Guest guest Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 ---Hello Paccost. Good luck on your explant. It was easier than getting implanted, less pain, less healing time, ect. That was good advice that LM gave you. Make sure to tell you Dr. that you do not want to be saggy, and if you need a lift, to do so. (that is if you have the money?), Also, before you go, I would make sure to ask about the complete cost of everything! Example, make sure the operating room fees are included, post op care, bloodwork ect. This way, you will know the FULL amount you will be paying. Maybe get it in writing too! I made this mistake before explant. I was quoted one price over the phone, then when I got there, it was $1,500 more! (they conviently forgot to include the 'operating room fee' over the phone, after I called at least 4 times to make sure of the pricing ect. Also, when I got home I got some beefy bills waiting for me, even though I was told 'I was all squared up with my bills when I left the office'. I also needed post op. care afterward, which cost me an additional $125.00, which I was not told I needed, until I was walking out the door. I did NOT go to Dr. Feng for explant though. These are just some good tips to think about before you go for your operation. I hope someone else can learn from my experience. Get the cost of your FINAL bill beforehand.Also, I was as flat as a board after explant(I was a 34A before implants, and am a small girl), BUT the good news is, I fluffed out!!. It took me over 1 year to fluff, but I did. I wear a 34A again(I have been explanted 4 yrs), although I am not exactly the same as before. Also, I have improved ALOT scince explant via detoxing and natural methods. I was bedridden for 1 year and a half. I am self sufficeint now(except for work, but one day!). I thought I would never come this far healthwise, but I have. I was so sick and weak at one point, I could not even shave my legs! Today I went swimming,food shopped, and cleaned and have a boyfriend too! Hang in there! hugs and health to you TERRY In , Jane Doe <oceanlilly_csu@y...> wrote: > Make certain if you want a lift, that you INSIST upon it, you don't wan t to come out saggy and have to go back a second time and have more downtime, costs and firther risks.LM > > PACCOAST@a... wrote:More explant questions from you experience ladies..... > > When you first get out of the surgery, are you wrapped in a bandage of some kind? Does it make you look really flat??? I'm just wondering if it will be obvious to others......And, one time I read something someone had written about how you should always have your explant done in a hospital setting -- Dr. Feng does not do that -- and she is doing my explant. She's in a clinic, in her own setting. Is that o.k.?? Why should it be a hospital? Did most of you have yours done in a clinic or a hospital? > > Thanks for the info!
