 8 years with slight symmastia. I saved a lot of money and got a revision two months ago. Recently I've been feeling so toxic and having weird symptoms like panic attack, isomnia, brain, fatigue etc and after going online and research... its the silicon implant that my body is rejecting. I am planing to have it removed soon and I learned that my health is more important then beauty. Be confident that you will look great being natural..100% you. WHat is important is your health and don't let plastic surgeon talk to you in getting implant.

Dada u mean that u found real medical evidence based on scientific research and long term studies or that others think the same on various forums mostly based on speculation? Your symptoms seems more psychological rather then physiological as u prescribed it... Plus two months after surgery it's completely normal and part of the standard healing process...
But if u could send me the link to the medical research done by real doctors I would really appreciate that. Thx

And pls forgive my skepticism but over the last two years through my issues with my breasts I really couldn't do anything else but sit with my laptop about 14 hours everyday and read everything on breast implants and related surgeries from 1963-2015. I read 100s of 1000 pages of studies, medical journals, researches, history and even went through chemical production process of silicone and silicates from medical grade till the once used in space (it was interesting;o) but I never heard about silicon implant rejection. Because med.grade 6 is a non reactive matter and by trusted manufacturers on that's used. Toxic shock syndrome and Co on the other hand is a different story...

Hi! You made me think of something else that happened yesterday in PS#2 s office. I always had saline implants because I've always been scared of silicone, but PS handled me some silicone implants yesterday, even if I had already told him I don't want silicone and I don't want new implants at all, he wanded me to touch them to see how smooth they are.... But, by mistake he gave me an implant he has cut to show the cohesive gel inside and it was like glue! I had that glue stucked to my hand and I said " disgusting!!!" . No wonder why women end up with tissues glued together after a ruptured implant... It really feels like glue! I hope your explant surgery goes well and you are absolutely right: healt is the #1 priority!

Yeah those were there long years after rupture. If u go to regular check up with ultrasound once a year or if someone more concerned twice a year than such thing simply doesn't happen. I had my last ultrasound on my 8yrs old silicon implant after my saline TE in the other's ruptured and it was fine, then by the replacement OP one &half year later my PS discovered that it had ruptured, it must have happened in between that time, the gel stayed inside and didn't even caused tissue irritations so he went forward and finished my OP. That custom made silicon implants came with only 7 years guarantee and it happened after 9 years so nobody was surprised. But okay for u saline it is . I got that! But remember your surgeries weren't u still recovering 2 months after it? Which comes with fatigue coz your body's still healing and needs to concentrate the energy for that. As for panic attacks and insomnia there's over 200 years of psychological documentation (which is like 150 years before the first implants even been created) so one should use the tools of modern psyche evaluation and meds before jumping under the knife so soon, which btw could be a total new array of complications and consequences like any surgery...

hey, I am not avising you on anything just sharing my story. Im explanting on Sept 28th, durung my first cons. my ps suggested downzising and implant replacement , I said no. I realized afterwards that I may have caused my implan distortion myself , and for a week craved same or even bigger implants, another week or so passed by, yesterday I saw my ps ( 2nd pre op cons). He said downzsizing isn't necessary, same size, just narrower base would do. and I volunarily , on my own volition, freely said, I want an explant. He agreed to reimplant were I to not accept my own body. But I hope the change in me is so massive I will enjoy the real silicone bags-free me. I will fnd out. I pray you take the best decision you can

Hi Marmolada! It takes a good shot of courage to do what you did, I realky hope I can make the same decision for myself and love myself without implants. I know I could not live with difformity though, and in that case I would rather get smaller implants, I have to learn to accept my body as it is but always had a hard time with that... I hope your surgery goes well on the 28th... I was offered to do the surgery on Sept 21st yesterday but didn't book it cause I was so upset after the consultation...good luck and krep us updated!

Hi JessicaR1986, you're absolutely right, a week is not enough to see much improvement on my breast but PS said he doesn't want to do it before that in case the pocket start to close and if I choose to have small implants instead of explanting, it might cause asymetry....
September 5, 2015
Yeah I got it. Maybe although my saline expander ruptured at Christmas night (my PS was on sabbatical till mid.Jan) and could have the replacement surgery first at 7of February, so 6 weeks later and with that all went fine. Read my journey it's a good luring curve too;-) plus many women choose to deflation with surgery much later (sad b4 I have a lot free time to stalk this forum and other sources;-)

I was a 30FF with my implants. I had an explant and lift and I think I'm going to end up as a 30C or D. Why not have the explant and see how everything settles? I chose to do it all at once but you certainly don't have to do that. I'm still in the healing stage (only 10 days post) but I have been out numerous times and not one person has noticed a thing! I understand all of your anxiety as I was worried out of my mind before it too, but I think 99% of the ladies who do this really have good results and are so happy they did it. You will too!
