Re: Thinking about Implants

I had a lift, and I am not smaller at all.

The lift should not take out any breast tissue, but only tighten up the loose skin surrounding the breast tissue. That means that, volume-wise, you should be the same, but that is just looks better!

I had the anchor lift, but I think these days they use a method that produces little scarring. Do you know what kind of lift you are being considered for?

There is the anchor lift, and then there is the lollipop lift, and also the donut.

I am so proud of you for realizing that implants are not necessary. Truthfully, I think that most of us who got breast implants after breastfeeding really only needed a lift.

I wish that is what I had done!

Keep us posted on your decision...you are saving yourself from much misery and additional surgery by going with the lift and foregoing implants!

> , Lea, Patty, , Glory2Glory and others, THANK YOU so much for listening and responding to my email! You made me feel so welcome! I have read alot more of your stories and will be doing more research. Thanks so much for the other two links which I WILL be checking out today. You know, my whole reason for the surgery was not the implants to begin with. It was the lift. I feel so self conscious about the way I look. After breast feeding, one of my breasts became much larger and is much lower than the other one and even the nipple is much larger than the other. I can't bare for my husband to see me and this year when I put a one piece bathing suit on with no wire, it was a horrible experience. You could see right through that one was much lower than the other one. I just wanted to cry! I have been wanting this forever and even had an appointment scheduled last year on July 3rd for the implants but had to cancel due to moving out of state. Ironic uh? An yway, it has bothered me for sometime now. I think about it all the time! So when I went it to get the consultations (2), I decided why not, get a little more to be a full C or a small D at the same time? Now after finding you guys, I thinking about just the lift again. The only problem with that is the lift will probably make me smaller. Is there anyone of you that has had a lift? Did you get smaller? Thanks!!

Thanks for your feedback, Patty!I was never diagnosed with ANYTHING! (Although good, it was part of my frustration)!  All of my tests came back normal, except for my MSH and a few others.  I have been feeling a little better lately, but the detox that I'm on now is kicking my booty, making me very tired and weak!

I've been cutting out anything refined and processed, and I'm taking a Pekana Homeopathic Detox/Drainage kit (Liver,Kidney, Lymphatic).  I'm even taking the dosage for a BABY!  Pathetic, I know.I really want to switch back to organic foods and hormone free meats, but I don't have access to that here in Kuwait.  It's very frustrating.

Having breast fed all of my children for at least 2 years, I can say from experience that you should try to breast feed your children for as long as you can feasibly do it --meaning that the babies are gaining weight and are healthy with your production of milk. Your doctor will be able to tell you if they are gaining enough weight, and of course, they will not be acting like they are hungry all the time.

The longer you can breast feed your baby, the better it is for them. That colostrum production is vital for their immunity and development. So, even one month of breastfeeding is great if that is all you can do.

I don't think you have anything to worry about with your implants being gone. The only thing I would worry about is the quality and quantity of the milk production, but again, the longer you can breastfeed, the better it is. Once you start supplementing with bottled milk and solid foods, the quantity of your milk will go down, because the baby isn't taking as much.

I am so happy for you that you've been able to become a mommy!!!

I hope that you will still see a resolution of your illness, and I believe that with a focus on diet, you can. Did you get diagnosed with lupus ?

Re: Thinking about Implants

Hey Dede,

I did lose some sensation in one of my breasts, but it was not from the lift. It was from the implants. I believe that a nerve or nerves were damaged when the implants were inserted, as there was a quadrant of my right lower breast that was numb after implants, and the feeling never returned there.

I also have reduced sensation in my nipples, but I am not certain when that started, but I'm pretty sure it was from implantation also. After explant, some sensation gradually returned to my nipples, so it seems OK now, but I think it is much less than before I was ever damaged by surgery.

It all depends on the skill of the surgeon!!!!

I NOW HAVE CONNECTIVE TISSUE DISEASE, ITP, MY HAIR FELL OUT IN CLUMPS... AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE IS NOT FUN AND YOU DON'T CARE ONE BIT ABOUT YOUR BOOBS WHILE YOU ARE SICK. IN FACT, THINKING ABOUT GETTING BOOBS IS SICK. DO NOT GET THEM. IT'S ALL ABOUT MONEY. THEY WANT YOUR MONEY. TAKE THAT MONEY AND BUY EXPENSIVE SHOES. GET YOUR HAIR DONE. BUY A FRIGGIN CAR. THE MONEY YOU WILL SPEND ON DOCTORS, SHRINKS, MEDICINE, AND THE ULTIMATE REMOVAL AND LIFT WILL FAR OUTWEIGH ANY BENEFIT... BY THE WAY... WHAT WAS THE BENEFIT AGAIN???? DO. NOT. DO.

Hi: I had my saline implants for 9 years, and had part of the capsule removed. The piece that is attached to the chest wall was left in as my implants were under the muscle, and removal of that piece of capsule could have led to hematoma, and possible hemorrhage. The doctor removed a piece so that the capsule would not fill up again with foreign material, etc. after my explant. I discussed this with Dr. Blais, and he said that enough of the capsule was removed that the little bit left in will be of no consequence. With saline implants the capsule isn't as thick. I think mine was 1 milimeter thick, if that. The piece left in is barely enough to put on a microscope slide. I hope this helps you.

Patty, Did you have all of your scar capsule removed when you explanted? I am trying to decide which route to take for explant. Dr. Kolb told me to have the scar capsule removed but Dr. Melmed in Texas (who only performs explants) told me not to since mine are saline and I've had them for less than 5 years. I'm confused about what I need to do.> > > From: tinakkelman <tinakkelman@...>> Subject: Thinking about Implants> > Date: Thursday, June 3, 2010, 7:40 AM> > > > Good Morning!> > Or I thought it was!
