Handel in Los Angeles recommended by my breast Doctor, I have seen 5 Doctors and all discouraged me from not replacing the implants I was starting to think maybe they were right I because they told me I would not be happy with the results, Dr. Handel o encouraged me to totally remove my silicone implants and feels I would have good results without replacement. I could not believe my prayers have been answered he was the first doctor that made me feel he cared about my health and looks. He explained the nipple may be jeopardized because this is a third surgery y .. but I really have no choice I have severe pain and cannot face the risk of another future breast surgery at 59 years old. I am scared about the potential nipple lost. It would be very helpful to receive support from others who have had the same surgery as I will be having and would share about their experience so I have a more clear picture of what I will be facing .. the doctors just don't take enough time.. they send you to the insurance lady and it is not easy to ask questions, because I feel rushed being in pain with my breast causes me to forget to ask questions that I should.. . I am fearful about the nipple but have a positive attitude. The Doctor I saw yesterday had just finished doing a capsulectomy with mystopexy without replacing implants he seemed to be excited and enthusiastic about the results, his office just called to gave me phone number of his patients I may talk with her about the his surgery removing her s removed without replacing implants. I never had a doctor tell me this in all the doctors I have seen. . It has taken me time to work up to the whole idea of removing my implants without replacement, though I am still apprehensive about the surgery and adjustment to the new size. I appreciate any input form ladies who can share with supportive encouragement, and facts about how they are doing Thanks Dot Express yourself with MSN Messenger 6.0 -- download now!
