Would you kindly tell me if explant is ever performed on an emergency basis? I am in a terrible situation and in need of advise. My surgery was cancelled last Monday due to a secondary respitory infection. The surgeon (original implanting dr) is angry and does not want to reschedule me. I waited months for the apt. He was doing explant only and general surgeon was removing lymphs. The only other surgeon in my area, I trust says that my case has progressed too rapidly (I have old meme under muscle with extracapsular rupture and migration and lymph node involvement) and I am spilling at unusually rapid rate and that my surgery is "urgent" and "severe" and must be handled "immediately" and can not wait until she has availability - that it would be a "severe health risk". I am wondering if explant is ever so urgent that it needs to be done on an emergency basis? I am so sick and have no surgeon at this point and I do not know what to do. Can you please advise me? Thank you very much.

Would you kindly tell me if just a dougnut lift is performed does the breast still get a "lift" (lifted) or is just the excess skin tightened up? Thank you.

This has been one of the reasons for my being very depressed. I had five bouts of telogen effluvium following my implant/explant surgery, crash diet,and going hyperthyroid on too much T3. I lost about 50% of my density--it totally sux. It's slowly coming back somewhat but I feel I need more medical attention to get full regrowth underway. It's important to have the body cleansed out as well as having adequate protein and iron stores in the body. Perhaps Dr. Kolb can tell us more about this as this is a devastating thing to deal with. I had long thick beautiful hair before getting those damn implants -Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 9, 2002 Report Share Posted August 9, 2002 Hi Dr. Kolb, I am sorry we have not connected yet. What would you suggest since I am being told this is so "urgent" and I have no surgeon? J- JHH7 wrote: Thank you. I will call you tomorrow.
