Breast Implants Coming out After Infection - Huntington Beach, CA

WORTH IT$1,000

Ok so where do i start.....i had breast implants in 04 the doctor had placed the pocket too high and for a year my nipples were at the bottom and over full on top. I was not happy with them so i decided to get them fixed in 05. I had gotten 500cc the first time and went with 700cc the second, way toooo big. I had 2 children after them so they got even bigger.

So a couple of months ago i decided i was done with the big watermelons and wanted to get them out with a full lift. So i found a doctor and talked about it with him, he told me he wanted to put smaller implants in because i wouldn't have upper pole fullness and wouldnt be happy. I didn't want to get implants again but got scared of how they would look without...so decided he knew best and to go with the smaller implants. I had my surgery March 5, about a month ago. I got 230 cc filled to 300 high profile under the muscle...and a anchor lift.

Well last week i started to have pain in my right breast, the incision hurt underneath and was very red, i went to my dr. and he said i had a infection to not use my right arm and he put me on Cipo antibiotics. I went home that day and around 5 i was in bed and coughed all of a sudden i felt my shirt get wet, i stood up and lifted my shirt and saw all this grreen fluid pouring down my stomach and pants, it was seriously like a horror movie. If you have children the way i can describe it was like your water breaking but out of my boob. I just stood in the shower crying and shaking with the biggest fear to open my sports bra, i didn't want to look. All i was picturing was my incision open with my muscle hanging out! I called my fiance to come home and that something was wrong. I didn't look till he got there. When i did look it wasen't as bad as i thought but the bottom of the incision was open a little bit.

I called my Dr. and he said not to eat or drink anything because he probebly will be taking me back to the OR in the morrning. I stared crying, i didn't want to go into surgery again. I got there in the morning and they preped me to go back, he told me he was probebly going to have to remove the implant and i can get it put back in in 6 months. So i said ok and went into surgery. I got home and was so upset thinking i cant belive this happend to me. The next morning i went back for my post op i didn't want to look at my boob without the implant, i was picturing this flat piece of skin just hanging. I looked and it was fine! I told the dr. it didn't look bad at all, i liked it. I came home and kept looking at it, it was acually kinda what i wanted in the first place. I acually like it better the the one with the implant, it's cute and kinda reminded me of my original boobs.

So i have came to the decision to have him take the other one out. I go in next friday the 20th. I really cant wait to just get this other one out of me. It feels good on the one with it out, i like the feeling of nothing being in there. It sucks that i have to go into surgery a 3rd time in a month in a half but i dont want this other one. Im too scared of infection again if i get it replaced and to think i would have to have another surgery in 10 years to replace them. I dont want to go through that more surgeries and risk of infection, its not worth it. I have had big boobs for 7 years so it is kinda wierd having my little ones back, well one little one right now lol. I already see girls on TV with implants and question getting it out because i want to feel sexy, isen't that horrible. I feel like i need big boobs to feel sexy :( But honestly i see that and feel sad that i wont have them but then just picture green fluid running down my stomach and that feeling goes away lol! Its just not worth it. Hey there's always push up bras right! So just waiting for next week so i can get this other one out! Im scared to go into surgery again but i just have to think positive.

Hi Kimt. Ouch! That looks so sore! I agree that you're doing the right thing. Your right one looks so much better now. And just remember that after this surgery, you won't need anymore and won't have to worry about implants again! All the best, I hope it goes well for you. x

I'm sorry you have to go through surgery again, and the green eruption sounds absolutely horrific, you poor thing.

But it's over and I'm on to a natural healthy me! I'm going to update how everything goes, don't know what I would do without this site, thanks for the support!

I am so sorry to hear you have been through such an ordeal. And I am relieved to see that you are on the mend. When they take the other one out you can start a new chapter and move forward completely natural. The boob with the implant out already looks fantastic and I know that you are going to enjoy the natrual feeling that having them out gives you. Hope all goes well and wish you a speedy recovery

What an awful experience! At least this will be your last time under the knife for your boobs. Which by the way are totally already big! you didn't even need implants! Don't worry about your surgery everything will be fine and then you can begin your healing process. What Dr. did you go to? I'm curious why it is so cheap? I am in LB and am having mine explanted next month.

Yes it has been rough! But after Friday on to healing and getting back to my life :) I know if I would of known how much tissue I had I would of just got the lift but they talked me into implants :/ The $1000 is cause I had the infection and they took that implant out he didn't charge me to remove it just had to pay the anisethia fee $500 he told me he wouldn't charge me to put it back in 6 months but I decided to remove the other one so I have to pay $500 again for the anesthiea. I don't think they charged me cause I just had the surgery a little i over a month ago. I paid $6500 for the surgery lift/implants. I'm sure if I came back a year later and wanted to remove them they would charge me but since i just had surgery and there were complications I'm just having to pay the anesthiea.
April 18, 2012
I guess thats nice of the dr to not charge you the full amount again. Thats one good thing about it. I totally understand about being talked into getting implants. I was a 34c before getting implants and all I wanted was a lift. I was hesitant though because I didn't really want the scar and after 3 consultations of the drs saying the same thing to me. Oh the scar is so bad, and your so young, and you don't have kids, just get an implant and it will lift them up. No, it did not. I ended up getting silicone 650cc and went to a huge 34DD. They are huge! and I am a pretty tiny person. I'm only 53' I have had them in 12 months now and am schedule on may 29th to get them removed. I just want them out and will wait and see how they look after time. I can always choose to get a lift later if Iam super unhappy with the way they look. Omg good luck on Fri!

Yeah it's messed up on how they all talk you into getting them, they said I would be depressed and unhappy but I'm totally happy with just the lift. I know what you mean about having big implants, it's so uncomfortable. Your gonna so much better after you remove them, the one without the implant feels good, it's gonna feel so much better hugging with out these boulders and wearing cute shirts again. I'm sure you will look just fine with them out and like you said if you need a lift you can get one later :)
April 19, 2012
yeah I've seen pictures on here and 9/10 people look so much better without the weird looking implants in, they just look so unnatural. The pictures I've seen of lifts without implants look so good too. LIke cute, normal boobs. I am actually really looking forward to having them out. I can finally wear tanktops again without looking like a [RS bleep] lol. I will be thinking of you on Fri and sending you good thoughts! I'm sure it will be fine and you can begin your new chapter in your life being all natural! =)

I know I like the natural cute boob look, I use to like the big boob look but after 7 yrs with them I'm over it. I know big biobs are not fashionable at all! Can't wait to wear tanks and shirts comfortably. Thank you for the thoughts for Friday I'm nervous but its gotta be done!

It's over!!!! Thank god. Surgery went well was only under a little over an hour. I had a panik attack before I went in, in the prep room :/ ugh it sucked I hate them, I haven't had one like that in awhile. It feels good to be implant free! In some pain though, I'm taking vicidin . I I had some drainage this past week on the right side that was infected the incision was open a little tiny bit again leaking a watery red fluid not green thank god! I think he took the stiches out and redid them or something because it hurts I don't know if he reopened it again cause he said he had to drain it, I just want that side iti heal dang it! I have another drain >_< on the side that was infected. Boo, I hate when they take it out it feels so uncomfortable. I just want to see my boobs how the other one looks, did I get stiches again, did he reopen the incision again on the infected side... All these thoughts I'm thinking , I will find out tomorrow. Well at least it's over now, just need the healing fairy to sprinkle some healing dust on me :)
