Not Worth It
Spent: $12,000 in Riverside, California

in september 07 i got silicone gel implants over the muscle. they looked great the first couple of months and everything was normal until i noticed my left breast more firm than the right.

I developed capsular contraction and a week ago i decided to remove the implants and get saline under the muscle. now after a week of my surgery my left breast is firm and a bit painful. I also noticed that my left chest a swollen, and i cant even lift up my arm. my right side is healing very good, and i can even massage it without it hurting.

Is this a hematoma that I'm experiencing? will i have to undergo another surgery??

My Doctor: Name not provided

nothing is worth having to go through surgery one time after another, especially if it's something up to you. i would have rather been happier with what god gave me.

When you are having such pain and the breast is extremely hard to the touch, it is best to go see your Plastic Surgeon as soon as possible. There is always pain and swelling with breast surgery but it is best to have your Plastic Surgeon examine you to make sure that it is not a hematoma.
