I. Have so many problems since the implants. I am dealing with thrush and vag Yeast infection constantly since my rough saline ruptured I have so many health problems I've been dc. With advance disc dc I'm loosing all my upper teeth what do i do lora
A ruptured saline implant typically just results in anxiety on behalf of the patient because there is sudden deflation and loss of breast volume. Rest assured, the saline should not do any harm to you as it is absorbed into your tissue. The implant shell remains as it was before the rupture although now deflated in appearance. I am concerned about your other symptoms, but I do not feel that they are related to the implant. At some point, you should elect to either remove your implants or remove and replace them. But, to address your dental and yeast infection issues, I would follow up with your primary care doctor and dentist.
I am 38 have had PIP submuscular implants I think 220 for 6 years I want them removed and not replaced I have read a lot about the capsule and would like advice. Should I insist on capsule removal because of the possible contamination through the faulty toxic implants that may have been absorbed into the protective capsule? I am concerned that even if I have the implants removed I will still be at risk from the industrial silicon.
In general, when I remove implants, I remove the implant and surrounding scar capsule. The reasoning for the capsule removal is to create a raw surface such that the implant cavity can heal down. The cavity would then no longer exist. The scar capsule is typically a very smooth surface which might persist unless it is removed. I would not worry much (if at all) about the potential toxicity associated with the capsule or even the PIP implant itself. There is actually no data to suggest that it will harm you although the company was using unauthorized silicone. However, the recommendation remains that the implants should be removed. If you do not replace the implants, then you may notice a drooping quality to your breasts in addition to the loss of volume.
Hello, I am one week postop for breast implant removal. I forgot to ask my surgeon if I should massage the scars and also how long I should wait before wearing an underwire bra? He said I could wear a normal bra instead of my sports bra but I forgot to ask about underwire bras.
I personally have patients wear a soft bra for 6 weeks before wearing a push-up or underwire type of bra. However, that also depends on how well the patient has healed. I also let people start scar massage as soon as the skin is healed and no long raw. Your surgeon may have different ideas about the proper postop regime.
