Mindy --> Florida surgeons

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know how I can find a PS that understands that we want these things out along with any residue or scar tissue in South Florida. Any recomendations. Mindy

Hi Mindy,Our list has oodles of Florida based surgeons, so you can start with these. But I cannot vouch for them all knowing exactly how to do proper explant. You really do need to discuss it with them in detail, as we have heard that sometimes the docs on our list change their tune, so to speak. You just need to get clear commitment from them to do a total capsulectomy with drains, or en bloc removal. The list has not been updated in quite some time. We love docs like Dr. Feng, Dr. Kolb and Dr. Huang, because they are always consistent in their knowledge and expertise, for us not against us, and don't sway with the changing political winds. They've been godsends to us. These others you will need to consult with and be clear about your requests for proper removal. I hope this is helpful!

She has stopped all implantations, except when she can give each patient the entire story and list ALL of the potential risk factors and thepatient requests them anyway due to extreme conditions such as mastectomy.She prefers mastopexy to implant for healthy women and openly discusses herreasoning.......she cares about the health ofher patients: by :Yannijazz@...
