I need Nashville explant too!

July 26, 2009

Dawn,

I am brand spanking new to this board. I would like to remove my implants as

well.

I live in Murfreesboro and would like a recommendation for a good doc.

I have had chronic hives for 9-10 wks now and am on 5 different antihistamines

for them plus prednisone. I know it's my immune system freaking out and I

believe it's the implants.

Please let me know who you are considering using!

" medical " issue has about pushed me over the edge. I swear if I hear a doctor

say to me one more time that I LOOK healthy, I will scream. I am 34 and my body

is trying to compensate but eventually even that wont be enough. I can barely

get out of bed without my beta blocker medication. It is the only thing that is

giving me a little relief from my symptoms.

good B size before surgery so most of my natural breast tissue is on the top

portion of my implant. As far as size goes, I want to say it was around 275cc.

Of course that sounds close to a C but as I said, I had a decent amount of

tissue pre-op. So instead, I measure a 32D (I am 5'3'' and 115lbs and extremely

small framed). I am very self conscious about it and have a meltdowns

occasionally in my closet as I get ready for work. I only wanted to fill my

clothes out better and I feel as if I am just two breasts walking around now. I

told my surgeon that after the procedure and he assured me that NOBODY ever came

back and complained they were too big. Well, guess what, I AM! Honestly, I will

be happy with my Bs back. I have not had children so I am hoping that maybe my

original size and shape will return. I know an exam is necessary to know for

sure but at my age, should I get a lift too? Thoughts on that?

> Again, ALL of you are so amazing. Of course, if any of you know someone in

Nashville that you would recommend, that would be great. I have found the name

of two doctors who advertise explants along with their other services. Both

trained at Vanderbilt for their plastics fellowship.

I hate to hear that. Looks like I will probably be taking a trip to Atlanta. I

will let you know what I find out! I am calling tomorrow. The only thing that

keeps me going is knowing I can get these toxic boobs OUT!
