Guest guest Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 , I'm sure someone here will post Dr. Blais' information. . . Right off hand, I don't know where I have it! He has different rates for what you need done. You plastic surgeon normally sends your implants to a pathologist for examination. You may be able to skip that step and save the money for Dr. Blais' inspection. If you'll go the archives, check the Messages (left hand side), then do a search for Dr. Blais, you'll find a lot of information about him! Very interesting man! Contact Dr. Blais for information about shipping your implants. Give your doctor his instructions and he should see to it that they are shipped properly. Dr. Blais will be able to analyze the implants and capsules even if they are drained . . . there will be enough material left for him. The drainage tubes aren't painful . . . just cumbersome since you really can't wear regular street clothes until they come out. The doctor should leave them in until there isn't significant drainage. That may be one day or several days. It just takes a quick tug to remove them. No pain! When you talk to your doctor, tell him what YOU WANT. After all, he is working FOR YOU! . . . If he starts giving you a difficult time about the procedure, he's the wrong doc. He will tell you it's not always possible to remove the implants en bloc. And he's right. There are circumstances under which he may have to section the capsule to remove it. Even then, he should make every effort to get all of of the capsule! One additional benefit of removing the capsule, besides your current health is that it won't be mistaken for a growth in future mammograms. The way you described your doctor, I don't think you will have any problem. Let him know about your concerns. Doctors want satisfied, happy patients. You can tell him what you've learned about our " famous " doctors . . . He doesn't have to be against implants to remove your implants properly . . . just respectful of what you want done. Writing a statement about what you want done, and asking him to sign it should give you a good indication of his willingness to do the job right. Hope this helps!

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Honey, I have the information here in front of me. I will have to go to the old computer and scan it in. Dr. Blais gave it to me a few months ago for one of the ladies in my group. The nodes that I have are on the end of my fingers, just below my nail. They do not bother me. My hands are very painful, but that is okay...love you...Lea ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`` Re: Re: Canada Doctor > > , > > I'm sure someone here will post Dr. Blais' > information. . .
