Guest guest Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Ok well I called Dr.Fengs office and talked with and she told me that she has never heard of anything like what has been being discussed here. In fact she said to PLEASE CALL THEM and they would be happy to discuss this issue personally with you ....... I suggest doing this, she also said to call Dr.Melmed as well because she doubts he has ever heard of this either. She said that if this was any kind of issue that it would have been in my consent form for one thing......also that implants just do not weigh enough to cause this type of chest wall deformity. Now the girl you are speaking of Lynn on explantation from all that I can recall was very thin and explained to me in the case of one girl they had who was a skinny skinny girl that had implants since she was 16 years old had a slight concave look in the beginning but it isn't because her ribs or anything were affected just breast tissue that needed to be fluffed out over time. This is normal....all of us that get explanted will have a somewhat flat look at first....but to have an actual deformity is exactly what I thought it isnt true. Saline implants are as put it " not rocks on your chest " they don't weight enough and they are not hard enough to do that. They also have some amount of give to them. Now there is a huge difference between a chest wall deformity and simply fluffing that occurs to compressed tissue. Our tissue is def compressed. This takes time to fluff. I would call Dr. Feng and in fact they are hoping you will call, tell them that told them you would be calling and they will put you through to Dr Feng if she is available. take care Oh her number in case you need it is 216-831-7007 they are awesome about answering question on the phone... email she says is bombarded with messages so the phone is the best way to contact them thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
