That is indeed what I meant. They sliced the bottom of her ear open and took it out :'(

I'd rip through the health board if any medic cut my lobe open.

I honestly can't believe they would cut through a stretched lobe rather than take the jewellery out! That is ridiculous.
*hugs own lobes*

I have been doing microdermals for about as long as they have been out and in all my time doing them I have never needed a scalpel to remove them. And I don't use the fishhook anchors. A scalpel is highly unneccessary to remove an anchor. I am able to manipulate them out of the body very easily using only a pair of mosquito clamps. It is much easier to remove them then to put them in initially.

BrandonV, I'm sorry if I sound skeptical, but please, explain to me how that's possible, or what type of dermals you use.
I see it as simple logic that the base of the dermal is far larger than the hole for the post. To maneuver such a large object out such a small hole would be excruciating, and you would most likely tear. A scalpel would be far less damaging. |

to cheesestix.
i've had to remove microdermals twice from two different clients... both client had their microdermals for more than 6 months this was before i ever inserted an anchor. the first one i used a scalpel to open the hole just a bit towards the short end of the base, then i pocketed under the base with the blade to severe the fistula and the anchor slid right out... on the the second, i experimented (the client is a longterm friend and consented), i gently massaged the jewelry for a couple of minutes (streching the hole a bit) and then inserted a 16 gauge needle under the base to sever the fistula... i pierced the skin just to the side of the jewelry and manuvered the needle under the base.. the jewelry slid right out, with the help of some small clamps, without the need of cutting to open the hole... the second client said there was a small amount of pain, but after a couple of weeks there was barely a scar visible. the first client has a tiny visible scar that she's treating with scar therapy cream. both anchors were titanium pieces bought from microdermals . com my point is, there are ways other than cutting... though cutting is by far the fastest and easiest on the customer... in the future i will more than likely always use a scalpel to remove any other anchors that are presented to me (unless the client demands as small a scar as possible), but now i know there's another way that also works...

Freakychild - Thanks for the explanation. =D It makes a lot more sense now. I've only removed 1, but I found I only needed a small cut, about 2 mm, and it slid out nicely. The skin had grown through the hole, but a little massaging got it out without extra cutting.

Cheese - i'm sure it's possible to just massage and pull the implant out without cutting or piercing to break the growth of flesh in the holes of the base, and it may not be terribly painful to the client.
but, as a general rule (in my somewhat limited experience with microdermals and my somewhat extensive experience as a piercer) i do what i know needs to be done unless i can expirement extensively on consenting friends or myself with a new technique...
so, to all those out there in bodymod land that has anchors and wants them out... go ahead and accept as a fact that you will more than likely have to get them cut out in some form or fashion. no matter what EXPERIENCED piercer you go to, everyone's technique will differ in some way or another... but more than likely it will involve a blade of some sort. |
