BEAUTIFUL BREASTS
You should be happy about your breasts. No ‘if onlys’, such as ‘if only they were larger, sturdier or the same as before’. Because beautiful breasts contribute to your self-confidence and also to your quality of life.
Your health comes first in all my treatments. That is why I no longer use silicone breast implants.
Breast implant removal
Silicone implants remain a point of contention. That is why, to be on the safe side, I stopped using them years ago. Should you have concerns or symptoms, removal is an option. You can achieve a noticeably better effect with lipofilling.
I have successfully treated many patients with symptoms varying from painful breasts and severe muscle pain to chronic fatigue. It was great to see how they recovered after I removed their silicone implants.
Symptom checker
Before the removal of their silicone implants, my patients suffered from a range of similar symptoms for which the GP could not immediately identify a cause.
Breast pain
Chronic fatigue and “brain fog”
Muscle pain like you just ran a marathon
Joint pain, neck and shoulder symptoms
Night sweats and palpitations
Eczema
Tingling in your arms or legs
Dry eyes, dry mouth or both
Intestinal symptoms
If you have any of these symptoms your concerns may be justified..
Then you should see a specialist who is familiar with breast implant syndrome.
Because this syndrome is not yet immediately demonstrable, the specialist will first rule out other causes. Once he is convinced that your symptoms are related to your silicone implants, you should consider having them removed.
I can help
This is a difficult decision but you do not have to make it alone. In a one to one consultation we can discuss what treatments there are. And what is the best option for you.
I will then also explain why it is better to also remove the capsules, the thin membranes that form around the silicone prostheses. In my experience patients recovered very well after the removal of both the protheses and the capsules.
Then we will see whether you would benefit from lipofilling or a breast lift. And do not worry: you will get your beautiful breasts.
