You should be okay. Did you have residual silicone that escaped from your implants?

Patty, this is a good blurb from the 2nd website , I read this last night too. I definately had a total capsulectomy, am I still in danger?

"In the case of implant removal with total capsulectomy, patients must be made aware that the potential exists for silicone to be retained in various tissue sites postoperatively. Implant removal and capsulectomy address the localized foreign material adjacent to the implant. Foreign- body granulomata elsewhere in the breast tissue, chest wall, and axilla, or regional lymph nodes that may bear deposits of silicone are not addressed with this operative approach."

Yes, I had silicone escape from the capsules. I had intra and extracapsular leakage, silicone implants. Sweet huh. Though he says they are fine and he took out everything he needed to. They do feel more painful than ever, I read someone saying the scar tissue is painful. I'm wondering if that's it too. But definately getting 2nd opinion. Keep helping, I do feel like I was one of the worst cases, though you know I'm recovering quit well. Love michelle~*Patty*~ <redeemed7@...> wrote:
