Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Does anyone know if having an explant procedure can affect any nerve damage that may have been caused by the original procedure. Basically i went to see a local doctor before i scheduled my explant with Dr Feng. I explained how i was having pain and occasional numbness in my right breast and he thought there may have been some nerve damage done when i had the implants put in. He refused to do en bloc because he was afraid that if he did it would expose nerves or make the sitaution worse, Obviously i chose not to go with him but is this a possibilty that having an explant could actually make it worse? I realize i have to talk to Dr, Feng about this but has anyone ever heard of that before? Im not sure if he was really convcerned about that or just didnt want to do the procedure? He is supposedly one of the top doctors in my area for plastic reconstructive surgery and has done many en bloc for cancer patients and he did believe that i had issues causing my symptomns but he belived it was more inflamation and nerve damage causing my symtoms rather then the implant itself.
