I feel a bit of a fraiud posting here as I have been BC-free officially for 5 years now, but still living with the implications I suppose!
Just found out that my reconstructed breast implant has now ruptured badly and I need to have it replaced. I actually had recon originally 10 years ago, so am way past BC, but the after-effects keep following me!
Originally, my left breast was completely reconstructed and my right was augmented to give me a ‘boob job’ effectively! The left went wrong so was re-done but went wrong again and I have just lived with it. Then after 6 years, the right one ruptured and I had that one replaced. No reason found for the rupture.
Now my left one has gone [again no apparent reason] so I now have 3 choices:
- replace the left one yet again and see how wonky it goes this time
- get rid of the implants altogether which will leave me assymetrical and potentially looking odd on the left and needing prosthesis
- opt to take out the augmentation on the right to go back to my previously small breast and have a smaller implant on the left which might go wonky again anyway
Anyone else had any experience of this?
