    Default Need positive vibes and good thoughts...

    Hi everyone!

    I'd like to ask you all to be so kind as to keep me in your thoughts...I am going for surgery this Tuesday a.m. at 7:00 (Pacific time). I had complications with my breast implants and so will be having them removed with a lift. I am feeling a little nervous, but I believe in the power of positive thoughts and would really appreciate your good energy.

    Thank you so much in advance, and I hope you all have a fantastic day.

    Big Hugs and lots o' love,
    Megan

    What complications did you have? Are you getting new implants with your lift?
    In any case, good GOOD luck to you!

    One of my 4 year old saline implants deflated, and I had a really bad reaction to it- elevated white blood cell count and infection. I thought about it and decided I didn't want to go through that again, nor multiple additional surgeries for boob maintenance.

    I had been informed right from the beginning that I'd eventually have to deal with deflation and/or replacement surgeries. However, after this episode, my choice was to not take the risk anymore. I had originally wanted just a lift, but decided to try the implant route to "fill-em-up." Now I'm going to just have them taken out and lifted.

    I'm heading up to Portland tonight and having my surgery tomorrow a.m., so thanks for your thoughts and prayers! I really appreciate it. You guys rock.

    Lots o' Love,
    Megan

    Who's doing your surgery? I live in Portland and am familiar with alot of the surgeons. There are some great doctors up here. I hope all goes well. I'm sorry you're having to deal with this in the first place. I, too had a deflation and it wasn't any fun. Take care!

    Hi there all! Wow, do you ever ROCK, friends! I just love ya for all your kindness.

    So it turns out I'm staying at home in Eugene tonight and driving to Portland E-A-R-L-Y tomorrow a.m. before my surgery...

    Heather, I am going to Dr. Melvin- heard anything about him? He wasn't my implanting doc; I originally got them in Minnesota. But I heard from lots of women that he does an excellent job at removal and lift, and he seems very knowledgeable, understanding, etc...

    Bridgette, best of luck to you as your Big Day gets closer!!! I hope you have a great experience; thank you so much for your kick-butt positivity and helpfulness.

    Love to all!
    Megan

    Dr. Marcus Melvin is awesome! He does great work. I'm sure you'll be very pleased with your new surgery. Take really good care of yourself and let us know how pleased you are with your beautiful new breasts when you've recovered.
    Positive vibes and good thoughts-

    All done, and all is well!

    The doctor and all the staff were wonderful. I was a little nervous, so they gave me some sedative right before I went into the O.R. that was EXCELLENT. I was cracking jokes and thanking everyone profusely... for my grand comedic finale I asked if I'd be getting some beads (for Fat Tuesday). Then, out like a light and awake the next moment, all over! No pain, no panic, just happy.

    I will definitely attach my before/afters- I'm confident that I will be happy with the outcome. The "gals" will need some recuperation time first, since they've been through a lot and will need to shape up to their final look. However, I am thrilled and SO THANKFUL to all of you for your kindness and for being there with me in spirit.

    Have a fantastic day everyone!

    Love and gentle hugs,
    Megan

    Hey there! Well, I got them because I had originally wanted a lift, but the plastic surgeons I went to encouraged me to try implants to fill them out and avoid the scars of a lift. However, I didn't fully grasp the fact that I would need to have several thousand dollars on hand at any given time in case of complications. I ended up having two deflated saline implants for 11 months, due to other financial obligations I had to take care of before I could save up for another operation. I should have given more consideration to the fact that multiple redo operations are very, very common- I just didn't realize it at the time. Now that I finally went ahead with removal and lift, the scars really aren't that bad at all and I personally wish I'd just gone that route the first time around!

    As for the cost, I got them in December 1998 in Minneapolis, and they were $4,100. Prices vary widely according to area of the country, doctor, etc.

    Thanks for your kindness, Messi. Have a fantastic day!

    Love and Hugs,
    Megan
