I am in a great deal of pain. The textured backing on the tear shape design is tearing at my chest wall. The pain is unbearable. Avoid this product at all costs. I've been crying since I woke up from surgery. I want these removed ASAP. The FDA should've never approved this disaster. Think long and hard.

Natrelle 410 Tear Shaped Implants. BAD PRODUCT

Disappointed1075

The Allegan Natrelle 410 tear drop shaped implants are horrible. Their textured backing has a constant tearing feeling in your chest. The pain is excruciating. The appearance is horrible. I am flat chested, uneven and I have no cleavage. Keep in mind, plastic surgeons are the ultimate sales men. If they don't sell you a surgery, they don't get paid. Do your research. You'll thank me later.

Failure of the Natrelle410 and PS

Disappointed1075

I regret every decision I've made so far regarding the cancer and this reconstruction. Right here I sit at my keyboard crying. I haven't stopped crying since my PS destroyed me. On 03/31/2017 I lost both breasts. Left breast had cancer and I had the surgeon take the right, just in case. The PS left me mutilated and deformed. So like a fool, I though maybe this is how it's supposed to be and allowed him to continue. Mistake #1. When the breasts were taken the PS also installed an Allegan tissue expander. From 3/31/17 - 9/20/17 all I did was complain that the tissue expanders were constantly ripping apart my chest wall. Did the PS listen, obviously not. To my anger he put in a Allegan Natrelle 410 tear shaped implant. Which by the way has the same ripping and tearing feeling. After a lot of research on the WWW (which doctors don't want you to do) I found it's the textured back that is the reason why it's constantly uncomfortable. So why he put in another textured devise is beyond my comprehension. I am in so much pain I asked the PS to remove these torture devises. It's beyond me how anyone live a full and happy life with these horrible things. The FDA should've kept them outlawed, but I'm guessing with enough payola the FDA is approve just about anything. The answer I got was wait 6-8 weeks until they settle in and you'll be happy. That was not the answer I'm looking for. The pain is so excruciating Mr. PS gave me Dillaudid 2.0. I asked the PS, does that mean I'm gonna stay doped up for the next 6-8 weeks? That was when he told me he wanted to send me to a pain management doctor. So what is a PM doctor going to do? Meditation (LOL), Nerve Blockers (really...LOL). The only way to get rid of the pain is to remove these disgusting things. Besides being painful I look hideous. Please people I pray that you will avoid this Natrelle 410. Don't do this for me, do this for you. Look at the stats. A lot of PS will not use them. Many women as getting cancer again because of the unhealing wounds on their chest wall. This is a product that should not be used. And to think my PS is lauded as being one of the best in NJ. At this time I am unable to name him because, I don't know why.

I regret having reconstruction...it was hideously ugly AND painful. It has been 29 years and I still have pain every day even though it was removed. If I had it to do over, I would never have had it done. Your pictures are hard ro make out. I can’t really tell what I am looking at.
I thing having them out is a very logical option.
Wishing you the best.
