Guest guest Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 You might want to check on the $900 part... that sounds EXTREMELY inexpensive, even if it's not including anesthesia. It seems most of the prices I've noticed women say on here have been $4,000-$12,000 for explant and capsulectomy and $5,000-$17,000 for explant and capsulectomy with lift. (Including anesthesia and facility fees.) Removing the capsules is necessary to get well... but the other gals can explain more so about why it's important to remove them. Some doctors may try to tell you they "dissolve" into your body, and that simply is not the case. The shell of Saline Implants (assuming you have Salines) are made of that same toxic silicone that was banned for causing illness. You need those capsules, that your body formed around them, removed to get all the traces of it out of your body. Again, there are other gals on here who are more educated on the subject who will probably chime in soon. Don't let anyone tell you implants can't cause fatigue -because there are a slew of us who were 100% healthy before getting implanted who can pinpoint the exact moment in our lives (when we were implanted) when we started getting sick with fatigue (to the extent of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) and much MUCH more. Fatigue can be just the beginning. Best of luck to you. You've came to the right place for information. The women on this message board are life savers -real angels on earth. You can find information amongst this board on explant, and also healing and detoxing afterwards. Brigite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 I would have as much of the capsule removed as possible...my surgeon said you can't always get 100% without causing problems but he did tell me he got all mine that it came off easy...I've been real sick so I know it's important. Also drains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Has anyone here had an explant with Dr Lee? I need this to stay completely confidential. Please do not use my name regarding Dr Lee.I used to work with Dr Lee and he is a great surgeon. I had my saline breast implants done by him underneath my muscle. He said it would be $900 to have an explant as an outpatient procedure. He did not recommend a capsulectomy because he said it could be dangerous, you could puncture a lung,etc. I was on the explant site and told her what Dr Lee had said and without my permission she called the office manager and misquoted me. I want to keep this a good situation between Dr Lee and myself, because he will probably be the surgeon I use if I do the explant. He says the implants are not the cause of my fatigue. I do have good days where I wonder if it could be something else and a lot of days I feel really crappy. I work at Optimum Health Institute and I do Colon Therapy. Most of the time I eat really good, even lots of wheatgrass! Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Dear Brigite, Thank you for your note...Dr Lee would just be giving me a local and taking out the inplants...I know it is an outpatient procedure. I don't know the cost for a capsulectomy. I am just reading about a capsulectomy and why it must be preformed. I will have to check back with Dr Lee about the additional cost. I am bummed because I thought I could afford the procedure pretty easily.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 It's not just the silicone shell that can cause problems, of course. The saline can be contaminated, and grow fungus and mold.... Too many plastic surgeons just deflate the saline implant and pull it out. That probably would be inexpensive. But what if the woman has contaminated saline? Then all that would go into her system! I agree with Brigite here. I have never heard of a proper explant costing only $900. Mine was around $13,000 and that was in 2004. Insurance paid part of mine, but it still cost several thousand dollars as I went 'out of network' in a PPO. I did have a lift as well as explant of ruptured double lumen implants. The saline in mine were, as Dr. Kolb said, 'long gone'. The silicone was outside my capsules, in my chest. I was pretty foggy then, but Lynda told me before my explant that having implants removed improperly can be worse than not having them removed at all. Now, I know exactly what she meant. > > You might want to check on the $900 part... that sounds EXTREMELY > inexpensive, even if it's not including anesthesia.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Any doctor who says it would be too dangerous and would possibly puncture a lung is describing their expertise, not the necessity of the right surgery.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 HI , Well, I am really disappointed to hear Dr. Gilbert Lee make such comments, knowing that we have sent women to him for explant, hoping that he will take good care of them. I am sure he is an excellent surgeon, and come recommended by Ilena Rosenthal, whom I trust completely. But this just shows us how important it is to check out ALL plastic surgeons in terms of their explant procedures, even if they are on our list. We just cannot be confident that they are going to understand all that we are dealing with. We just cannot afford to take chances with our health. Too bad they don't have to deal with the consequences of a poor explant. I wish they recognized that WE DO. That good day, bad day roller coaster ride is typical of our illnesses. Alot of women begin to question if it really is their implants. That doubt that creeps in can be so deceiving. But you have to ask a very important question.....Are the implants helping your body in attaining healing? The answer to that question has to be NO. Breast implants do not heal anything. They only harm. If a person is sick, the quest for health is usually undertaken and sometimes, at a very high cost when in desperation. The goal is not to get to the point of being desperate. That is a miserable and horrible place to be. If there is ANY chance at all that the breast implants are actually a hinderance to health, then the only common sense and logical thing to do is to get rid of them, so you can pursue healing to the fullest. I hope you can schedule explant! Patty <lindabirse@...> wrote: Has anyone here had an explant with Dr Lee? I need this to stay completely confidential.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Dear Patty, Thank you so much for your note...I am really confused as to whether to use Dr Lee or not...I know he is an awesome surgeon. I guess since he doesn't believe this is causing my symtoms I wonder if he will be extremely motivated to make sure all the capsulectomy is out and to try to do it en bloc. He says he will if possible. It will take all my savings to do this procedure and I want to get healthy again...I have spent thousands on accupuncture, cleanses, supplements, holistic retreats, juicing, etc. I am so discouraged... I do sometimes wonder if it is mental or ? This weekend I had a fever of 103 that was unusual for me....last weekend I had plans to go out and felt awful...Thank you for any help you can give me.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 , I know how you feel second guessing everything, I just had residual capsule removed and I almost talked myself into thinking it might not be necessary, but I kept coming back to the point I know I won't get better with that stuff in there, you are not crazy it is not all in your head. Sweet lady we have all felt this way because of the way we are handled by Dr.s. We know more about this than most of them do because we are consumed by it and finding out as muuch as we can. If Dr. Lee says he will get all that is possible he has to say that to protect himself in case their is a problem and he can't take the chance of harming you, it sounds like to me he will do a good job, you will have to trust at some point, I was so afraid I was having this latest surgery for a small piece of somthing that may or may not be keeping me sick, well when she came out and said it was a large piece and had blue nodules I knew I did the right thing, it is not fun and it makes me so mad we even have to figure all this out, but remember we are here for you. love and aloha, Terri P > > Has anyone here had an explant with Dr Lee?

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 I'm going to give him a call ... and go visit him again if possible. In the past, he certainly was well aware of the systemic problems from implants and did not deny it. He has told me he did everything possible to get out all of the loose silicone and removed all of the capsule. I can't imagine he has stopped doing this ... I'll let you know once I talk to him. I've been in his office scores of times with various women, and never had anyone not be happy with his work. I'll get back with you ...

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 Dear Ilena, Thank you for your note. I used to work with Dr. Lee and he is an excellent A+ surgeon. I want to use him and just want to clarify that I have a total capsulectomy and all the right methods. He does not believe I have any illness due to the fact that the saline implants have no hardening. He said because I have the saline implants under the muscle it can be much more difficult to remove the scar tissue. I would rather not have my name used in communication with his office.I already have someone from another site mis quote me and I had to straighten things out with him.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 , Just because you used to work with a doctor is no guarantee he will do it right, get it in writing.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 If you had saline, a total capsulectomy, if you had silicone or double lumen, it should be done en bloc.
