    I had my 37 year old Implants removed 3 weeks ago after finding both had ruptured, one badly the other multi pin hole leaking . I am looking forward to feeling better health wise . Many years of multi aches and pains unexplained by my Doctors . The explant surgery was not nearly as bad as I had expected .

      @@JesusCameForTheSinners yes I did, when my Doctor was removing left breast implant he found it also was leaking . Pin point, but... Still, if had been actually saline, as surgeon who implanted it assured me it was,I think I would not have had nearly as many issues. I am praying that those who think Their Breast being bigger are going to be happier, it does NOT guarantee anything!
      Am I sorry I got Implants... No,but I would do more research,and ask myself .. who does he Love (if gotten for a man) Me? Or big,firm breasts? I had implants for me, I was a single Mom, who had just gone thru a Divorce, I wanted to make sure I was a Sexy, attractive 40 year old . Little did I imagine, that I Would have a need to remove my Implants.

    what a brilliant and honest interview with this surgeon. He explained things so clearly and thoroughly. The best interview with a surgeon that i have listened to. P.S The sleep and postural information was spot on. Thank you and God bless you.

    Excellent information, thank you! I wanted to add that some insurance companies are covering explant & capsulectomy surgery when you have a ruptured silicone implant. I am with Aetna and I was approved right away. It's worth looking into your plan, and then if covered, asking your surgeon to submit a precertification request.

    I had my breast implants removed, got my breast lifted and had my own fat transfered from my belly into the upper part of my breasts, the results were fantastic, it´s what I should have done instead of those unnatural breast implants, which I never needed.

    It’s has been 2 1/2 years since my implants were removed, I’m still in pain every day. Bianca Chin left silicone in my left breast, which showed 1 year later on my mammogram. My left breast is much bigger than my right breast. The right areola and nipple point up, the left areola and nipple point down and both cave in. Problems underneath my left arm pit and when lying down the breast moves under my arm pit. She gave me an uplift, if you want to call it that, a complete botched surgery, my breast look so ugly. I paid her $22,000.00. The worst doctor in Cincinnati, OH. What she did to me was criminal.

    I’ve had my breast implants for a very long time and had a mammogram 3 years ago and now I have a lump on my breast that has been tested for cancer. I’m hoping that is a ruptured impact and not breast cancer.

    Hi there! Does the breast create collagen after explant/lift surgery and would that explain hard lumps (but only on one side) 19 weeks post- op?
