i had breast implants over muscle on 23.9.11 the first night i had an execruting pain on the left side i thought no more of it till i went to have the stitches out 8 days later. the left side had not closed. there was clear fluid coming out of it i returned to the ps a week later & it had still not healed. i have returned on a weekly basis & had it stitched & glued & still no joy there was no obvious signs of infection however after going nearly 11 weeks with it still open i am having it removed this week at present i am left with a 2 1/2" hole with implant protruding through totally baffled as other side is ok anyone else had a problem like this ? or any idea what could be the cause ?

Oh no! I'm so sorry this has happened to you!

You don't happen to be smoker by any chance? I ask because this sort of thing is more common in women who smoke before and after breast surgery (but not unheard of in women who don't smoke, either).

You might want to post a question to doctors in RealSelf's Q&A community (with one of these photos) to get their feedback. What does your surgeon say?

I'm so sorry about this pain and frustration you are going through, poor girl, hope a new surgery will relieve your pain a little bit. How big was the implants? Maybe they were too heavy? And you had them over the muscle, that causes more complications too from what my doctor told me. Hope things get better for you, stay strong!

So sorry but I had the same experience except my right breast split like a potatoe.I had to go get bandages changed everyday for 3 weeks I was sick and yes had to get right implant removed it was coming out of my breast you could see the inside of my breast I was so depressed they took it out without anathesia I went 6 months before I could get it put back because it was a open sore that didn't want to heal I'm healthy non smoker Just got in on Dec.7th its doing good but I think it was implant contamination that caused me grief... hope it helps good luck
