6 months ago I had 20-yr old large implants removed and a lift. I noticed my skin stretching slightly off of my sternum after getting the original implants but since they have been removed, its obviously much. I am a bit surprised that my surgeon didnt address this recently during the X plant and lift. She did mention things like dermal matrixes, or the only way to fix it would be new implants, but seems reluctant to address it. I need a second opinion but not sure where to start.
I had a BA 10 months ago and removed after 4 months, it's been just over 6 months and I still feel like I can't wear an underwire bra physically and mentally. My incisions were below my crease fold. They are healing well. The augmentation was a massive regret in which I'm still trying to get over and I worry I won't be able to do normal things like wear a bra or go braless again. I still have soreness where my under boob has been stretched as I had quite pointy tuberous boobs
I had 350cc implants put in 10 months ago, I removed after 4 months. Simple Explant, capsules still there. I have a constant ache/bruised sore feeling all over my breasts which has stopped me from living a normal life for 6 months, I cannot work as they are so sensitive and struggle with most daily tasks. I had a mammogram which showed nothing unusual. Will this be forever? I cannot stand the pain no more.
Hi :) I had my breast implants removed and a lift 6 months ago. I am very happy with my breasts however on one side there is a thickening of the scar on one side of my areola. The area started as a red dot which I thought was a spitting suture. It has now healed but is a raised scar and slightly pigmented in that spot. Does this look like a keloid? Thank you very much
I had implant removal 6 months ago and one of my breast doesnt look like it has settled down like the other side has. I was very flat to begin with and removed 550 cc implants that were in 20 years so my skin is loose and that I understand but I dont know why the one breast underneath seems to be stuck. Not sure if this is called adhesion and if it will still settle over the year.
Implants for 4 months and then had them removed. It has been 6 months and I have animation deformity. My PS said he reattached the muscle but from his notes it looks like he just put a couple of sutures in. What are my options for muscle repair and how successful does it tend to be? Are there significant risks with muscle reattachment?
I had my 325cc silicon subglandular implants removed about 6 months ago. This was my second set of implants and I hated them both times. The first were 450cc submuscular saline. Getting breast implants is my greatest regret in life and I feel it has ruined my chest. The PS that removed them doesn't recommend fat transfer. This process/outcome has left me so distraught that I went for a consult to have a flat-closure mastectomy. Is reimplant the only way to fix my disfigured chest?
Had breast implants the 1st time in 1988. May of 2013 had implants removed due to rupture and new implants put in. October 15th had left breast redone because it was hard and too high on my chest. November 6th went back to the doctor because breast had a pin hole and fluid was squirting out in a stream. Then another hole started and now the 2 holes merged into 1 and the implant is BLACK. The doctor has stated that the implant needs to come out. I am scheduled for surgery November 11th 2013.
I had my implants removed almost 6 months ago due to infection and always had a small amount of pain, over the past two weeks I have noticed a hard lump in my right breast above my nipple, right breast is still sore, left breast no lumps, I'm wondering if this could be scar tissue ? I don't want to panic just yet and live in a remote area, so I'm not able to get to a plastic surgeon
