Re: Considering Dr. Huang or Dr. Feng... any thoughts ?

[Guest guest]

I have sent maybe a thousand women to Dr. Huang, and never had a negative

report. My daughter went to her for a breast reduction, and she looks

wonderful. She is about half the price of Feng, but I have to say that I

recommend both, depending on where you live. I think, since you live in

Denver, you will find Dr. Huang to be a wonderful plastic surgeon, and ask

for before and after pictures.

---I was just explanted two weeks ago by Dr. Huang, i live in

colorado springs and would have made the trip to texas for Dr.

Melmed but i went to dr. Huang and i really liked her. Today i got

my dressings off and i am pretty happy with the way they look. I

was actually really suprised. I would recommend her if you are

living in Denver, surgery is hard enough when you dont have to

travel.

I know she works very hard to make sure women look very good after

explant. And she removes them properly.

Lynda,

Thank you for your input. I guess my major concern is if both

surgeons are equal in expertise as far as escaped silicon removal. I

can't see how my silicon implants could be intact after 14 years and

if mass amounts of silicon have escaped the capsule, I want to know

that I have gotten as much out as possible and not have to go

through this again. I know Feng does the ultrasound diagnostic. I

just don't know how much good that does when there are particles of

silicon throughout a person's body that no surgeon could possibly

get to !

Thanks again for your help.

I would have to say that they are both experts in this field, and doubt if

one is better than another. They went to school together.

My personal opinion is that Dr. Feng is probably one of the top

experts in the country on removing residual silicone from ruptured

implants. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her above all others.

I know Dr. Feng is better known by some in this group, but I sincerely

doubt that one is better than the other. I would trust Dr. Huang every bit

as much as Dr. Feng.

I had a consult with Huang and she was really very nice. She is not,

however, interested in removing lymph nodes or anything that might

be supsect. She told me that she believes getting the implant and

capsule out should remove 99% of the silicon and whatever is left in

my body... well.. my body will encapsulate it and wall it off if

it's large enough. I don't honestly know what the best approach is.

My only major concern is that she doesn't feel I need a lift and

that really scares me regarding outcome. My breasts are up high on

my chest and very perky but after 14 years of 325cc and not much

natural breast tissue to speak of.... what the heck happens with all

of the strectched out skin?? She told me I could always come back

for a lift a year from now if I was unahppy. I'm not thrilled with

the prospect of having additional surgery if I don't absolutely have

to ! I need to post to the women who have had removal and no lift.

I've seen some great pics but those women are more like a B cup

after removal, not an A.

Actually Dr. Huang does some internal stitching that lifts the breasts.

And I myself have grave doubts as to the advisability of removing lymph

nodes, as, unless an MRI or untrasound shows they are clogged, they will

clean themselves and our immune system needs them. I had two removed, and

regret it.

K,

You skin can spring back . . . This depends on your

skin elasticity - which depends in large part on your

age. If Dr Huang thinks you will be happy a year from

now, she most likely thinks your skin will spring

back. Most women find that their natural tissue

" fluffs " after the implants are removed. Your true

shape and size will be evident months after your

explant. Most women are pleasantly surprised at how

they look.

I agree with Lynda that removing lymph nodes shouldn't

be removed. When you have your implants removed, the

amount of silicone in your urine peaks. This tells me

that your body is going to pass small accumulations

naturally. It does take time. Drinking a lot of water

will help immensely.

We used to have before and after pictures in our

archives. However, that made us an adult group, so

we've taken them down. You can see photos at

www.explantation.com.

Hugs and prayers,

Rogene

I thought the same thing when i went in a month and a half ago, i

figured how could i not need a lift when i had stretched that skin

out so much. But Dr. Huang said i definitly didnt and boy was she

right. I am actually pretty pointy, i wish i had some sag, haha we

are never happy with what we have. Im figuring i am only 23 so i

will have some time for gravity to take over. I know yours have

been in a lot longer though, but if they still seem pretty perky

then i would think she might be right. I will try to send you some

pics of mine if you would like. I am only an A, but i am also

pretty petite, i have actually lost at least 5 pounds since

explant. When is your app with Dr. Feng?

Rogene,

Thank you for your reply. I think my skin is fairly elastic. Through

two pregnancies and breastfeeding (another huge concern I know live

with) I don't have any stretchmarks and not too much extra skin. My

breasts didn't really drop down any farther after all of that and

boy were they huge while I nursed. I'm 5'4 and 120 lbs so I'm fairly

petite (with C cup boobs... realistic eh??) Hehe. I will take the

opinion of the experts on the topic of lift. With the silicone. If

it's outside the capsule, Dr. Huang feels certain she can get most

of it. Probably same technique... scraping it away.My implants are

textured... another issue, but she said she has seen " everything " .

I did ask my doc to do a platinum and tin test (Probably just test

for all the metals) and he told me to wait until I have them

removed, then come in immmediately for the tests. That will give us

worse case scenario and a starting point to get my system " cleaned

up " .

I've read every story at explantation.com and think that so many of

those women are absolutely beautiful without implants. It has given

me a great sense of peace about something I know has to be done

regardless of outcome.

Thank you for your hugs and prayers !

Aubree...

I would love to see before and after if you have them. I looked a

lot of photos in her office an MOST of those women did not have a

lift. I was suprised ! I'll listen to her professional opinion on

that.

I don't have an appoint. set up with Feng. She gave me some options

for surgery date and I called yesterday but did not hear back.

I would have to fly out for a consultation and ultrasound. At least

I would know for sure what we are dealing with internally. That

would help with my decision, but right now I feel pretty good about

Dr. Huangs level of expertise. She didn't seem concerned of the

possiblity of silicone being all over my chest cavity.

You are so right.. are we ever happy with every aspect of our

bodies? I suppose that is what got us implants in the first place !

I need to be happy au natural ! That is the way God made me after

all and who am I to question his handy work?!

Well.... a little botox between the eyes wouldn't hurt i guess....

Hi there

I had very small AA's pre-implants and received 250cc's under the muscle.... I had them in for 7 years and they became much larger when I was pregnant and breast feeding... I went from a C to about a DD for a while there and my doctor said the same thing - I did not need a lift. I questioned it also as I did not want any additional surgeries or to look weird.... He was right and I am glad I followed his recommendations and didn't spend the extra money. My breasts look fairly normal now - a little larger than before implanting with no saggyness or extra skin, etc. Maybe they have a way of knowing from one woman to the next based on age and the implant size, etc., as to whether or not they will need the lift... I am not sure but he was right on the money in my case and saved me thousands as well as extra scarring, etc. Just thought you might like another point of view on this one... I was 32 at my explant...

shari,

I genuinely appreciate your input as it puts my mind at ease to hear

your experience. BTW, do you mind sharing who did your surgery?

I will listen to the professional opinion of whomever performs the

surgery. Like you said, the docs who perform this procedure

repeatedly probably have a good idea of what to expect with each

case.

How long did it take for your tissue to " fluff out " and fill in? I

want to be mentally prepared for immediate results vs. long term.

I'm 36 now and have two children under 4. My body bounced back

fairly well after both. My breasts also got huge, but didn't seem to

look any different after nursing.

I also would be wonderfully happy not to spend the extra $ on the

lift !

Thank you so much.
