Guest guest Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 How do you get people interested enough to listen and possibly try something different? That's my problem too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Hi, I am new to this, not new to feeling like crap...but new to the site. I've been having symptoms for about two years now and have just started researching the implant connection. This week I will begin my journey of contacting doctors for testing and exploring the option of removal. My question is, does anyone out there have no natural breast tissue (like me)...I had a defect causing my breasts to never develop and am scared of what I will be left with after explant. I know my health is most important, but are there any new options for reconstruction when there's nothing there to work with?! Scared but optimistic....

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Casey, Many of us have had mastectomies, and we use a prosthesis. It is far safer than any possible alternatives. Be sure to check out doctors on our list before explanting, as most docs don't remove implants properly.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Casey, Welcome to ! It really is a bummer . . . But, most women (and their mates), come to the conclusion that health is all that matters. Maybe one day there will be a safe implant . . . but it hasn't happened yet. I look for tissue engineering to provide the answers one day. Then they will be able to grow breast tissue from one's own tissues or stem cells. The important thing now is finding a surgeon who understands why you want your implants removed properly, and is willing to do the job right the first time. We have a list of recommended surgeons you may find helpful. Hugs, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
