Is there anyone out there that has had saline implants removed without having the scar capsule removed? If so I would LOVE to talk to you!

Hi Can you tell me what saline under the muscle means. I am going to start my reconstruction soon and trying to learn all these terms.

Thanks

Robyn

Hi Robyn,

You can get implants placed on top of the pectoral muscle, or under the muscle.

Usually it's called " submuscular " when you get them placed under the muscle.

Placing them under the muscle is a little more painful than if they are placed

over the muscle, in terms of recovery. In fact, when I got my implants placed

under the muscle, I will never forget how painful that recovery was! I could

not get out of bed myself, but had to have my husband raise me up.

hi robyn... saline under the muscle means I had implants, saline, inserted under the muscle instead of on top of the muscle. some women choose to implant under the muscle for a more natural look, I guess. reconstruction? did you have a mastectomy? whether this is reconstructive or cosmetic, please be careful. honestly, if I have one or both of my breasts removed I would just tattoo over the scar and call it good. with all of the information about the adverse effects of implants, AND having had cancer, I don't think implanting would be wise. I know there is the whole 'uneven' aspect, and society's dictates of what a woman should look like/be. but the reality is that breast cancer happens, and having to have a breast removed is a part of it. love sees beyond the physical. and there are men out there that can see past big rubber boobs. robyn, I wish you the best in whatever you decide. I wish I could sit you down and talk to you for an hour or so. be careful. there is beauty in being different. there is beauty in embracing the wound. there is beauty is becoming a whole person... inclusive of life's badges of courage. wear your badge proudly. my concern is that you do something out of an inability to accept, or a fear of losing femininity, or to try to achieve that which is unattainable and not even necessary... give yourself time. and remember, they want your money. it's all about money. doctors don't always tell the truth. with all of the women (millions...) that are sick due to implants, they STILL cannot fess up. shame. it sickens me to think of all of the women who undergo mastectomy only to be told they need an IMPLANT to be better. sick. SICK SICK SICK. YOU ARE A WOMAN. A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN. WITH ONE BREAST, NO BREASTS, BREASTS DO NOT DEFINE YOUR FEMININITY OR WORTH. love and respect your body. embrace it, and life's hand. I wish for you peace, and the wisdom to know what is best for you, not what somebody ELSE says. including me. I can be strong, but it is out of love. my best to you, robyn. -L
