Guest guest Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 I know I'm new and I will probably repeat what has been asked many times so let me know if I should not ask repeat questions! I read through all the links here, stories, and viewed all the photos. I also visited explantation.com and read all those stories and links. I saw Kaci's (MTV) story where it sounds like she had no breastlift after her implants came out at two years post op. And Kari, the actress, who had her implants for thirteen years before explant, didn't have a breastlift either. If I have an explant and do not want a breastlift at that time b/c I want to have every chance of breastfeeding another baby, is that do able? Is the wrinkling so significant most times that a baby couldn't latch onto that nipple? In Kari's story, her PS made an incision of half moon size at her aurole, same exact spot her implants were inserted and then pulled the implant out. I am assuming this means she didn't have an en bloc explant. He also 'wrung' out her breasts so that blood and pus came out of the drain hole at the armpit. Is that a common way to remove the implants? I am leaning toward this (I have read all the pros for en bloc) b/c again, I want to preserve as much breast tissue and nerve connections as possible for future babies. I found one link to a UK PS at explantation.com and of course, many US surgeons. Since I won't be back in the States for at least another two years, if anyone has good links for the UK PS who 'get it', I'd be very grateful. If I get pregnant again and have a rupture at that time, what happens? Can't have GA when pregnant and if I'm not pregnant but breastfeeding a baby, can't have surgery either so what do women do then? I cannot imagine a baby latching on when one has sutures. Thanks again for this space. I'm reeling mentally and feel very sick to my stomach. Bad mistake I made for sure. stephanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
