Mammogram Abnormalities
I posted this under my mommy makeover part 2, but thought I would specifically share this with any women carrying over 30 year implants that ruptured.
My husband just called me and told me he got back my mammo report he had ordered for my surgery on thursday. They said I had some anomilies on the upper right side breast above the implant. I think it may be the strattice or some left over silicone that my surgeon wasn't able to get out last may. So now I have to drive to Andrews which is an hour away and pick up the cd to take to my ps on tues.… Show more He's going to use it as a guide when he removes and replaces the implants I have in now. So he can make sure I don't have any more calcified silicone left in the breast tissue. Calcified silicone is not dangerous it just makes your mammos difficult to read. So you keep getting false positives for cancer. So its a good thing a want to go a bit smaller and he's going to go in there anyway. His wife just had both her breasts removed from cancer last month so he's paranoid about this kinda stuff. I'm not worried its cancer. I know it's the ruptured silicone that I had for over 30 years. Not a big deal. I never had any aches or pains or symptoms ever in the 30 years I had them. But, these false positives on mammos needs to be remedied. My husband whose a doc is not concerned either. But he wants me totally cleaned out so he called my ps and told him what's going on and my ps told him to have me bring him the films on cd and he would use that as a guide to finish cleaning me out before he puts the new implants in. GOSH! Drama

Thanks for sharing this in the breast lift/ revision reviews too. I also had my 30 year old implants removed. I'm having pain issues 7 weeks post op. Did they have you get an MRI? Are you familiar with the 3D images they can now use for women with implants?
September 23, 2013
Yes. I did an mri last year prior to the removal of the 30 year old ones. But mammo shows he didn't get all the yukky silicone that leaked into the breast tissue. It's not dangerous it just makes mammo's difficult to interpret.
September 23, 2013
I'm lucky that i only have to pay $300 for any kind of mri since my hubby sends so many patients to them. So it's really cheaper than a mammogram complete which is $450. And they don't have to squish your damn [RS bleep]!

I refuse to ever get a mammogram again ( I think) I had one that either caused my rupture or made it worse. It was excruciating. I would prefer to just get an MRI but was told you need both as MRI will not detect all cancers? I'm still having pain from pocket repair. I'm surprised you will not need drains. That's great! I had mine in two weeks as there was so much drainage from internal work.
September 23, 2013
Me too. However, last time even with all the trauma of scraping out all the old silicone I never drained more than 25cc.

I won't have a mammogram because of fear of rupture but opt for thermography instead.

I'm glad to hear everyone is being extra cautious even though it does create a bit of drama. We'll be anxiously awaiting your update!

Got my lift revision done. Post op day 1. I've posted pics on my mommy maker part 2 .

Can ask..why did you keep them in for 35 years? that is a long time to go without a replacement. Hey my husband is from Lubbock TX! I love texas:)
September 26, 2013
They never ever bothered me at all. Not one single bit. I wouldn't have replaced them but getting older and mammos were getting hard to read. My mom had hers in over sixty years. She passed away this year with the same ones in her. She was 81. She never had any problems with hers either.
