what to do.. need advice..

July 26, 2002

Okay here is the story..

Hello Ladies.. I am new here and the story is long so rather than

backtrack here is where I am now. I am going to be explanted...

SOONNNNNNN God willing. I called Dr Fengs office and it all made

sense and sounded good!!! But I was freaked when I saw the necrosis

on one of the patients who had the lift done after explantation.

And the price is around $10K all said and done

Well today I went to the ONLY board certified PS in my area..POMONA

VALLEY.. Claremont is my town in California.

At any rate I went and saw Dr. Li and he said that doing a lift after

an explant (with the implant above the muscle) can compromise the

blood supply and cause necrosis of the tissue and can cause loss of

the nipple. This is becuase the implant is removed right under the

skin... I have NO TISSUE left to speak of.. I know this..

This guy is also a Professor of PS for 12 years.

He said do the explant only (en bloc) and then when you have healed

see if you want to do anymore but he said I have no tissue left and I

have a LOT OF EXTRA skin. I will be VERY SAGGY at first and shrink up

somewhat after that.

BUT the cost would be $2500 complete w/ everything and that is that.

He is a good Doctor and checks out fine. BUT NOW I AM F----ing

confused. I don't really care at 51 years old of being saggy... I

know I don't have ANY breast tissue.

NOW WHAT TO DO.. I will call the Feng office again and talk to them..

OKAY GANG I NEED FEEDBACK..

OH and I am so happy to have this board here.. I feel like I just

jumped in belly flop up...

I have had 2 sets of implants 20 years. Silicone for 10 and now

saline. One breast is completely hard the other you can't tell it is

an implant.

But I WANT OUT NOW.. have lupus with blood, nervous system and some

kidney involvement..

KISS YOUR FACES.. all of them and sock it to me with your replies..
