Saline implant replacement -

[Guest guest]

Hi group

This group has been so imformative in just the few days that I have been a member. THanks! :-)

I have a few questions... I had a Mentor saline implant to rupture last week and cant have surgery until the 29th. THis has been so devestating and it looks hideous! I am so concerned about all of the risks associated with this. I had no idea that I would ever have to have surgery again, and I am upset to find out that this will NOT be the last one. I called a couple of attorney's offices here in Houston, but they tell me they are not even handling any saline cases. Does anyone know why? Or does anyone know of an attorney that will talk about this? I dont have the money to just have them removed (which is what I would prefer to do) therefore I have to get them replaced through Mentor's policy. Then I have been informed that this will most likely occur again within 3-4 years. I am looking at wanting to just get them completely removed and reconstructed/lift, and get back to being natural again.

Also, Someone mentioned about the "en bloc" technique. I wasnt told anything about it but I do know that my Plastic surgeon removed the last ones (silicone) and took the capsule and everything. I had to wear chest tubes for 3 days and then had them removed. He told me that this time there would be no tubes, so I am wondering if I should be questioning this more?

Please let me know what any of ya'll think.......

Thanks
