Re: enbloc vs. implant removal first

It is my understanding that the implants should always be removed en bloc

when possible. Sometimes it is not possible, then they must do it the way

you are describing, however, they should first at least attempt to do it en

bloc. The reason is really obvious why, esp when you have silicone gel, you

want the implants to come out whole for two simple reasons really, first to

protect your body from having the implant contents leak or drain into your

body, and second to get as much out the first time, so they don't have allot

of digging around to do. I would tell this Dr Nice that he needs to at least

promise in writting that he will attempt to get them out enbloc. If he

cannot then at the very least he needs to remove the entire capsule. SInce

you don't have saline it is not possible to drain the contents first and

then remove them, I have heard of this with saline but it is not possible to

drain gel.

With the situation you are in and being so desperate to get them out, please

do not throw caution to the wind, still try to get them out the proper way

to ensure you the best outcome and best possible healing.
