Guest guest Posted May 19, 2006 Report Posted May 19, 2006 , I'd recommend a lift if you believe you will end up really saggy . . . I had one! I looked better after the explant and lift than I did before, or with implants. If only my doctor had recommended a lift to begin with, my life would have been soooooo much different! Personally, the only time I wouldn't recommend a lift when one is saggy, is if there is a rip-roaring infection going on. In that case, I think one needs to get the infection under controll before disturbing the tissues further.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2006 Report Posted May 19, 2006 I don't want to post his name because, knowing what I do now, I wouldn't recommend him. He did do a good job on me - but the last I saw, he was actively pushing breast implants! He was very angry when I blamed my health problems on my breast implants! To be sure he did a total capsulectomy, I called and asked if he did capsulectomies when he did explants. His office staff said " No " . . . But when I told them I had a suspicious mammogram and I needed to know if it might be the capsule, she pulled the records and said the capsule was completely removed. I had the report, and I thought that was what it said, but sometimes it's hard to understand medical lingo. Hugs, Rogene Quote
Guest guest Posted May 20, 2006 Report Posted May 20, 2006 Shari.....do you think that you needed a lift before the implants? ~ married to DH Mark, and sharing the lives of nine busy children. <3 <3 Re: Re: Breast Lift??? Hi there Not everyone needs a lift.... I am a prime example... went from AA to C cups.... breast fed for 9 months at about a D cup, then had my implants removed after 7 years. My doc also suggested that I did not need a lift and to wait... I am glad I did not spend the extra money as mine look pretty normal now. No need for a lift - Not to mention the fact that I had a total of 4 operations due to complications.... Not everybody's skin tone is the same. some need the lift - some do not. I would highly recommend the drains though as I did not have them and needless to say went through He** as a result... I kept getting fluid build up in the "pockets" under my muscles which needed to be drained manually in the office - no anesthesia.... just my opinion/experience. Anyways - good luck to you and God bless!!!! shari Quote
