I Am in the Consult Stage - Toronto, ON
So far I have contacted a PS who got back to me...
I'm even more excited to find out time frames ..... How soon I can have this done?
I have read many great reviews that share my concerns and his advice has been exactly what I hope a PS would give!

Regarding Dr. Shortt. I saw him about 2 years ago for a ganlion cyst on my wrist. He was very pleasant. He drained it 3 times and it didnt go away at first. Took awhile. Then it did go away and for almost a year but now its back. I contacted his office 2 months ago and I have been booked in for next July! That is just only to see him again and go over things. Not for him to surgically remove it which I might be doing. I asked the receptionist why so long of a wait and she said Dr. Shortt is only in the office 1 day a week doing consults and the other days hes in surgery. When I first stared seeing him 2 years ago it was easy to get in to see him. Not now. Hes rather young but very nice.
Good luck!
Health After Explantation!
I am booked for Explant en bloc I can't wait to have these poisenes things out of my once very healthy body! Every day my health energy and optimism falls further down. Guilt lear's it's ugly head as well, first that I spent that kind of money and 2nd I put all my faith in a stranger! I wanted this its all my fault I am un well I did this to myself how foolish! Fear that my health may not improve that the damage is done.
I have pain everyday, breast pain, joint pain, hair loss, brain fog, extreme fatigue, un ordination.........I could go on and this has been worse since my Mammogram.
I would love to hear from people with similar symptoms and from those who have ex planted and what their symptoms are like now.
I see a lot of photos good and bad but right now I'm more concerned with the whole picture health more than how they look, mind you I am praying my breasts will not be disfigured but I want to feel like myself again!

Anyone have similar symptoms?

Hope you feel better soon!!

I'm so glad you started your story on RealSelf! What about your implants makes you want them out?
I think I liked the results initially but they never felt like part of me ......... Once the swelling was gone and they dropped some (6months) they felt too big and my propriocetion never adjusted........it doesn't help that I have zero nipple sensation and still some part around my breast are completely numb.
I have had my implants in for two years. In the last two years I have been sick from upper/lower respiratory illness, arthritis like pains in my joints, last year I had a hypertensive emergency accompanied with a rapid onset severe headache.(like my head was going to explode or I was going to stroke.
I live a very healthy life style and eat clean. After being sick and feeling tired all the time I decided to try and be even more health minded I did a 30 day cleanse began working out and running again but symptoms did not subside...... I also have more symptoms like shoulder arm pain numbness tingling,hair loss, heaviness and pain in my chest and difficulty getting my BP under control.
I happened upon this site because I wondered if there was anyone like my self who regretted their implants or felt ashamed they spent the money and would consider spending more money only to have them removed and back to the way they were. I hate them I dress to hide them because I catch people looking at them when I speak to them. I am currently a DD and they are hard to hide without making me look and feel fat! The implants I chose are much smaller then what the PS had suggested.
Now I am looking to make myself feel natural again and I'm very curious to how my symptoms will be once I am implant free!
