Breast Augmentation with Adrian Richards, Harley Street. 300cc, Moderate Profile Subglandular Nagor Implants - London, GB

Had my operation yesterday. The right implant definitely needed to come out. I can't recommend Adrian, Aggie and everyone I've dealt with at Aurora, they have all bean so supportive. Although it's a rare complication, Adrian spotted it very early on which stopped it from getting like some of the horror pictures I've seen on the Internet!! I would have never suspected the infection required surgery; it was just a tiny hole that wouldn't heal and unlike others who have had infection, I was not unwell and did not have a fever. It transpires the infection was not just at the incision but around the implant, which had come to the surface. If you're considering breast surgery, although you need to be aware of the risks, I hope my experience doesn't put you off. It's such a rare complication; i still can't get my head around the 1% statistic! I'm extremely grateful to Adrian and Aggy at Aurora for everything they have done to look after me.

As some of you know, I have had ongoing issues with a weeping right incision. Unfortunately although I thought it had healed at one point, it had in fact not. It is infected and antibiotics have not helped it. I went to a check up and Adrian was of the view that there would be no choice but to remove the right implant urgently. This is extremely bad luck. I understand that they have only seen about 3 cases of this in 10 years. The chances of developing infection rrequiring removal is 1%. Someone has to be in the 1% bracket and it just so happens to be me! Have to have it removed urgently so I'm having an operation tomorrow. Will have to wait at least 2 months before I can have it put back in and will have a prosthesis to wear until then. Such a shame because my implants are beautiful!

Had my follow up appointment today with Aggie at Aurora today. There was a stitch that hadn't dissolved on my right side, which Adrian removed. It's likely that my body could have been trying to expel it - hence the weeping. I've got to carry on with the inadine for another 48 hours on the right and then I can completely get rid of the dressings. The dressings are completely off the left side which has closed up.
I am now cleared to:
ditch the surgical bra and wear underwired bras (introducing them slowly) (Yay)
sleep on my side - hooray!
wear no bra at night - recommended to get the air to my incisions
apply whatever scar creams I choose

I asked about massaging but Aggie said I didn't need to do it as they are already soft.

Overall, very happy.
