I think my left implant(silicone) has ruprured as it is very uneven, sagging and painful. I noticed today that i am losing colour in my areola and it is also totally numb. I am currently breastfeeding so this makes me very worried. Should i stop breastfeeding?? Is it harmful to my baby if ruptured? What does the numbness and discolouration mean? Is it something i should be worried about? Please help!!
I have a hypertrophic scar on one of my incisions from a breast augmentation in June of 2016. The scar is nearly two years old and has not improved, especially in comparison to the other scar on my left breast. Is there anything I can do at this point to improve the scarring on my right breast? Pictures included. Also, on the scar that has healed better, there is still slight discoloration. Will that fade with more time or is that the more than likely the final look?
I had breast reduction and lift when I was 21, when I was 22 I had implants put in 10th April 2019. Since October 2020 Ive been experiencing weird purple discolouration on the left one under my nipple and on the sides Ive been getting red patches of skin, and the last few weeks slight discomfort. Is this normal?
I am 1 week 2 days post op. I sent my surgeon an email with pics a couple days ago (out of town patient) he noticed the discoloration before I left and has had me putting on neosporin on my nipple. I just want to make sure my nipple will be ok. It looks like Im still bruised but Im not, the stuff I use to clean the area is a dark orange and turns my skin yellow when cleaning.
I had implants/anchor lift done 10 weeks ago. My right implant has fallen out of the pocket & into my axillary region. It causes pain/discoloration/double bubble. my surgeon says this is my natural breast tissue & that he even went in 2x in surgery to double check it wasn't the implant. When I voice my frustrations and ask about fixes (a textured implant - he says it doesn't work, or using a fake skin wall - he says it will cost as much as my initial surgery 8,000$) no help.What can I do?
Here are photos of my left breast. Called doc & neither one of us knows whats wrong?! I havent felt this kind of pain since week one. Sharp stabbing & pulling pain. Was given Robaxin but still having to take 1000mg of Tylenol 4x/day. Doc said she doesnt want me taking that much but hasnt given me anything else for it. Im not sure what to do... please help
Started developing extreme dry/cracked skin w/a clear sticky discharge from areola 3mo ago. My plastic surgeon thinks its just dry skin & maybe my milk ducts leaking. It dries into a yellow crust and sticks to eveeything. The skin on/around areola has become extremely discolored, itchy, red, cracked & raised. Moved out of state went to an urgent care, was prescribed clindamycin for 7 days due to bacteria presence found in discharge. 4wks later and its worsening. Getting scared, what should I do?
Ten months post op. Had zero problems up until about two weeks ago. Had a Sharp pinch like feeling and found a small discoloration right where the pain came from. This has not gone away. The pinching pain comes and gos. As well as by the area of the line I seemed to have lost feeling. Implant (silicone ) is still very soft and does not hurt to move and squish. What could this pain be and should I be alarmed ?
