HI Ilena,

I sent this one to your personal address

and did not get a response. I know you are busy so I will try

again. Below is a back and forth conversation between a Dr. and myself

asking really aobut my friend Betty with the 40 year old implants. I want

to respond but I want to do it with good knowledge. Like in the first

letter below from him to me. He said, "So you would have the

option of taking out the silicone implant and the capsule, IF THERE IS ONE, ………..

My question is

– Isn't there always a capsule. She had them put in mid 1960's. Or do you

think he is just trying to get out of taking it out so he can put back in a

saline implant. Right now and I am trying to talk her out of it is that

she is determined to put saline back in. Or maybe he is talking

about the capsule possibly being desinigrated? Is that possible?

She has had implants for 40 YEARS and does not think she can live without them.

I am praying for a miracle quickly before her surgery in January.

The Drs.( different PS she has seen for other opinions) keep telling her that

the implants have nothing to do with how sick she is. Please let me know about the

capsules. I am going to ask if I can be in the operating room when they

are removed and try to get the old implants. The Dr. is a really

nice guy. He does medical missions in other countries.

Thanks so much,

P. Lomax

Ms. Lomax,

Dr. Bicket normally leaves it up to the

patient. It is less expensive to not replace the implant at all and the

actual cost of a saline implant is less than the cost of a silicone

implant. So you would have the option of taking out the silicone implant and the capsule, if there is one, or

replacing the implants with silicone or saline. ( I highlighted)

Thanks,

Shelia

Hi,

Another question. What is Dr.

Bickett's attitude about not putting anything (salines) back

in? Is it less expensive to not put Salines back in after removing

silicone? (And never putting anything back?)

Hi,

Does Dr. Bickett remove silicone implants EN BLOC to make

sure everything is taken out and EVEN BEFORE putting salines back in

during the same surgery?

Thank you,
