Re: Newbie here with questions..saline implant deflated, out of country, and worried

[Guest guest]

Hi,

You should be able to wait on this, unless you are experiencing severe health

concerns that are unusual. I would make an appointment to see a plastic surgeon

as soon as you get home.

I had my implants taken out that had been under the muscle, and I had a breast

lift at the same time. Do you have children, or more to the point, were your

breasts saggy after childbearing? If they were saggy when you were implanted,

they will be saggy afterward without a lift. But if you have gained weight, and

therefore breast tissue, you may not need a lift. It will all be up to the

recommendations of the surgeon.

I'm sorry to hear that you've had health problems that are consistent with what

we've discussed on our forum. If you've quit work because of those health

problems, that sounds like a significant disability. It sounds to me like you

need those things removed, not only because of the leak, but to begin to regain

your health.

We have a number of Florida surgeons on our list.

I will send them.

You can call around and get an appointment set up. I'll include Dr. Kolb in

Atlanta, just because she is so good.

Wishing you the best of health,

Patty

I am thankful each day that I found a plastic surgeon who recognized the dangers

of silicone and saline implants. She has stopped all implantations, except when

she can give each patient the entire story and list ALL of the potential risk

factors and the

patient requests them anyway due to extreme conditions such as mastectomy.

She prefers mastopexy to implant for healthy women and openly discusses her

reasoning.......she cares about the health ofher patients: by :

Patty,

I would like to go to a good surgeon...from what I have read, I need an En Bloc

Atlanta..( Atlanta is closer)

Thanks for your help..

Hi Kia,

I responded to your letter, but I did not see any replies from anyone else....

Here is my letter to you. How are you doing?

Hi Kia,

I am sorry to hear that you are suffering in this way. I have heard of numerous

women having this kind of pain after explant, and I am thinking that it is

unfortunately related to neuropathy, or damage to the nerves. I cannot be

certain, but from what I have heard from women who write me privately, the pain

is something that is very hard to get rid of.

I do know of one woman who successfully overcame the pain completely. She worked

at it....her name is ez, or Heer in our archives. She is

living well and at one time she used to be on narcotic pain meds.

I believe that keeping everything moving in your body is necessary for

healing...which means exercise, lymphatic massage, rebounding, massages, jumping

rope, stretching, yoga, pilates, hot-cold therapy, and the like.

Coffee enemas are also reported by many to relieve pain. Coffee enemas have

been a part of my life for almost a decade now...and will most likely be part of

my life until I die. I don't have, nor did I ever have, the level of pain that

many of the ladies discuss here, but with the lifestyle I have now, I don't ever

plan to.

I hope this offers so hope....I do know that the pain can be very bad, and I

sympathize with you. I am asking girls that have resolved it to let us know

how. I will report anything that is promising!

In the meantime, support your body through detoxing and proper nutrition in the

best way that you can.

Hugs,

Patty

Acupuncture has helped many deal with neuropathy and nerve damage.

You would know after just one or two sessions.

Patty:

Thank you for the advice and information you sent! It's like being in a maze and not able to find your way out as I deal with this pain on a daily basis, now going on 13 years without a break except when I went on narcotics. The gal you mentioned, ez, is there an e-mail adress I can contact her? Thank you very much for your help. If there is anyone else you know who deals with extreme pain pls. help me contact them. I've been pretty much housebound for a very LONG time. The only relief I get is to lay down. I have no life. Again, thank you for your help.
