I had saline implants done in 2004. I was a B cup and wanted to have bigger breasts. I had surgery and turned out to be a 34D. I did not experience any problems throughout the years and even though I knew that eventually I would have to have them replaced, I though it would be at least 20 years. Well, now after 7 years one of the implants has leaked and now I have a smaller breast. I consulted with my surgeon and he told me that the manufacturer would replace and also pay a portion of the surgery.
I had my first surgery over 10 years ago. These implants formed scar tissue really bad. I could not even get up from a lying down position, the pain was to great. So I went to a different surgeon about 6 1/2yrs ago. He removed all of the scar tissue did a life and put in saline implants. I loved them the were beautiful. Then, I was changing my clothes and realized one of my breast and ruptured. Now I am stuck with one big breast and one deformed looking one. The capsule inside my body pokes me consistantly and it is painful and irritating.
I am 22 and had my implants about a year and a half ago. I was a 34A, wanted a c cup but with 400cc implants I now wear a 34DD. I am 5'7' and used to be in really good shape. My nipples are highly sensitive and I can't feel much on the underside of my breasts. Everyone told me I would get used to them but I am just not happy. My surgeon told me since I am so young and since my implants are under the muscle I would bounce.back as if I had never had surgery in the first place. I have an appointment in 2 weeks with another surgeon for another consultation and am hoping he'll say the same thing.
I have had my PIP implants for 7 years and will have them removed very soon. I am currently on the waitting list on the nhs for removal.
I had a scan done and they appear to be intact,which is reasuring but I still want them out without replacement.
I am very pleased they are going to be removed as i hate them.I feel more self concious about my boobs now than when they were small.I thought that it would make me feel better having bigger boobs,and it did for a little while but i now try and cover up to avoid people staring at them.
I have had implants for several years now(about 7) I am having a third surgery in 2 days to have them removed. My doctor was a complete disaster. He never listened to me wanting to have them under the muscle the first time . I had capsular contracture in both breasts only to have a second surgery to fix them. I once again asked him to put them under the muscle,, the doctor once again putting them above the muscle leading to my third surgery. --present day 2yrs after second surgery
I went for my consultation a month ago he is still wanting to leave them in and put them below the muscle...
I had my PIPs implants fitted in Nov '04 with Harley Medical Group and touch wood have no real problems. The ultrasound didn't show anything and I need to find out from HMG about my MRI scan, they've yet to call me so am going on Friday to find out about this.
I first had my breast implants implanted 15yrs ago when I was 20. A second operation was performed in 2001 which used PIP implants - I was told this by my surgeon just before Christmas. On Monday (9th Jan '12) the ultrasound scan revealed they're both leaking. I was also informed I will need some lymph nodes removing as they're enlarged. All I want is to have the implants removed, however, I'm worried there will be a lot of excess skin left which may cause me to have body issues yet again - I had them done in the first place because of this. I feel very alone and scared.
