Re: Has anyone had Post Explant pain/commplications???

[Guest guest]

,

The things that come to mind are infection (should be

controlled by your antibiotic) and fluid accumulation.

Are you still wearing a snug sports bra 24/7?

The remaining capsule could be a problem. Do you have

any idea how much was left? Have you called Dr.

Melmed?

I'd suggest drinking plenty of non-chlorinated water,

wearing a snug sports bra, and, if it's not better

soon, seeing the doctor. One of your local doctors

could probably do whatever is necessary to check you

out - maybe unltrasound? or different antibiotic.

We have a lot of detox programs suggested in the

archives. . . It's not to soon to start detoxing.

,

I remember my doctor saying that sometimes something called a seroma

could occur, which I think is fluid buildup. I wonder if that could

be the problem? I wonder if one of the doctors you visited could

order an ultrasound for you to see what's going on, or if you

require an in-state doctor for that. I'm sorry you're experiencing

pain, and I hope it's something that's easily resolved.

Dear ,

IT is hard to say what is causing your pain and burning and

discomfort, but I am concerned that the scar tissue is left inside

your body. It can still be causing some immune responses, and

actually changing as the body tries to cope with its presence.

I think an ultrasound of your breast would be a good idea if this

does not resolve. I hate to mention it, but you may have to

consider another surgery to remove any scar tissue that may be

evolving into something else on its own.

Dr. Huang in Denver performed this second surgery for a friend

of mine. She also had some of her scar tissue left upon explant,

and one year later was still sick and in pain. Dr. Huang opened her

up and found the remaining scar tissue, removed it, and performed

some kind of internal lift on her to make her look even better. She

was very happy with the results. By the way, this friend had had

silicone gel implants and got sick before deciding to try the

salines. She had gotten her health back after removing the gels, but

missed her implants so she got the salines because they

were " safe. " She was sick right away again. Got those out, but had

the scar tissue left. Stayed sick, and so she underwent this one

final surgery to remove all scar tissue. She has healed completely,

went on to graduate from college with honors and get into a career.

There are just some things we learn hard ways.

I know Dr. Melmed is good, but if there is one thing I wish he did

better, it would be getting all that scar tissue out. I urge you to

contact him and let him know what is going on.
