Guest guest Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 Neena, I hope you will feel alot happier once you realize that there are answers for you, and you won't have to live this way forever. I do think with ruptured implants and the symptoms you are describing, that you need to go to a very qualified surgeon who can remove the implants correctly, get out the loose silicone, do an en bloc removal, and make sure that you will look good when it is all over too. We can help point the way, and you will become very educated and strengthened as you go through this process. You'll see the light at the end of the tunnel! I hope you've been looking through our files and links sections, and can see how much evidence there is for your situation, that silicone is harmful, but that we can get better if we work hard at it and do what needs to be done. Just take it one step at a time. First comes knowing what is needed for a proper explant. Next comes finding the right doctor to do it. Then comes the surgery, and finally on to healing. Let us know how your consultations go...we will be here for you!
