feeds@yuku.com (cmajestic) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 11:59:23 GMT

Hey ladies! It's been too long since I've been on here...I've been so busy with school! I wanted to give you all an update- I'm about 3 months out of my explant and they are looking better as time goes on. I am glad that I went through with it, because I know that the implants were the root of my problems to begin with. Thank you all again for being there for me and helping me through the decision, I couldn't have done it without you! I can't even believe it's...

Hello, I just got my implants removed two days ago. I had them put in a month ago, 339cc and they were way to big!! I was wearing a 32D, being 4''10 and 95 pounds it just looked awful not to mention they were very uncomfortable. I am very happy that there gone :) My only concern is that they are not as perky as they were before :( Will it get better over time?? Another question for those who have had there implants removed, did any of you elect to get laser treatments for the...

Recovery after Explants....any info will help

feeds@yuku.com (lulu) — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 00:52:37 GMT

Hi, I am new and was explanted by Dr. Worthing in Houston Sept 3, so about 9 days ago. He did an anchor lift as I was afraid not to get lifted. I initially went in with a loss of volume about 5 years ago, for a tummy tuck and when I questioned the lack of profile due to a tiny bit of sag...but hey I was finally almost a C cup, 36B/34C, that looked good in a push up, he talked me into implants saying they would take up the slack. I asked not to look done and I guess from a guys standpoint they...

Explant July 31st!!

feeds@yuku.com (cmajestic) — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 14:18:00 GMT

Hey ladies, I thought I'd start a new topic since I need all the advice I can get within the next couple of weeks! :) My explant is scheduled for July 31st with Dr. Feng, I am not changing my mind. I am still really scared of what I'm going to look like, and I'm hoping that my mind is amplifying it all but who knows. I just want to look normal and pretty of course. I don't want to do the explant but I feel it is the only choice that will be putting my health first. So for...

My explant is finally behind me!!

feeds@yuku.com (gmareggie) — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 00:01:10 GMT

Hi ladies,

I had my explant on Friday, and everything went well. I just returned home this afternoon, and I am doing pretty good.

The surgery wasn't nearly as bad as I feared it would be. I didn't even throw up when I woke from the anesthesia! I did however, start my period while in pre-op, after the IV was in. Can you even believe it?? It was a bad one too...for days, and I felt dealing with the cramps was sometimes worse than the surgery pain!

The...

Surgeon Consultations complete

feeds@yuku.com (keepinthefaith) — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 11:09:07 GMT

Well I have seen 3 different surgeons. I have narrowed it down to two. Dr. H. Seify and Dr. J. Chun both in Newport Beach, CA. I am waiting for clarification on a question for Dr. Seify. There is a difference between the incisions needed for removal/no replacement and lift. One uses lollipop plus cut under the breast, one uses just lollipop. I am a B cup now with implants and will go to an A cup. I have had these in for 27 years and I have had and nursed 3 children. My instincts tell...

confused- would like input

feeds@yuku.com (violet) — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 10:51:25 GMT

Hello ladies,
This is my first post. I have saline implants (smooth, round behind the muscle 375 cc) put in almost 3 years ago. Since my teenage years, I had wished for more volume in my breasts. I was in my late 40's and starting to droop just a little (more on one side than the other). So after much research, I decided to have the implants along with a crescent lift. I felt very comfortable with my surgeon. My thoughts were that I would enjoy the extra volume and that the implants...

Signs of breast implant problems

• Breasts feel very hard and painful and/or look like round balls or distorted: The condition could be capsular contracture in which the internal scar tissue around the implants becomes too tight and begins to squeeze the implant. It can lead to leakage or rupture of the breast implants.
• Uneven or a decrease in...

POSSIBLE RISKS OF HAVING A CAPSULECTOMY

There is the risk of general anesthesia (possible reactions to anesthesia such as nausea, drowsiness, and fatigue); however, there have been many changes for the good in the types and quantities of drugs that are used during surgery. You can also sit down and discuss your questions and concerns with the anesthesiologist involved in your case.
There is more blood loss involved. However, a plastic surgeon who has...

En bloc/surgeon question

feeds@yuku.com (brg) — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 19:37:42 GMT

I recently found this site, surgery is scheduled for 10/29. I left a message for my dr to ask if implant removal is en bloc. The message back to me via a nurse was if it looked like it should be, "yes", and if it looked like more trauma would be caused by doing it that way, then "no". When I called back to ask more questions a few minutes later, the office was closed, now more questions will have to wait until tomorrow, the day before. I am thinking of at least...

How was your explant done?

feeds@yuku.com (WaldonSalty) — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 16:26:42 GMT

I have been posting under a thread called "Question about Explant" and decided to start this thread because I am wondering about all of your surgeries. I had my implants removed 2 weeks ago today. My doctor just opened me up, took them out and sewed me back up. I was very nervous after reading all that I have heard here but went along with it since he did the original surgery and was willing to stand by his work by reducing the costs. I know this sounds very "back...

Hi my name is Mendy and I'm 39yrs old. I have had silicone breast implants for approx. 14 years. I have Multiple Sclerosis although I do not know if the implants were a factor in its development.

I have contacted Dr. Melmed about doing my explant and a possible lift and maybe a little upper arm lipo heehee. Does anyone have advice or opinions on Dr. Melmed and approx what it may cost? I will be traveling to see him from TN.

Thank you all. I am very glad I found this...

Questions about explant

feeds@yuku.com (WaldonSalty) — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 00:37:50 GMT

10 years ago, I had a breast lift with implants. I really didn't want them because I was happy with my size but wanted them picked up because I had breast fed 4 babies. I was talked into it by my PS. He said I needed a small one to rebuild my upper breast. He put in 230 CC.,(seemed too big to me) and I went up to a a "D" cup. I've always felt too large but accepted it. I recently realized that my right implant must've broken or leaked. I feel a lump and it seems...
