After 7 years one of the implants has leaked

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 looked great before and am sad and disappointed in myself

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 am very pleased they are going to be removed as i hate them.

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 want them out

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'll be doing my best to stop other women from having it done!

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.

Government and some private clinics aren't taking enough responsibility.

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.
