June 28, 2024
Asked By:Capri 88 in Singapore, Singapore

Dear Doctor I am hoping you can help me. 1. My first implants were inserted in 2006, McGhan Soft Touch Style MM 245 and I was very happy with them for 16yrs until the right side ruptured and I was experiencing pain in the left. 2022 I had them replaced with Mentor Anatomical 330c. 18months on they are still quite painful, sore and uncomfortable when my chn or husband hug me. The feeling is a grazed and bruised feeling as though the surgery was recent. They can tend to firm up too. Pls help. M
