I see most people had the TMJ implants, Proplast was placed during my jaw surgery as cheek implants and now they are failing. Anyone else have the Proplast anywhere except the joint?
- Brenda DawsonOwnerHi Shannon, welcome! I believe most of us here had the Vitek jaw implants. For me the proplast that was in my joint basically just dissolved. http://bren-s-blog.blogspot.com/2013/02/another-vitek-survivor.html I am sorry to hear about your implant failing. I have never heard of a cheek-jaw surgery. What kind of problems are you having?Jul 10, 2015
- I had surgery to correct a severe bite and the surgeon decided to augment my cheeks to help with the contours of my face. I am having the same problems as the rest of ya'll! Severe pain, swelling, bone erosion even on the non symptomatic side and a host of autoimmune issues.Jul 10, 2015
- OH MY. I had Proplast Implants back in 1991.The only problem is that in my serious case, all the TMJ Docs Lied & concealed My Proplast surgical history, as well as deleting any knowledge of the surgical procedures. Suddenly, Years later, I am finally being told that after I have had 4 and a half surgeries that the Proplast never gets completely removed from Your body, Sadly enough, The Proplast gets into your bones and blood stream, Evidently, Proplast is a permanent poison. I also deal with Intractable bone & nerve pain for the rest of my life as it is chronic and very life altering. My Proplast was placed into both of my Jaw joints and it eat out my jaw joints, As a result of the Proplast Particles, I now have A Total Joint Replacement which involves the implantation of Metallic artificial jaw joints. Indeed, this metallic device is breaking down & is scheduled to be removed & replaced in a few months.Aug 3, 2015
- Yes Indeed, I just had the Total Joint MOM Christensen Device removed last year, November of 2015. As a result of this surgery, I had severe and serious TMJ Metallosis problem that Docs In my State were Ignoring. I am going back now for my Stage 2 surgery. I also have Nodule Clusters on my Thyroid as well as An enlarging Goiter that my family doc thinks is okay..,!!... I disagree,.. I desire a Specialist Opinion, SO I am going to an Endocrinologist for further Tests, Treatments and studies. I am very concerned about my Thyroid, As I am experiencing several serious health issues, ...such as,....No energy, weight gain, etc,..Especially for anyone that has had a history of Proplast Materials Invading their body.Feb 23, 2016
- +Shannon Belton my right side had cheek, jaw and chin. They are still in me. I don't know if I should have them removed. I'm concerned about Teflon debris if the are removed. And is there doctors that have experience with removal? Thanks
