another choosing a doctor question

[Guest guest]

I mentioned that I've contacted some PSs for explant help and overall

advice. I've contacted only surgeons (so far) recommended here or at

the 'explant issues' Delphi Forum. I've only heard that I should

continue to breastfeed, wait until I'm no longer a lactating woman.

Also, my idea of a trans axillary explant was not a good one. I can

have the incision made at the crease of the breast, though, so I'm

considering that, too, hoping to preserve the milk ducts and nerves.

Just like with my first surgery.

I contacted Dr. peter chapman after ''s recommendation here (I

think you posted this, Patty) and while he says he can certainly do

the explant (once breastfeeding is done), he also says that any

discussion of 'silicone disease' (he put it in quotations)

is 'outside of his area of expertise'.

Do you all think it's best to have the explant done by a PS who gets

it, for lack of a better phrase, or to find the best explant PS

possible for capsule removal and preservation of the breast and

*then* go on your own and do the Silicone Protocol, take Fungal

Defense, etc.?

Thanks once again,
