Timely and proper explantation (removal) of breast implants is the most crucial step to your recovery from breast implant illness. As soon as the implants are properly removed, you will likely notice a reduction or clearing of some of your SYMPTOMS. However, some symptoms may linger until your body has completed a DETOXIFICATION process and had a chance to heal. Good news is, we note a number of women who were symptomatic and had timely explantation and felt that they recovered their health within approximately a year after removal of implants. Unfortunately, there are other women who do not ever fully recover their health or quality of life due to breast implants and some women who develop deadly disease and die prematurely due to breast implants.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT SURGEON WHO IS EXPERIENCED AT EN-BLOC EXPLANTATION
No matter what you read or are told from your plastic surgeon about explantation of breast implants, if you are symptomatic
ALL BREAST IMPLANTS SHOULD BE REMOVED EN-BLOC NO MATTER THE TYPE OF IMPLANT.
En-bloc is a breast implant removal procedure first developed in France to deal with the earlier versions of silicone breast implants when ruptured and leaking silicone. En-bloc removal means the surgeon removes the surrounding tissue capsule and the implant together, intact, as one unit, without disrupting either capsule or implant to avoid further contamination of the body tissues. If you are symptomatic it should be obvious to you and your doctor that the tissue capsule around your implant is contaminated and En-bloc removal is necessary. Proper En-bloc removal is your best chance at recovering your health. Even if you are not symptomatic and you have silicone, cohesive gel or textured saline implants they should be removed En-bloc for your utmost health because there will be contamination in the capsule.
Recently, I have been hearing from several women who just got implants in the last few months and are reacting immediately and having them removed. In the case that your implants are only a few months old, En-bloc removal would not be necessary as there would be very little capsule tissue built by your body in the first few months of having implants.Learn more
