I had 400cc silicone subpectoral implants placed 5 years ago. 2 months ago, I had some itching at the incision site only on the right breast and thought it was an allergy to my bra. 3 days ago my fingers became red, itchy and painfully swollen whenever I touched something cold. Today, I had a dull ache in the lower right quadrant of my right breast that has progressed to a radiating, warm pain in the rib area, pec and up spread to my right arm, towards my jaw, and my back. Also swelling on side.
How quickly in SUBGLANDULAR BA do patients start lifting above head? Lifting weights? Running? I know it's less than submusclubar but I want to know from patients specific experiences. Also, for small implants (300 cc) how much swelling is there? Can I estimate it's about a cup size of difference from the actual true size? Im 4 days post op and already itchy and wanting to go for a bike ride. I am healing fast I think, but want to know how typical this is? I haven't exercised yet but want to
Hi, I am 33 yrs old. I have mentors gummy bear textured tear drop implants, 500cc. I am 1yr and 4 months post op. I can feel (not see) large lumps in my left breast. 3 total, 2 being new recently.I am out of state and can not see my doctor.I pulled a stitch a day after surgery. It healed slower and left a knot/lump under my nipple that can be felt.My left breast will swell and look square.I feel a burning and itching feeling . I know I need to see a doctor for a MRI.
I had BA almost 1 year ago (July 18th will be a year.) I had Mentor Silicone Smooth Mod+ Profile Submuscular implants. I went from a 34B to a 34D. The healing process seemed to go according to plan. However, the incision scars (above crease) remained red, puffy and became itchy. About 2 months ago I went back to my PS and he gave me cortisone injections in each incision. Scars did not get better. Rippling in both breasts appeared as well as a bluish window -lower poles. Is this the cortisone? PS said it was a fold in implant. Scars were prominent after 8 mos. Went to PS and got cortisone. Breasts have progressively gotten worse.Scars remain, skin turned bluish and skin thinned, rippling.. PS revised left implant by removing sutures and tightning skin where it looks like implant is bubbling thru scar.
I had my surgery on the 8th October 2014 and recovery has been perfect since I woke up yesterday morning to intense itching on the right and left hand side of my breasts. I had tuberous breasts before the procedure and had 330cc high implants. The redness is quite hot to touch and itchy, i'm not sure if this is a infection or the skin stretching. If it is an infection, can you please advise on what to do next, will I need my implants out?
Lupus was ruled out but I have CREST Syndrome. Asymptomatic except for intermittent esophagitis. I developed itch & skin rashes on May 2014. The biopsy showed it was drug-related. Rashes were gone for a month, but came back July 28. I just saw the allergist today and he discussed that the rashes maybe caused by my implants. He said that if blood test and skin allergy test show negative results, then we will have to go through the breast implant being the culprit path. What are the chances?
