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

[Guest guest]

Shari,

Thank you so much for this info. You are so kind.

I also have no feeling in the lower half of my breasts and a thick

internal scar underneath the aerolas.Do you think the feeling will

come back and the scar tissue will diminish once removed?

What is the proper procedure for en bloc? I found a wonderful dr.

who said she first drains the saline out of the body through a

sterile tube, then removes the implant shells, then removes the scar

capsule if any. She said I may not have a capsule since I haven't

had them in too long. If I do though, she will remove them.

What do you think?

thanks, sue
