Extreme Pain 3 Years After Breast Augmentation...

Hi there try taking vitamin b12 it helps promote the healing of damaged nerve cells....i dont know if this will work but it is a suggestion to your problem, I would also look up what can help heal nerve damage after breast augmentation, i know you dont want to take your implants out, thats like exchanging your womanhood, and ending up with old saggy breasts.... they will also charge you alot of money to take the implnats out, thats what they want...remember that doctors dont know your body as well as you do, do alot of research, there are vitamins that you can take to help this, and other resolutions, doctors are not god, pray about it as well god is the ultimate doctor.....hope all goes well, let me know what happens....take care...

I am seven years post-op and have the same sort of pain. It's gotten worse, especially at night, with sharp, burning, unbearable pain. I've seen many, many doctors about this and nobody can guarantee removal of implants will alleviate the pain. So, you should be aware that the damage may already be done, i.e. scar tissue around a nerve, that will not get better with implant removal.

I had surgery in 2oo6, under the muscle, I am in the worst pain from them!!! MY hands, shoulders, joints. I wish I never did it! It's so depressing. I hope when I get them out this pain will go away. Do you want to hear something that makes sence? Everyone says to get saline.. great, well what do you think the saline is going into? Silicone!!! What happens when you leave something in water for years? Yeah!! the silicone shell breaks down... Then you get really.. really sick thank you for reading this and don"t do it!!!

Hi I'm Ginger in 2005 after having two children I decided to get implants put in as I had started body sculpting and had lost all breast I was 29 years of age . I went though I very well known and respected plastic and reconstructive surgeon he put in teardrop textured 280 cc mentor implants he suggested this as I had sagging breast with little upper pole. After surgery while I was in recovery about 1 n half hours in I was in extreme pain the nurse checked on me and the left breast was bleeding and was twice the size of the right the dr came in and told me I had a burst heamatoma and was rushed backed into emergency surgery. I had only 10 min or so to take this all in before I was under again . When I came to the dr advised me that the surgery went well and that I would be in a lot more pain but would recover . Well for the first three weeks I thought I was never going to be pain free I had a drain in the lefthand side for 10 days was not able to go to the toilet by myself for 5 days any way I did eventually recover but was left with nerve damage to the lefthand breast for the next 5 years we tired everything from natural vitamins and products to anti depressant drug therapy my surgeon saw me every year for a check up and every year was the same until 2011 when he finally said enough and that he would remove my implants and replace them with smooth round 300cc implants he believed that the teardrop textured implant was working like Velcro and pulling on the nerves so I went under the knife again in march 2011 surgery was successful except that when he went in the lefthand side implant had ruptured from one side to the other he asked me in recovery whether I had had any trauma to that side , an accident or whether I had dropped a weight on it I replied no to all of these . Any ways he had Berber seen this particular implant rupture in this way it is currently being sent to the US for inspection . Despite this experience I still would do it all again I am in my second week of recovery and the pain is no were near as bad as the first time my surgeon did all this for me free of charge and currently they look wonderful . I believe the textured implant did not help my situation and would be interested to hear of any others that have had this experience . Thanx g

It has now been 6 months since my surgery and although at first I thought the pain was gone after three months the nerve pain has come back and I still have the same sypmtons as before I cannot sleep on my lefthandside and there is deep pain in the breast it's also does not have as much free movement as my righthand side breast, I'm am on an antidepressant and valium at night to get sleep my next option is going to try an anti convulsant drug . It has been to great dissapoinment that the recent surgery has not helped the pain, however I do believe once you have had nerve damage it is likely to be with you forever regardless if you have the implants in or they are removed once the damage is done it seems to be permenant, or at least I have found this pain has been present since 2006 and even after replacement of old implants it's still presen
