> Hello,

>

> It was suggested by Rose to contact you. I have had McGhan textured

> saline implants for 8 years. No problems with them, but I WANT THEM OUT.

> No replacements. I have a list of doctors who do explants, but appears

> that none of them are in the state of Washington (where I am located).

>

> If you could post these questions, & let me know of any responses, I

> would be so grateful. I had a consultation with a ps who would remove

> them. He is board certified & was on the surgeon locator list that never

> had any complaints & so forth. However, he says that he removes them

> period. No capsule & drains, but has NEVER had anyone come back with

> problems. Only one for a lift later.

>

> After some reviewing it seems that most think the capsule & drains

> should be used. Taking the capsule out sounds painful & gory. I have

> wanted the implants out for years, but am afraid of the pain, cost, etc.

> I can only hope that removal will not be as bad as putting them in,

> because that I remember very well. I laid around for 3-4 days after

> initial surgery, was physically stunted for 2 weeks after that & did not

> feel " normal " for 6 months. Could you please post questions asking this:

>

> Has anyone ever had a doctor explant in the state of Washington. En bloc

> technique, and straight removal. Who were the doctors, how did it go,

> any pertinent information pertaining to the explantation.

>

> Thankyou so much for your time & effort.
