Explant surgery - what to expect during and after

[Guest guest]

Thanks Mika . . .

It sounds like the placement of your implants was putting pressure on a critical nerve to begin with! . . . Your description of your pain after implant, discomfort with drains, and pain on removal isn't common. But as you've found out, it can happen. . I remember only one other women comment how painful removing the drains was. . . For me, it just felt like a quick, slight tug - then it was over. No pain at all. However, one might take a pain medication before going to have the tubes removed if they are concerned. . .

Regardless, life begins again! . . . You'll probably look even better as time goes by . . . maybe bigger than with implants! . . . The body has a way of adjusting after implants that can be surprising.

Please keep us posted on how you do. If you need any detox suggestions, this is the place!

Be sure to drink plenty water and eat well . . . no junk! Your body will thank you mightly.

Hugs and prayers,

Rogene

Mika ~

For scars, do not rub them for 8 weeks.

That is what was recommended to me

several times by PS's.

They need to be healed well before you

do that. You dont want to do it too hard

either. Firm, and in a circular motion, but

not hard.

Mederma is suposed to be good, but if you

normally heal well without scars being too

bad, then I wouldnt worry about scarring.

I have had so many chest surgeries and so

many areas of incisions, and they all look

great !

Hope this helps ~
