Guest guest Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Thanks for the advice Rogene! I am definitely not planning a baby anytime soon, but I am planning an explant!

The offspring of implanted women have been experiencing a wide range of health problems from rashes, digestive disorders, bone/joint pain to deformaties. . . . I started a support group for the families of silicone affected offspring . . group's SiliconeKids. Be sure to allow some detox time before getting pregnant. One of our ladies had been very sick, but after explant and detox had a very healthy baby! It was certainly worth the effort! Hugs and prayers, Rogene The best gets better.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Patty, This is great... Don't want to make anymore uninformed decisions! I will make sure to ask the appropriate questions once I start the consultation process, and fill everyone in on my findings:) Katy Tricia Trish <glory2glory1401@...> wrote: Katy, If your milk ducts have not been cut, you may be able to breast feed. That is certainly more likely if you have not had a lift. However, if you have not had a lift yet, you can discuss this with your explanting surgeon so he/she knows your wishes. It may be possible to perform a lift with a technique that keeps your ability to breast feed intact, by not cutting through the milk ducts or moving the nipple. I believe that one of our former members had a lift like this done by Dr. Kolb. However, it may not be possible...it's just up to your doctor, the shape of your breasts, the extent of your sagginess, and other factors. On the positive side, you may not have to have a lift at all! You are young enough yet that you may have great elasticity with your skin and may find that your breasts go back to their former shape fairly readily. That is something you can decide upon after consultation, but it is certainly worth the effort to pursue explant without lift if your goal is breastfeeding. Patty Breastfeeding after explant + lift So far in my research I have not found much information about the ability to breastfeed after explant and a lift. I am hoping to get these implants out in the not too distant future and imagine I will have a lift, as I have had my implants for nearly 10 years! I am 28 now and hope to have children one day and wonder about the possibility of being able to breastfeed after all is said and done. Do any of you ladies have some information or experience regarding this? Thanks! Katy All new - Get a sneak peak at messages with a handy reading pane.
