Guest guest Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 Hi, I had mine removed in November because they made me ill, however one of the things I also hated about them was that when I used the muscles in any way, the distortion was very uncomfortable. I couldn't sleep comfortably with them because they were sore when I lay on my side, and I couldn't lay on my stomach. I don't know if the problem you are having will get any better or not, but I'm not surprised that the plastic surgeon just brushed you off. Most plastic surgeons are your best friends before the surgery, but as soon as you have a problem, they want nothing to do with you (especially if it'll cost them a nickel). On this site, most of us have had immune problems because of the implants, but we have also had women come here who haven't had immune problems but have had pain or discomfort and finally decided to just get them out. In the end, the decision is yours, but once I had mine removed I felt physically comfortable again and I do not miss them in the least bit. Sis > > Hi! Listen, I just had my BA 3 months ago.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 Dawn, We really can't tell you what to do . . . It all depends on how you feel about it! Most women find their way here after being sick for an exended time and not being able to find answers from their doctors. . . There's a lot of money in the breast implants business! . . . Did your doctor tell you how often you should replace your implants? . . . At least every ten years? Knowing what I know now, I would never get breast implants, regardless of deformity. . . But that's something you have to decide for yourself. If you have any questions about explant, or detoxing after explant, we'll be glad to help if possible. Hugs and prayers, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
