Lymphoedema and implants

This may be of interest…

I correspond by e-mail with a lymphoedema physio friend in Oz and have mentioned the lady who lives near me who developed lymphoedema after non-cancer cosmetic breast surgery

(See breastcancercare.org.uk/forum/lymph-node-transplant-interesting-encounter-t23598.html)

This was her reply:

“The lady you told me about getting Lympho after implants doesn’t surprise me. When implants are put on the chest wall under the muscles there is less damage to the lymphatics. They used to put them just under the skin where the lymphatics are!”

Food for thought?

X to all
