I've never heard of that! Although I don't imagine it would be

anymore " handling " than through the bottom of the nipple.

I have never heard of that, sounds awful! I went to three consults for BA

and not one of the surgeons mentioned this method.

You might check out the American Board of Plastic Surgeon's website, or even

call and see if this method is used. I wouldn't tell them you've already

had it done.

Oh my, now I have never heard of that technique before! Yikes. Sounds

painful, not to mention totally screwing up your ability to ever

breast feed. Did you discuss this method with the doctor before the

surgery?

I don't know if this procedure is being used now because mine were put in about 20 years ago. At that time, I had several consults and some of the PS's were using the nipple incision. They said it was their preferred method because there was minimal scarring and according to them, it was even easier to open the pocket for the implant.

Makes me wonder even more because if it were a good method 20 years ago then I am sure it would be the preferred method today due to the fact that I truly do not have any detectable scars.Funny thing is two of my friends at the time had implants put in with the same Dr just prior to me.Neither of them had them put in the way he did mine.A friend went after me and also was not given the option of this type of implant insertion.

Right through the nipple, Lynda? As in literally, right through the

part that sticks out? I have never heard of this before....through

the aerola, yes, but not through the nipple itself. So how many

other women do you know who have had this done?

No, around the areola, but never through it. I never heard of that. That

sounds a little weird.

Did they cut into the nipple or around it? Her nipple was actually sliced

into.

Before you talk to an attorney, you might want to gather more information

yourself....

Unless an attorney has dealt with your situation, she is unlikely to know

whether or not

you might have a case. Malpractice cases are not easy to litigate. So an

attorney may be

more willing to talk to you if you can provide her with some preliminary

information.

If it were I, I would probably talk to one of the plastic surgeons who does

explants - that

we know. Most doctors are loathe to give any info, especially if they think it

might be

used for litigation. Thus, I'd be very careful whom I asked. For example, I

would ask Dr.

Kolb - I suspect she would give you a straight answer. I'd ask her (1) if

insertion through

the nipple is a procedure an 'average' plastic surgeon would likely do. If

not why not? (2)

what are the medical ramifications of such an insertion? The bottom line is you

need to

consider whether or not you have been injured in some way (and this may include

aesthetics, compromising your ability to breast feed etc), and if that injury is

a result of

medical treatment that fell below the standard of care 'due' you. Chances are,

only

another plastic surgeon skilled in BI would know that information.

After you find out the answer to those two questions from a PS, then I would

look for an

attorney who has handled implant cases -- a personal injury attorney, like

Sheryl

Berkowitz here in Florida, for example. (I don't know where you are located).

I would

explain the situation, and ask her to refer you to a malpractice attorney in

your state.

That is the direction I would take, anyway. Of course, you could just locate a

med mal

attorney on your own....but I would probably try to get some referrals.

So that is my 2 cents. ;-)

Kenda,

I really doubt the board of PS would tell her anything,.

Those boards are generally not interesting in providing the public with

information.

And most medical associations are only lobbyists for doctors!

I would ask a PS I know and trust. She would be more likely to give a straight

scoop.

Wow - that sounds a little nutty.... right thru the nipple? My original operation was thru the armpits - big mistake - then I had two subsequent sureries due to complications where they went thru the bottom of my areola/nipple then my final at explant was underneath the reast in the crease. Sheeesh - I have had all the scars.... sad but true

Oh, the thought of that gives me chills up my spine. I just don't

see why he would do that. did you retain sensation in your

nipples? I hope so.

I am sorry to hear that. After my implant, I lost some sensation

also. My breasts have never had the same sensitivity as they once

had. Though they get hypersensitive and sore from hormone changes,

there is very little if any sexual sensitivity anymore.

I just wanted to let you both know that I lost complete sensation of

my nipples when I originally had my implants put in. Good news....i

can feel that they are slowly coming back after explant. We were out

tailgating yesterday at the OSU game and it was chilly out. I was

all excited because I could actually feel when they got hard!

Hopefully you guys will have the same luck as me....I have no idea

how that is possible but I swear that my feeling is back after 8

years of numbness!

Jenna, I have no sensation right now either. Dr. Feng said it was

possible that would come back after explant because the skin

stretching with the implants could be why I have no feeling. Right

now I hate how my breasts feel when it's cold outside - because the

muscle distortion pulls them to either side and I feel like such a

freak.

I had the same experience Jenna. I had my nipples peirced after

being implanted for 6 years and having no sensation. With the

piercing I regained some feeling, but then had to remove them once I

was pregnant. Now after explant I am feeling them come back,

sometimes it's painful, but at least it is feeling!!

It is amazing how much warmer I feel as well. Those implants felt

like 2 cold rocks on my chest. It still just amazes me how she could

basically cut all the way around my nipple, take out an implant, do

a lift, then make my nipples smaller...and now I have feeling again.

was right though sometimes it feels uncomfortable, in the

shower it hurts...I am sure they are just adjusting though!

That's great Jenna! My sensation bounces around a little and I

don't really understand it. MOst of the time it isn't there much,

and then sometimes (rarely) they are quite sensitive. Hard to

figure.

I wonder how many women would get implants if they

knew they might lose so much sensation? ... My doctor

never mentioned the possiblity this would happen!

I regained much of the sensation I had lost with

implants too! Amazing!
