Re: trying to find a good Dr. to explant

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Your story sounds almost exactly like mine. I had mine for about 8

months when I began suffering from extreme fatigue and dizziness. I

also had the burning in my breasts. They felt very hot and feverish,

and then I also had the zinging and sharp stabbing pains in my

breasts as well. It can be nerve regeneration, but it can also be

nerve inflammation that is not getting resolved too. That zinging

and stabbing pain continues after explant for a period of time until

your nerves do regenerate and become healthy and unaffected again.

I just have to disagree with your doctor, because it does sound all

related to your implants, including the hair loss. That can be from

an affected thyroid or some other hormonal disorders.

You can begin your doctor search now. No matter who does it, you

can expect to have to pay at least $5000 or more, but you will want

to make sure your explant is done properly. Generally we recommend

that the surgeon to explant should not be the one who implanted,

because they are not sufficiently concerned enough with doing a

proper removal, and as you said, your surgeon advised you not to

take them out. They all say that. The sick women are the ones they

want to sweep under the rug and forget about. They don't want to

deal with us.

So, it is best to find a doctor who understands this illness and

what is going on. We have a couple New York doctors on our

recommended list, but we have heard that they don't always

acknowledge the illness either, and so you have to go in to your

consultation knowing what you want done and being firm in your

convictions.

Hi , I had mine done about 5 months ago, and my body's not the

same as it was before, either. I have never been on such an

emotional roller coaster in my life, and I'm really scared, kind of

paralyzed by fear - although I do have surgery scheduled for 11/7 (I

had it scheduled for 10/5 but postponed it). My doctor is in the

Cleveland, Ohio area, Dr. Feng. I live in New Jersey, but wanted

someone who acknowledges that implants make people sick and would

take alot of care in removing them. I think my biggest fear is that

I'll still feel terrible after the explant, or that I'll feel worse.

The fact that they're in my body is just too hard to live with,

though, and I have to focus on that fact. I feel awful about the

money spent, and the money that's going to be spent on removing

them. I'm curious, since you've just begun experiencing problems,

did you like your implants at first, or have you pretty much felt

uncomfortable with them from the start? I often wonder if it takes

the people who love them longer to accept that the implants are

making them sick, as opposed to those like myself who felt like it

was a mistake from day one.

Patty,

I read your post to . I had a consultation with my initial PS, who incidentally is on the list for explant. He did a ton of explants of the silicones for years and years and years. He said I would be his first saline patient. It's only been 7 months that I've had mine. Overall, I'm not happy and mildly symptomatic. He thinks it's hormonal (the symptoms). He said he'll gladly take them out and will remove the whole deal and may have to leave a little capsule behind because so much of it is so thin and the body will warden off the excess and eliminate it. I am inclined to go with him because of his experience in the past of tons of removals. Plus, it's much much cheaper (2400 vs 6650 for Dr. Feng and I wouldn't have to travel and pay hotel costs, etc). He assured me that my case would be easy and that I would return to normal. i think I disappointed him because I want to remove them. I just feel

fake.

Advice?

Sis,

See my most recent email. I didn't really like mine from the start either but convinced myself I did for a while. I have felt soooooo incredibly fake fake fake and it's not me. What did Dr. Feng say about removal so quickly and the necessity for having to goto her? Is she going to have to use the microscope if they've only been in a bit?

Hi ,

Hmmm, he is on our list, but you would be his first saline explant??

That sounds so weird, especially since salines have been around for

decades! That just sounds so unusual for him not to have taken out

ANY salines before! But, perhaps it is true, and he will do his

first saline explant with you. Are you okay with that? Do you have

a good relationship with this surgeon?

I know that my original PS told me that he would remove my implants

for free, but he was going to just go in and pop them out without

taking care of the scar tissue. I just didn't feel good about that.

I wanted to make sure it was done right the first time, because it

was going to be the only time that I was going to go under the knife

again.

You are the one who knows what your gut instinct is telling you. If

you feel absolutely comfortable with this man, and you believe that

he will do a good job of explanting you, then by all means, go with

him. I have to say that I disagree with the idea that the body will

eliminate the scar tissue on its own. I have seen indications of

the opposite...that the scar tissue will continue to evolve and even

grow, becoming calcified and possibly harbor colonies of pathogens.

I am not a doctor and I don't want to sound alarmist, but I think I

would be more inclined to take the " better to be safe than sorry "

approach and try to go with someone who will do their absolute best

to get all of the scar tissue out. Maybe you should discuss this

with him further, and show him the articles we have posted in our

files section about retained scar capsules and the risks inherent

with them. There is really no evidence that scar tissue dissolves

on its own.

It isn't Dr. Melmed is it? Just guessing because I know he has done

alot of removals. But he has definitely done alot of saline.

Anyway, it is nice to know you are getting validation from him about

the hope of full recovery. Of course, we want all women to have that

hope. But the best thing you can do for yourself is to make sure

that the surgeon is your ally in getting everything out

possible...the implant and ALL of the scar tissue. It takes more

time and skill to do it right, but then, that's what you are paying

them for, right?

Finally, look over Dr. Feng's conditions about scar capsule

removal. If you fit these criteria, then perhaps you will be fine

with the explant as you and your doctor discussed it.

(Thanks very much to Dr. Lu-Feng of Cleveland Ohio for these

remarks

regarding capsule removal after saline implants)

A biological capsule will form around any implant. Any saline

implant removal

will require a total capsulectomy. Like anything else in life,

there are few

exceptions. Here are the few exceptions which would have to be

fulfilled

before I would entertain the possibility of not removing the saline

capsule.

(1) The capsule has to be tissue paper thin and without contracture.

(2) The patient has to be without any local or systemic symptoms.

(3) The saline implant has to be smooth shelled.

(4) There has to be no previous history of gel filled implant

insertion.

All these conditions have to be fulfilled before I would consider

not taking

the saline capsule out. As you can see, few patients would fulfill

these

criteria. Invariably, I take out the entire capsule around saline

implants.

Best Wishes !

Hi - I went to my original doctor, too, and he was going to be

quite a bit cheaper as well. However, what bothers me is that I

don't want anything left behind, and what I've learned on this site

is that leaving the capsule behind could be a problem. Even though

my capsule might be thin, Dr. Feng won't leave them behind if you're

having symptoms. Apparently the capsule contains the same type of

contaminants as the implant, and if it's left behind you could

continue to have symptoms. I don't want the capsule dissolving in my

body if it's got things attached to it that will continue to make me

sick. I want to make sure that every possible effort is taken to

remove the capsule along with the implant, so that I can get better

after the surgery. It's definitely less convenient and more

expensive, and the hotel stay doesn't thrill me, however I feel that

if I'm going to do this, I have to do it right. Dr. Feng has done so

many explants, it didn't seem to be an issue for her to be removing

mine after 6 months (by the time I have the surgery, it will be 6

months). She didn't question my reasons for going to her, I think by

now she realizes why most people come to her when they're sick from

implants. If you don't mind my asking, what kind of symptoms are you

having?

I haven't slept well since I had the implants - although lately I've

had a few really good nights of sleep. Last month was really bad as

far as symptoms go - my joints got really sore and my fingertips were

throbbing, but so far this month that's eased up. It's really odd.

I definitely get the night sweats, too. Knock on wood my hair still

seems the same, but some of my joints are sore, and my lymph glands

in my armpits are sore. I lost about 10 lbs, but my appetite is

better lately and I'm eating more, so hopefully by the time I have

surgery I'll be a little stronger.

Hi There. I am an implant survivor, saline implants as well. I had

mine removed after 18 months but I got ill around 3 months after

implanting and stupidly I waited around thinking maybe it was somthing

else and not wanting to get rid of the implants as I had just spent so

much on them and wanted to keep them even though they were big and

ugly! Anyhow I was like you I wanted a Dr that understood and beleived

in me, not one that was put out by removing them and telling me I

would regret it. The Dr I went to who I felt was the best and most

experienced and had tons of pictures of her work was Dr.Feng in Ohio.

www.drfeng.com. She not only has the most kind and knowledgable staff

but they also really believed in me and that I would get better. Dr

Feng just about guaranteed that if I got them out the right way, and

gave things a little time I would be back to my old self. This after I

had been diagnosed with mixed connective tissue disease! well I can

tell you happily that after almost 6 years since my explant and YEAH I

AM ALL BETTER! Somethings took longer than others to go away but

within about a year and a half I was better and now I lead a wonderful

busy total life.

Please don't wait too long to get them out and start feeling beter ok!

hugs

Sorry I am not Patty but have to butt in because i am concerned for

you to go to this PS that says he has never removed saline and that he

will leave behind some of the capsule. This is probabl why Dr. Feng is

a bit more, she leaves nothing behind and that is why we get well when

we go to her. Most of us andyhow.

I worry about him saying the capsule is papter thin as he has not even

looked inside there yet. I personally know Dr Feng is not going to

leave anything behind if your sick from implants. She is so good and

leaves your breasts looking better than before. I hope you might

reconsider her.

She is the most professional Dr I have met. I would discuss the fact

with her before making my final decision. If your symptomatic the

capsule should not be left behind if possible.

Good luck and best wishes

I just wanted to point out that while your symptoms may seem to be

very mild to you now, they will indeed progress if you don't get

explanted. I really don't know of anyone who hasn't experienced a

progression of symptoms once they start getting them. So I would

count it a positive that you have noticed so quickly that these

symptoms might be related to your implants.

Now if only it was easier to decide who to go to! That is a tough

one! I really think it is very important to trust and have

confidence in your doctor. Because they can say anything--what they

do might be different. Certainly if you decide to use your doctor,

I would make it very very clear that you want the entire capsule

out. Also I would find out if he uses drains, which I feel is

important. I think there is less chance of complications. Good

luck to you as you make this decision.

I have to butt in too! I get really upset when I read that a PS is

telling a patient they may have to leave some capsule in, esp. if the

pt. is symptomatic. Not to promote one dr over another, but just to

let you know other opinions: Dr. Kolb takes her time & tediously

removes all of the capsule in her sick patients because she thinks it's

of the utmost impotance to get it all out for the patient to fully

recover. I just want you to have the best chance to get well...just be

sure and get a couple of PS opinions before deciding on one! Best

wishes on your pursuit to get well.

Cheryl I have to agree 100% with what your saying here I also believe

that my Dr would never leave any kind of capsule that was in a woman

with symptoms that would be a travesty. It is just not acceptable. But

then again I also don't agree with any PS that would put implants in a

woman that has symptoms either. It just seems unethical to me.

It is sad that some PS's make excuses rather than just take the

capsule out. That is another reason I don't like recomending any other

PS than the one I went to. I don't want to find out later that he or

she doesn't take all the capsule out. We had that happen recently and

it was pretty upsetting to hear that.

Take care
