Implants are teardrop, gummy silicone and under muscle. 5years after it got hard changed shape and hurt. I went to my surgeon and it was encapsulated he changed implant, with two surgeries. 1st removed implant had a tube draining. A week after new implant was placed. Two years after that surgery I had a baby, was breast feeding. After 2 months the milk stopped and my left breast got hard looks like it turned and it hurts. Will i need two surgeries again? Can it get encapsulated again after another baby?
