Re: Having implants removed MAUREEN

Don't have a capsulartomy..I did and it won't help your pain...not at all ! I had a capsulartomy Jan 06 and had an explant Sept 06...I to was achey all the time and now without the implants I am getting better and better and its only been 5 weeks. Also having a capsulatomy then an explant...you lose breast tissue...twice....so don't.My right breast is smaller cause I did that...and by the way...my breast look great ! I had a lift I'm still a 34 C and my 29 year old daughter say they look more fake now than they did before...which is a compliment.

How do your breasts compare to pre-implant? My PS said they will

probaly look the same but possibly more saggy. He did suggest a lift -

will that help a ton? How long was your down time after surgery?

And, how long did you have drains in for? What can I expect post op?

I'm so undecided on what to do..........I can't seem to keep a clear

mind about all this information. Thank you for your advice.

Maureen,

I look almost exactly like I looked before implants, too. I didn't

need a lift. I had my drains in for 5 days. I wasn't in a great

deal of pain after explant, but I was quite fatigued. I missed one

week of school (I was out of work at the time and going to school

full-time), and two weeks after surgery I hosted Thanksgiving for

about 14 people. My symptoms didn't disappear over night, and

almost a year post-explant I'm feeling much better, but it's going

to take time because my immune system was weak to begin with.
