500cc Saline Breast Implant Removal

I have loved the look of my breast implant since day one I got 500 cc in 2005. Fastward to a couple of years ago and I began to have different symptoms and had my doctor run test to find nothing wrong with me. The symptoms were minor at the beginning like brain fog, anxiety, digestive problems, I have now developed a capsule contraction in one side and my symptoms are much worse. I am constantly nauseous, migraines, anxiety, depression, metallic taste, weight gain, body aches, joint pain, libido gone, vision loss and many more other symptoms.I came across breast implants illness and I’m convinced that is what I have.

Was going to replace implants

Abutterflyinprocess
When I had my first appointment I felt like replacing them and moved forward with that surgery in mind. My doctor recommended a lift but I declined I’m not sure I want one I’m don’t know how I’ll feel about the scars. I went home and thought about why I ended up wanting to replace them when the whole time I just want them out, I guess I’m scared of not feeling feminine without them so I made another appointment to let him know I want them out. I went to the appointment and we agreed to remove implant and have a capsulectomy, since I already had paid for the implants they said they were going to issue me a refund through the mail. I hope they do because it’s only fair but what seems unfair is having paid already and having to wait in the mail for my refund.

Out of surgery

Abutterflyinprocess
I feel great haven’t been on any pain killers. The only discomfort are the drains and some swelling in my right breast.I got my dressing removed and I was surprised to see my incision to be at my nipple since I wanted the capsule out I thought it was suppose to be under breast. I don’t get to see my doctor til Wednesday because of the holidays to ask him. I was pleasantly surprised at the look of my breast one is swollen but the other isn’t it it seems like I do have some breast tissue left. Hopefully the size stays praying on it.

Hello thanks for sharing your story. Did the doctor tell you why your incision in on the nipple?

He said he didn’t need to go under the breast that he had the access he needed through the nipple incision.
