Now ladies........does that look like the "new" cohesive gel breast implant cut in half pictured in the plastic surgeons advertisement material? The truth is......the silicone gel material goes through many changes once inside the warm human body and yes, extracapsular rupture (gel found outside the capsule) is possible and it is stated in the cohesive silicone gel breast implant manual.

Please note.....this plastic surgeon is not removing these cohesive silicone gels by en bloc method. This video is eye opening to say the least.]]>

Hi my name is Andrea and I have been sick since I have had my implants in 2004. I have finally figured out they were my implants making me sick. I was also lucky to find a wellness center with doctors that admitted it was the implants and have been very supportive.


I have my explant scheduled with Dr. Ahn in New York City on May 22. I am so nervous. I have 3 options. 1. Explant with total capsulectomy and muscle repair if needed 2. The above plus a lift and 3. 1 and 2 with fat graph. I decided against the fat graph for a few reasons money being one of them. Now for the lift. This is where I need advice. I really wanted this bc I had tuberous breasts prior to the implants but with the implants and gaining weight with baby I have filled out and they look great. They filled out at the bottom. I wanted the dr to do the lift and make my aereolas smaller. I also sagged a bit with my pregnancy.

Do you think it's a waste to have the lift done if I plan on having another baby? I'm just so scared about what they will look like. I had small bs prior and went very conservative I think 230 on each side. I now have a c cup.

If you need anymore info let me know. I just wanted some advice from you ladies.

So glad I found this forum. I don't feel crazy anymore! ]]>

I feel like I'm going crazy.
I'm also a mom of 3 boys. I've schedule my explant and its 4 weeks away but I feel bad costing my family this money when I'm not sure it will even help or is the definite cause. I think its the right thing but its hard to go against the grain of Standard Medicine and I'm grieving the change it will be for me to go back to flat, lopsided empty tube socks, as I call them. I can't afford fat grafting.

Driving is a little tough turning the wheel, doing stufff at home is ok, thanks to my 10 yr old son who can reach up high. :)

I am praying for the brain fog and other symptoms to fade soon. If you can give any advice....appreciated! :) thank you to all you amazing women who told your story on here! I was searching for a plastic surgeon to redo the implants in April because they were 12 yrs old and found this site and hopefully they were the reason for my symptoms.]]> I actually just took tylenol all weekend for my backache and was off pain pills same day as surgery...I would recommend taking something before going back to get drains out, as they pull them out and its a little uncomfortable for the plastic to rub against the skin coming out although it just lasts a few seconds.

I thought that I would give them a few years to settle in, but I still haven't learned to accept them and am afraid of meeting a guy I really like only to find out he doesn't like the unnatural look (the type of guy I'm attracted to would probably not be okay with it).

Over 3 years later, I'm now considering a few options, either to have them completely removed or to have smaller lower profile (either moderate or low profile) implants put in. If I were to have them completely removed, will my breasts look the same as before surgery (but for the scars) or will they be saggier, stretched out and lumpy? Other than removing the implants, do Drs typically perform other internal procedures to minimize the sagginess (for example, I read that some Drs reconstruct them internally, whatever that means).

If I decide to have smaller lower profile implants put in, will they look completely natural, even when I'm lying down, so that unless I were to tell someone, they wouldn't know they were fake? Who are some good Drs. for removing/replacing implants (for a natural result) and approx. how much does it cost? Are there any other options I haven't considered (I'm surprised that in 2012 there are still no other viable options than hard unnatural looking breasts..)

Many thanks!

I've been reading some of the posts and trying to get an idea about what will happen the day of surgery and in the following weeks after. I'm really excited and haven't worried about what I will look like after surgery because I know that anything is better than having these things inside me. When I awoke from having my BA and for weeks (maybe months) afterward I had a lot of swelling in the top part of my chest until the implants settled in. Now after reading some of the posts I'm wondering if I will have that same swelling in the top (above my normal breast)...they were so high and I hated that! Will I have that again to deal with the first few weeks? It will not sway my decision if I do...just wondering. I think that was the worst part of my initial healing. I also saw someone posted that their chest felt heavy afterward...that is my main complaint now is the heaviness in my chest. It's hard to breathe, especially after excercise and I can't sleep on my back anymore or my stomach or my side comfortably. Well....I guess I can't sleep much at all. I'm sooooo ready to get these things out. I won't complain much if I have to deal with that swelling again for a few short weeks...just want to know what to expect. I do plan to ask my PS, but my consultation is not until the 15th. Thanks for any insight on this. ]]>

I had my implants placed in 1998 by a great PS in Maui, Hawaii. I am in the military, and while they will perform this type of surgery I was not willing to let them, WAY too scary. However, since then I have grown older and chunkier and they had gotten way too big to be comfortable while running and exercising and were causing back pain so I had them removed two days ago. I did not go to a PS this time since I am now in rural MO and instead had a military surgeon do it. While it seems that she did a great job, I have no pain and the scars aren't going to be horrible, she did not wrap me in any way and I had to ask for a surgical bra. Is there something I should be doing other than wearing a tight fitting sports bra and taking it easy? I will be going back to work in two more days and have been cleared to resume normal activity after two weeks. Without have a lift is this ok or should I ask for something more? I have a follow-up in a week...

Any advice given would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks for your time!]]>
