I couldn't hang

So I haven't been on here in a very long time, but I couldn't hang in there. I pretty much became very sick after I got my implants and went around to doctors for almost 2 whole years, only for every single one of them (including natural docs) to tell me it wasn't my implants. It was as if they were all in on it. By the time 2.5 years had approached after y implants, I decided to remove my implants. Miraculously, my symptoms have disappeared as quickly as they appeared:
constant yeast infections/ UTI/ VB (my vagina HATED my implants)
hair falling out
tired all the time
rashes all over my body
ears and belly button leaking clear fluid
memory loss
brain fog
hyper anxiety and depression
So yeah I took them out got a lift and fat transfer and I am better than ever.

Hey I totally understand. Glad your feeling better now. A lot of people including Dr don't understand or believe in BII. I think I been experiencing some symptoms of BII myself but I'm not certain or want to believe in it. Does that make sense? However I hope you get to feeling back to normal in no time at all. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Take care and happy continued healing dear.

Thank you SO much for sharing this! I’m currently in the midst of consults right now and look a lot like your befores. I don’t want to lose volume but also know that My body is not the type that will respond well to implants. I’m so intrigued by the fat transfer option. If you are up for sharing pics of the lift and fat transfer it would be immensely helpful. Thank you!

If you haven't gotten implants and you KNOW your body won't respond well to them....do yourself a huge favor and don't do it. In the end, I wasted $25k+ putting them in and taking them back out when I should've done the lift and fat transfer from the beginning like I started to.

Thank you so much for your insight! I have decided no implants thanks to you and others like you! I appreciate you sharing your story, it has made a difference.

I did loose a lot of volume but getting the implants out has given me my life back. With clothes on no one can tell I ever got implants let alone took them out. I am not encouraging people to remove their implants I am just saying know your body. I took mine out because I am pretty health conscience and I didn't want to teach my body to be sick all the time.

I noticed a small bump on the incision site of my right boob. As I was taking pictures for my PA, it burst. Out came blood, clear fluid and a white solid substance. IDK. I put some Antibiotic on it and am only hoping for the best.

Oh no, what did your ps say about it babe, I'd freak if that happened especially 4 months out. Thankyou fur your posts though I get mine done here in Australia on the 8th November I'm excited but nervous too xx

Hey! Yeah she said that it was a suture split and to apply triple antibiotic ointment on it 3 x per day. So that's what I am doing. I know it'll get better because I've had this happen a few weeks ago and since I paid attention early it didn't get too big (like pea sized) and it healed up nicely. Don't worry about getting a suture split. Some people do and some don't, I didn't think I would but I did and really it's no big deal at all. I'm thinking it might even help my scar to look more faded in the end... :)

It’s prob a spitting sutures as I believe you can get them up to 6 months after surgery. Good luck. What did the PS say? Happy healing

I will be going in to the office to have it checked but she said the same thing that you did. It doesn't hurt and I am just putting triple antibiotic ointment as advised and I know it'll close soon because I had another one like a few weeks ago...sigh....but other than that, everything is fine :)

Hey y'all... So I've been so bad about updating now that school is in. I don't even have good pictures but just this one of my suture opening just last month but it was closed by Friday. I'm doing great and so are these boobies. I may have convinced a friend of mine to get hers done too! I'll TRY TRY TRY to upload a new picture of the girls but I can't make promises
