Re: En Bloc explant surgery - time frame?

[Guest guest]

From what I remember it was a couple of hours depending upon the individual.

I think it was 2-4 hours.

Keli,

You're right, it does vary from pt to pt. My personal explant time was 90 " .

Done en bloc by Dr. Huang.

Mine took 2 hr & 45 min. Supposedly done en bloc...I have a doctor that

won't exactly go over details. I'll see him again tomorrow & I'll ask

again...

My explant and lift took 5 hours. I think my surgery was on the long

side, I have heard anywhere from 1 1/2 to 6 hours though.

Good luck and let us know what you decide to do. We are all here for

ya.
