Breast implant removed
I had the implant removed on Tuesday 6/25. I had to keep a bra on just so the implant hold not completely fall out of my breast....
now it’s a waiting game to see how long healing takes. Feeling extremely depressed bout the whole situation.

Implant rupture and complications
I’ve decided to write a whole other review to discuss my implant complications since they’ve definitely turned into its own story...
I went in for a thigh and arm lift on April 9th, when my PS found out that my left silicone implant had ruptured. When I awoke from my surgery he told me what he found and let me know that he replaced the implant. Not a big deal really and I was glad that he found it because I had no idea. He told me it was under warranty and that meant I would get about $3000 back. Fast forward four weeks, everything seemed to be healing nicely, but then I noticed an opening on my left breast where there was clearly a hole, meaning my implant was exposed. I was in office the very next morning and got stitches. Again, everything seemed to be healing nicely until three weeks later I awoke to the whole bottom of my left breast red, swollen, and hot. I knew it was infection. The same day, I started antibiotics. On June 3rd, I noticed a few spots on my breast that appeared to be see through, but were not open. My PS had me come in next morning to have a skin transfer from underneath my breast. He cut a small piece under the breast fold and twisted it up and sutured it to the bottom of my breast, essentially covering the area with the thin see through spots. My PS was very supportive and had me coming in every few days to check on my incision. The sutures are obnoxious and uncomfortable. I noticed a sort of rash a couple days ago and consulted my PS, but he said new tissue was moving in and we just have to stay the course til we’re in the clear. We had high hopes that another exposure wouldn’t happen, but now today, sadly.... there are several spots of implant exposure.
To say I’m devastated is an understatement, because I know exactly what another exposure means..... it means the implant needs to be removed completely and I will be without a breast for some time. I am now scheduled to have the implant removed on Tuesday. As a woman, knowing that I have to spend any extended amount of time with only one breast is a lot to take in. My breasts are a big part of my womanhood, as well as my appearance. I have so many thoughts running through my mind. It will be very noticeable as my implants are large, 800cc. I will have to go the whole summer with only one breast..... and as much as I should be happy that it’s only temporary, I can’t help but be super depressed about it.
I know I have to put on my big girl panties and deal with this like a strong woman, but I’m still sad about it. I will follow up after the implant removal on Tuesday.
