From silicone to saline/silicone ruptured

I hate mammograms because they are painful and scare me that it would damage my implant. I had not had one in 5 years, so when my PCP suggested it, I decided to give in. My mammogram said I had a possible rupture. The MRI confirmed it. But if I had not had the mammogram, I could still have gooey silicone leaking into my chest! Who knows how long the implant had been ruptured. MRI’s are recommended every 3 years to screen for silicone ruptures but maybe just a mammogram would suffice? I’m just amazed at how NOT cohesive my ruptured implant was. once inside the body it became liquidy, gooey, and yellow!

Postop day 7- I went for my follow up appointment today. I got to see my old silicone implants before they send them back to Allergan. The right one looks perfectly intact like it should be. The left one is the one that was ruptured. These were put in 2011 and they were cohesive gel. These are not supposed to “leak- become runny, or liquify”. They are supposed to remain intact even if you cut them. But you can tell how much mine did! I am sore on my left with some bruising. He said the bruising is much less than he expected due to everything they had to do to remove the gel and capsule. I’m super glad to have silicone out of my body. The saline implants are very soft and so far I’m glad I exchanged the saline for silicone. I don’t think my pictures do them justice- they look like the left one is higher. But They look very similar to my before pictures in that manner. My left one is swollen and very tender. So I’ll post some pictures in a few week when things settle down.

Does anyone know how to delete an update or add photos to an update already posted? And why are my photos so magnified that you don’t see both breasts?
