To - recent patient of Dr. Melmed

May 6, 2005

Hi! You mentioned you had ruptured bad. Did you have silicone or

saline? I have been experiencing a lot of pressure and nagging pain

in my breasts for the last few weeks. Did you ever have any of these

symptoms before you were explanted? I think I am going to go to

Dr.Melmed in June. How did your lift turn out? I understand the

explant and lift is together in one fee. Is that true? Did you come

accross any negatives? Also are you close that you were able to come

back? That is one of my husbands concerns. Being that we live in

MInnesota. Sorry for all the questions! Just making sure I am making

right decisions. Thankyou Kim

Being in Minnesota you are much closer to Dr. feng in Cleveland, Ohio.

Not that there is anything bad about Dr. Melmed, I have only heard

good things, but if it's proximity your concerned about she is much

closer. I am sure you will find that the women on this group would

recommend her highly! I have my appointment with her on June 22nd.

i had bilateral mastectomies 20 years ago with silicone reconstruction

immediately. About 4 or 5 years ago I had this horrific burning in my

chest-thought I was having a heart attack-my neighbor Internst blew it

off-if I was having a heart attack-I'd really know it. I dismissed it and

then developed this rash all over my top half of my body-wouldn't go

away-finally after about 6 months of prednisone it went away-then gradually

my joints and muscles were really going downhill. I had alot of pressure

and severe pain especially in my shoulder. My capsule that formed around

the implant had grown in and around my ribs and was very difficult for him

to get out. I am now flat as a pancake and don't care-I don't know anything

about the lift. another lady I talked to was Reynolds who used him

for that-see if you can find her through this network-I've lost touch and

don't have her address. Good luck kim! I'm doing a detox this weekend.
