I was shaking & cold this was followed by serve pain in my mid back & chest I had my BA silicone 425cc mentor dual plane placed 3 weeks.A&E say my blood is consistent with infection. I had drains fitted & a small hole been leaking yellow fluid very small amount since the op.they said it didnt show signs of infection. The right breast is slightly swollen & warmer I had antibiotics post op for 5 days. Its hard to breath deeply I have no bruising & the scar isnt particularly red.
I have had my smooth silicone implants for 5 years. I have been experiencing enlarged lymph nodes in my neck, behind my ear down my neck to the collar bone, about 4 of them from pea sized to the size of a quarter they have persisted after a round of steroids. Is this related to my implants or BII. The implants do not feel or look abnormal from that I can see. Should I see a plastic surgeon? Picture is before 2 more nodes appeared
One breast is very swollen. It bled very profusely after the operation, and I lost a lot of blood. Is it because of the bleeding? Is it harmful to have a build up blood in the breast? Will it have to be removed manually? I am a bit concerned. I am seeing my surgeon today. I would really appreciate a second opinion. I am 68. Kind Regards Keren
Under the muscle,transauxilary ,silicone gel implants They were in for one year. I began experiencing extreme fatigue , swollen lymph nodes shooting pain. The mri showed irregularities but nothing was certain. The doctor said that simple removal of the implant through the underarm was all that he would recommend to do at this time. It has been 4 weeks now,i feel a lot better , still am very tired sometimes. Is there some way to know what is going on in my body without breaking the bank?
I had my explant surgery one week ago and had drains in or 3 days. The left breast is absolutely fine however I'm still having discomfort with the left side where the actual drain entered my breast. There is no gunk or leakage , it just feels slightly more swollen than the left side again where the drain entered the breast. Is it normal to have one side worse than the other? This side that's painful still was the Breast that was draining more fluid out of the two of that means anything?
Path report show; Dense fibroconnective tissue w focal foreign body granuloma. Seroma fluid both breast, inflammatory cells, red cells and histiocytes. IGE went down after implants removed, but back up shortly after caps removed. Stirred up something? 750 <114. During implantation WBC and neutrophils elevated. Dropped after caps removed. Now breasts are swollen, painful etc. Dr's are stumped. Ultrasound; 3 seroma, numerous cysts & lymph nodes. Skin rashes for years got better after explant.

I had a breast implant removal along with a mastopexy 10 months ago. One month after the surgery, my dermatologist found that the scars were a little bit swollen, so she told me to put corticoid cream. Now they are flat but wide (up to 1 cm width). I need a scar revision. I think that an excision and suture is the only solution to make them thinner. Are there methods that you would recommend ? Specific stiches ? Dissolvable or regular suture ? Sorry the pictures are upside down.
I just explanted my implants two days ago. I've noticed my incision on my right side hurts more. Is this normal? I am right handed and it's not terrible pain, just more achy. Also the right breast seems a little more swollen. Is this in the range of normal?
I had breast augmentation removal (under the breast crease) 13 days ago with capsulectomy. Had drains for 7 days then removed. I drained 30ml,18,10,10,6,3,1respectively in the LEFT breast so they were no longer necessary. 4 days after drains were removed LEFT breast started swelling under the armpit first, along the side of my back, side of breast now on top and under breast. Got an ultrasound done and radiologist said breast tissue is swollen with possible lymphedema. What to watch out for?
