Double mastectomy with gummy bear implant issue 4 years later.

July 31, 2017
Asked By:AshleySp in Barrie, ON

Hi I've had my gummy bear implants for 4 years, I had a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery all at one time, breast cancer related. In less than a year my left one has had fluid build up. So much so that last time, they took out over 2 cups. It's happening again and I'm due to get it drained on Thursday. Both times while i was sleeping. My question is have you ever experienced This? My surgeon won't take it out. It's extremely uncomfortable and burns.
