Guest guest Posted October 17, 2001 Report Share Posted October 17, 2001 Hello, I'm looking for phone # or e-mail address for Dr Huang in Denver. Also any personal experiences, information, references for Dr Huang and/or Dr Feng on residual silicon removal. After removal do you regain any memory loss or joint range of motion or is the deterioration arrested. I had silicon implants from 1984 to 1994 but the symptoms continued and lately seem worse. At the rate I'm going it wont be long till my hands and feet are totally disfunctional. The scar tissue was not removed at explant and one capsule had ruptured. I'm so sorry I just now discovered all the wonderful web sites and am so grateful for all the help. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Melmed brought up the subject of capsule removal before I had a chance to ask. I didn't have to be assertive at all. I did ask him to give me, in writing, his word he'd remove all of the capsules, and he did. He once made a post on explantation.com re: his policy on capsule removal. It seemed very well-reasoned to me. I have tried to find the post but it has been too many months and it isn't accessible anymore. From what I recall, he said he always removes the entire capsule, except in rare cases where it might cause excessive damage, and then he removes as much as he can. He also said that the problem with retained capsules has to do with the fact that they are enclosed pockets which could contain silicone, mold and other toxins.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 I had a phone consultation with him in September and he echoed this as well - he did say he removed all of it, and I didn't ask either. I am not going to worry unnecessarily,and for now, what is done is done, but in light of the person my ps appeared to be in the end, if I ever wanted to know if there was anything left behind, is there a way to tell? I know this question has been asked, but I can't seem to find the old post. > > > > >Oh Bindi...thanks. I have read so much about Dr. Melmed and have > > >been talking to him quite a lot via email.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 There are some scans that would show remaining scar tissue - but, unless you continue to be sick, I'd leave well enough alone. When the time comes that you have a mammogram, you'll know more anyway. I "tricked" my doctor's office into confirming that all my capsule was removed by telling them I had an abnormal mammogram and needed to confirm that it wasn't part of the capsule. They said he usually didn't remove the capsule - but checked my records and confirmed that he actually had removed mine.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 I'm very happy to hear he's committed to removing all the capsule . . .he and I had a number of discussions about this . . .He appeared to be talking around the issue at the time. He's always removed all capsules from gel implants - Salines were more questionable.freebindi <bindi@...> wrote: Melmed brought up the subject of capsule removal before I had a chance to ask.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 The scar tissue may contain silicone debris from the implant, or pathogens - bacteria, mold, fungi. As time goes by, the capsule collapses and squezes these materials into the chest cavity, providing a constant source of infection. The collapsed capsules may also mimic cancer, requiring needless mammograms, biopsies and surgeries. The best option is to have the implants removed "en bloc" - That means removing the capsule with the implant still inside to avoid spilling any contaminents into the chest cavity.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 I did go back to see what was said in the past, and what I could find was that one woman had said that Melmed told her that capsules "resolve over time." He told me this as well-- that tissue-thin capsules can shrink down to become like thin scar tissue. He also told me that he thought they should be removed as thoroughly as possible. I'm not trying to argue about this with anyone here. I was explaining what was my experience with Melmed. A lot of what gets discussed and advised here tends to be based on personal experience, which I think is good-- we're not doctors, but what we've been through can be really valuable for others on the same path. I have seen negative posts on another explant site about less-than-happy experiences with some of the other oft-recommended explant docs, but I haven't mentioned them here, because it isn't anything I could confirm or have any direct experience with. I was offering what happened to me. I expect that whomever reads it will take it as that. If another woman had a unsatisfactory experience with Melmed, I would hope she would speak up about it, to help others along when making their decision. I based my decision to go with Melmed on several factors-- the experience of others, his responses to my emails and phone calls, his speaking out publicly to the FDA against implants, price, proximity, and my intuition. He isn't perfect-- he can be brusque and hard to pin down sometimes, but he was the right choice for me.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Well said Bindi! One of the wonderful things about this group is it's ability to share experiences. It can cut the healing time dramatically! We can only offer our experiences. Everyone is responsible for their own choices. Thank you!

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Talking of Scar Tissue, does this also include scar tissue all the way in your arm. I can hear it poppin and crackin when I move it. It feels like it is all attached from my right breast to my right shoulder. My shoulder is frozen. I wonder if this is why I am not well because I have a lot of scar tissue in my shoulder. Please respond if any suggestions. Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Bindi, From what I have read in the past and my experience with Dr. Melmed. If you have silicone Yes he is first to ask you about removal of capsule. If you have saline he says no need for capsule removal sometimes. It depends on how long you had your saline's. I had mine for one year and 3 months. He didn't see the need for me to have my capsules removed. I just went to Dr. Kolb, she worked for me. I think it is different for everyone and I am thankful we have Dr. Melmed I heard great things about him as well. I think it is all different from patient to patient. I was wanting to bring up a different subject that I don't like about some of the explant doctor's and we sometimes don't get to chat to all women sick with implants. The point that some explant doctor's don't ask patients if they want there implants sent off for testing. They should at least give you the option for testing. They should also send out the implants to Dr. Blais or whomever themselves. The manufacturers are going to continue to get away with defective products if we all don't get them tested and prove our cases. If you send off your implants yourself then they are of no help because you could have tampered with them. Now that I know what I know now, I am really thankful that mine were tested and Dr. Kolb gave me the option, I am glad to know the truth. My own opinion here and hope nobody gets upset with me. Good Luck and Happy Healing's!!!!!!!! Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Bindi, Was there stuff floating in the implants he gave you back?

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 The scar tissue contains sloughed off silicone and other contaminants such as heavy metals, so it can still make you sick if it is left in your body.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Melmed gave me my implants in a plastic bucket-- they were intact (I only had them in for one year). I still have 'em, still am thinking of what sort of art project they could make! It was the capsules that he sent to a lab. It was an extra fee for the testing and another for the interpretation of the test, but I am glad I did it.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Donna, Have you seen an orthopedic surgeon for your shoulder? Physical therapy can help break up the scar tissue and get the shoulder moving again, increasing your range of motion. I am going through the same thing now with mine except that mine was caused by an injury. Kenda > Talking of Scar Tissue, does this also include scar tissue all the way in > your arm.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Melmed will take out your capsules and send them to a lab. The capsules are what the body makes around the implant, in an attempt to protect itself from a foreign body. Imagine if we did not have capsules! We'd be a lot sicker. . .
