I have 20 yr old breast implants. The left has become very hard, and tender (painful at times). A recent ultrasound was normal. Recent mammogram showed no signs of cancer but the report said possible failure of left implant, obstructing views, so mammogram deemed inconclusive. My family doc suggests I see a plastic surgeon. If the implant/s has broken down somehow, will ohip cover removal? How common is this? And what would cause the breast to be very hard on the left side, and the tenderness.
Had breast implants 22 years ago and had a hysterectomy 6 years ago. I never experienced any of these health issues until immediately following my hysterectomy: Severe anxiety High blood pressure Unexplained weight gain Chronic headaches Nausea Easily frustrated/agitated Is there a correlation between the implants and hysterectomy to why I'm having these symptoms?
I got my implants back in 1999 by a doctor that soon lost his license. I wasnt able too go to my post op appointments. He did the procedure in his office. It was dont through my belly button. He placed a hollow metal tube through the belly button and ran it up to my breast area where he created 2 pockets for the implants to be placed. He ran the implants up through the tubes and filled them with saline. He told me they would soften. They havent and Im concerned.
My under the muscle saline implants are 20 years old. I have had no issues until recently when I had a car accident resulting in many chiropractic adjustments involving pushing on my back while laying on my stomach. After 4 weeks both breastscare very sore and achy. I requested no more 'pushing' pressure on my chest but I'm still sore n achy. Mammo and ultrasound returned no issues, thankfully. What could be causing this long term soreness and ache?
My saline implants are 20 years old and after my routine mammogram 3 days ago, my right breast has gotten smaller and seems flatter than the left. I also got a call today saying I needed to have my surgeon check my implants because the right one showed more folds than the left.
Felt incredibly sick, sever flu-like symptoms (popping joints, aching shoulders, chest pressure, popping middle of back), feel some better, now on antibiotics. Have a doc app on Mon. w/ a MD, breast specialist, to rule out anything related with the breast tissue (had a mamo, & doc was unfamiliar with the halo around my R-implant) Want to make sure I am heading in the right direction? I am looking for a PS in California, who deals with this specific issue? thank you for your time and insight.
I have discovered through ultrasound and mammogram that my Left breast 21 year old under muscle silcone breast implant has ruptured. I have been having moderate to severe burning throbbing pain and nausea for 1 week radiating to my back. It is ruptured under the axila and right of the nipple. I am awaiting a Plastic Surgeon consult. I have been told and read there shouldn't been this much pain. They are still supple and soft , and no change in shape. Could the silcone be migrating?
