Breast Implant Removal: Stories

Iv had my breast implants for 10 years and in that time iv had 2 children, over the last few months iv been having alot of burning sensation in my right breast and the shape has changed. i went to see my doctor yesterday and she basically said it could be due to an ill fitting bra (my bras fit fine!!) or the time of the month, i explained this was not the case but she basically made me feel like i was over reacting. i know my body and the pain im in. looks like i will have to pay for a MRI scan to find out what is going on, does anyone know how much these cost? il keep you all posted of my progress and hope to have my implants out as soon as i can.

Hi after going back to the doctors for the 3rd time and was given an appointment to see a consultant and Iv been and had my MRI scan, it shows that my right breast does have some silicone gel leaking however the consultant has said it doesnt look like it has leaked outside of the breast, im so happy that i listened to myself and not the doctor who said there was nothing wrong with either of my breasts!! im now just waiting for my appointment to come through and for my implants to be removed and not replaced.

Hi I had my implants out yesterday 29/08/2012 through the NHS i had a really good consultant mr ward, My right implant was leaking and both implants had hardened, i was very scared both of the operation and the outcome. i can honestly say the treatmet i received though the NHS was far better then nearly 12 years ago when i had my implants put in through transform. i dont regret having my implants but im so much happier now they are out i feel like me again. they are a lot smaller i was a 34A (just) before i had implants then after i was a 36d then after twins i became 36dd im unsure what size they are now as they still look a little sorry for themselves but it feels so good not to have two hard lumps on my chest and im looking forward to having a smaller bust! i will post pictures of before and after as i found so may reviews on this side to be so helpful and reassuring its helped me alot in the run up to my operation. THANK YOU. idint have to have drains which i was really worried about and i only had a dressing under my boobs to cover the scar. i went home the same day. yesterday i just felt a little sick and sore but im not in pain as such its just sore and my movement is a little restricted. today i feel better still sore but pain killers help with this. will keep you posted with my progress.

Ok so had my implants removed on the 29/08/2012 but today had to go and see the ps as my right breast has hardened and is causing me pain! iv got to have a scan but he thinks my scar tissue has hardened and i need more surgery to remove this, im so gutted i thought i was finally over the worst and was on the road to recovery but im not quite there yet, it feels like a real set back. has anyone else had this happen to them id love to hear from you? i still dont regret having them removed im much happier and i know in the long run everything will be ok its jsut taking longer then hoped!
