Re: breast explant ??? I had the exact same situation!

[Guest guest]

I also only had my salines in for 6 months & had them removed

without removing the capsules, its almost been 1 yr since my explant

(Aug 12) & I can finally (knock on wood) say I'm pretty much back to

my old self health wise, I was very sick very fast, 2wks after

getting them I started having every symptom you can think of, but

after explant it has been along road of supplements, lots of pure

water, excersing, organic when possible etc. it was slowly but

surely for me. How long has it been since your explant? Try & hang

in there & conitue to do what you are doing!

I have only had mine in for 3 months and have decided to have them

removed. I have had all of the horrible symptoms too. I am scared

though of being deformed. 3 out of 4 plastic surgeons I consulted

with all said I will be very depressed and be deformed with loose

saggy skin. Was this anyones experience?

Please help!

Here is what I think....any doctor who tells you that you are going

to be deformed with loose saggy skin is making a statement about

their own lack of skill in performing this surgery! Say goodbye and

run out of the door!

There are skilled doctors out there who can remove implants and make

you look great. In fact, I've known women who got their implants

out and have absolutely loved their post-explanted breasts! A good

surgeon can make you look great, and we've seen it over and over

again.

Young women have elasticity to their skin. I knew a woman who was a

dancer in a strip club. She had very tiny breasts to begin with,

but after she got sick and got the implants out, she was able to go

back to dancing in the club again, and her boobs looked totally

natural. They were not saggy or stretched out at all. I saw her

pictures...she looked like she had never had implants, and was only

left with some scars around her aerola. You'd have to look very

close to see that. My point is that the skin bounces back to its

former state very well in many women who have great skin elasticity.

These doctors are con artists...They just think we are stupid and

will believe anything they tell us. Run from them and find a

truthful one who won't use scare tactics against you, and has the

skill to do what needs to be done.

Thank you so much for your response. I am so scared. I also have

numbness in the lower halves of my breasts and thick scars.

I am 39, and so don't think my skin will be so elastic, although I am

very skinny with tight skin tone.

I so HATE my old plastic surgeon. I can't believe I did this and let

him mutilate me. I did such a stupid thing.

I have a constant buzzing feeling, my arms are numb and tingling all

the time and am severely depressed. Will I ever be the same?

Our support group was formed to give women hope that they can get

better. I was so desperate to get my health back after I got sick.

When I first got sick, all I wanted to do was talk to other sick

women and find out what they were doing to get better. I had to have

hope that I could get rid of that horrible brain fog and fatigue and

live life to the fullest again. Through the years, I've seen alot of

women drop out of sight in the support groups, I've seen women get

worse, I've seen some of them die, but there were always some who

got better. I wanted to know what they were doing, and then I

wanted to start helping other women find the answers to help them

get better too. I think we've found that there are certain

principles to live by that increase our odds of getting better, and

that is what we've been trying to share here.

So, yes, I think you can get better! As for being the same, my

honest feeling is that we will never be the same, but that doesn't

have to be a negative thing. In fact, I like to think that I have

learned so much and gained so much awareness of others who are

suffering that I am an even better person that I was before. My

symptoms are gone for the most part, but I definitely do not take my

health for granted. I am always cautious about how I treat my body,

what I eat, what I expose myself to, etc. This is the positive side

of our experience. Learning.

I hope you won't be scared. I know it is much easier for me to say

when you are going through this for the first time and finding out

that implants can really do some serious damage to your health. I

was scared out of my mind when I first got sick. But I am 7 years

post explant, so I want to calm your fears.....you can have a better

future once you get rid of the implants, making sure you have found

an excellent, compassionate and knowledgeable plastic surgeon to

remove your implants properly. From there, you can do some detoxing

efforts either through a supervised program with a naturopathic

doctor, or you can read some of the excellent material in books and

on the internet about detoxing and apply some of these principles to

daily living. Detoxing doesn't have to be complicated or

expensive. You just have to spend a little effort in finding out

some of the ways to do it and do what you are most comfortable with.

Does this help calm your fears? I hope so! I was about your age

when I got my implants out. I was 38, and had stretched saggy skin

from breastfeeding. I opted to get a lift upon explant, because I

already knew that my skin wasn't going to snap back...it was going

to stay saggy!

Take care, and stay in touch.

Hi

I think you will experience improvements after explant. Almost all

of us do. And with detoxification you will get even better. I do

not buy that you will have saggy skin. YOu haven't had them in very

long at all. We have many people here who had implants much longer

and their skin isn't sagging. I hope that you are not going back to

your ps. He doesn't sound very competent and you dont like him. We

have several good surgeons to recommend on this site.

Hugs,kathy
