Guest guest Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Hi, I got my first consult with a surgeon today. I told him about my symptoms (numbness in the hands, electric sensations), but he said that it could not be related to my implants. He suggested me to go see a doctor in neurology. I told him that I was thinking of getting my implants out if nothing was back to normal after a while and asked if he's peforming the " en bloc " procedure. He told me that I didn't need " en bloc " because I don't have a hard capsule around my implants. He told me that the cicatricial capsule will resolve in my body and that nothing is dangerous about that. The procedure he suggested is a local anesthesia and that he would only do a cut under my breasts to get my implants out. I am kind of confused now. I thought the " en bloc " procedure was the best thing to do no matter what. It seemd that this doctor only uses this procedure in rare occasions. I would like to have your opinion about this. Thanks, Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
