I would love to hear from others as to their experience.
I had this operation on Nov 3rd and unfortunately things have gone wrong.
The way this op is done is by cutting out the nipple and, for want of a better word, dig out all the breast tissue through a relatively small hole. Then the implant is inserted.
In my case I kept having fluid build up which kept having to be drained and after a month I developed a massive infection and the implant had to be taken out. I am still having trouble with the would healing as a hole opened up and I constantly have fluid draining.
My surgeon has now suggested that I have all the skin removed and it sounds like he is not prepared to give me another implant. I do have very mild diabetes and I smoke, but had reduced my smoking to 4-5 roll ups prior to the op and did not smoke for a time afterwards.
I was actually diagnosed in 2008 but was in Letrazol. Considering that I don’t need any other treatment like chemo or radio I now regret that I let myself be scared into having the op done now.
I would love to hear from anyone who had this procedure done and what their experiences were.
In my view putting an implant in straight away with that op was not a good thing to do.
