7 Months Post Opt ……thinking of removing !!- United Kingdom, GB

UPDATED FROM Sweet31

So this is where I am

So after seeing that horrible surgeon, I mainly said in crying. My doctor but my symptoms down to stress as I have recently separated from my partner of 10 years, my blood pressure continued to rise. I was experiencing hair loss and joint pain along with the other symptoms, my doc thinks I'm depressed ! I don't think I am, only with the way I'm feeling. I am 31 but I feel more like 80, my family are noticing a real difference in me as I stay in most of the time, my kids are the only thing keeping me going.

I've been back and forth to my docs who is treating me for raynaurd's ? She has done loads of blood test and they have come back negative which is good but my doc now thinks most of the things are related to stress, I'm not convinced. I have a hospital appointment tomorrow at the breast clinic to check out this lump. Hopefully everything will be fine, my joint pain is getting worse but going to work is actually helping me keep busy and happy as I work in a school with energetic children lol.

I've done some research on explant but I'm not going to lie I am pooing my pants at the thought. I have spoke to my doc about it and I am trying to save at the same time. I know I should go back to my surgeon but feel to weak to put up a fight.

Right now I'm feeling more positive most days, before there was apart of me that wanted to keep these things as I am scared of surgery, recovery and outcome. But I miss being healthy, I miss dancing around with my little ones and not getting out of breath or burning.

All you women are so brave and I no I will need to be too x

So I'll keep u updated.....spk soon

Dr Khan is a very good surgeon and was very popular. He is quick witted but has little time to see patients. I saw him about four times before my opt as I was so nervous and he answered all my questions. I will be going back to him with this problem so I'll keep you updated.

I'm so mad for you. I think we know when something is wrong and it sounds like you are just being dismissed. That must be infuriating for you. It's not normal to have a lump! I hope you get some answers soon! Best wishes to you

Hi there I am new to this site and have found it a great wealth of info....I am uk based also and had 600 cc silicone implants in 2006 and have just discovered my right implant has ruptured and collapsed ( I found a lump) I went also went to see mr khan at transform as my original ps is retiring ....he was very unsympathetic...rude and abrupt...on examination he said he couldn't feel a lump...but that my boobs were a bit low...;0( and I explained I had had a scan and mammogram the previous day at my local hospital which confirmed this....he just went on and on about new implants...and I would have to have a different size as they don't do the ones fitted and it's not life threatening ...bla bla ....but can do them in 2 weeks...I then got a price nearly £5000.... I have had no fall or blow to the implant...so don't understand how this has happened....I too am considering removal as my local hospital said it has to come out but they can't replace but will remove both....just worried about what they will look like....but I will be implant free....hope you get the results you wish...and may I suggest another surgeon xxxx

Hi Slbaxter, I intent on seeing another surgeon as he is way too rude. I went to the my local hospital for an examination and they are sending me for a breast scan. I feel like most of the docs think I am imaging symptoms, but my doc did feel the lump. Everything takes long through the doc but as I have only had my implants in a short while, I am still paying them off so don't have any spare money at the moment. It is a scary thought having an explant but if it's needed then its a must. When these things are out I don't want anymore surgery. Thanks for sharing and I hope u get the results u want too, message me if u need to talk or anything ......good luck Hun

Hi sweet31....I too went to my gp who refered me over to my local hospital I had a scan and a mammogram which confirmed the rupture and collapse ....I have as today contacted the doctor at my local hospital about removal....I have thought about it day and night for over 2 weeks and think this is best....even if I had the money I wouldn't go To dr khan after his ignorance . I too got the impression that they all thought I was imagining things honey...but we know our breasts best....it is a very scary thing to have done....but needs must and yes I agree no further surgery...which is what i have had to weigh up also....am very worried after having them for nearly 8 years and 600cc implants what they are going to look like but I guess will cross that bridge...it's nice to chat with ppl who are going through the same things....a lot of ppl don't understand....take care honey spk soon and good luck [RS bleep]

Hi Sweet31 Just came across you forum, had my implants with Dr Khan too n went to see him last month with on n off breast pain, n did mention about explant, n his comment was "you would not look good"! N he gave me a form to hv MRI with a clinic in Harleys Street that going cost around £200. I never did go as I hv made up my mind for explant n hv a consultation date on 21/1/15. Agree that he is not at all helpful or sympathetic. Did u hv your explant as hvnt seen your update, Xx

Hi sweet 31, you'll absolutely look as much as you were before if you explant! 8 months is a blink! If you feel unconfortable, go ahead, you will be so much happier (and go to see another surgeon, someone with some experience in explants). Big hugs and wishes.

Thank you Valevale, I really do hope I can find peace from removal. At least I would like to find some nice surgeons with experience……….has anyone got any recommendations of surgeons in London??

Oh my god he finds like an arrogant man. You know your body mate, I'd it doesn't feel right it's probably not. Do what ever it takes to feel good again and I'd go to another ps for their thoughts and opinions. Hope you sort it out and God luck with everything. Sometimes we need to be on both sides of the grass, and there are times where it's not always greener on the other side... (having the big boobs). Hoe you really find peace and happiness

Hey Hun, I had my implants removed at the Westbourne Clinic in Birmingham for under £1000. I'm pretty happy with my results and won't be ever returning to implants. I'm 28 and had mine out a year and a half ago but was having similar issues to you before my explant. Hope all goes well :-)

Wow £1000 that's a good price, I'll look into that thanks Hun xx

I'm sorry you're having such discomfort with your implants. They are definitely not for everyone. Please continue to keep us posted and let us know when you come to a decision you feel at peace with.

I agree thats its not for everyone my friend has had her in for 4 years no problems and does not want to live without them. I always wanted bigger boobs like us all but subtle ones. I never liked the way they felt but thought this was normal and I would grow into them. I am no stop thinking but now its on funding……..i'll keep you guys posted
