Guest guest Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 I am having no luck finding a surgeon who can see me soon (the soonest one can see me is Sept), so I am forced to see one where I live and hope for the best. My question is have any ladies here had bilateral mastectomies, followed with implants? Do you still have them or have you had explant? I have been told by several surgeons that once you have implants after a mastectomy, that having an explant is out of the question due to the amount of stretching to the pec muscles and that the amount of pain in the chest area would be unbearable. Is this true? I want to be armed with as much information as possible when I go to the surgeon Monday. Any advice or help anyone could give would be appreciated. I know if the implants are replaced, I will never be free of the fibromyalgia, brain fog, TMJ, etc. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
