Hi there
Have any of you ladies ever had a becker implant changed to a permanent silicone one. I had a becker saline one put in about 18 months ago. I still have the port in and it feels very uncomfortable. The breast also feels like a deflated water bottle even though it has been topped up.
I recently saw my surgeon who is very reluctant to do the change saying that it is unnecessary and there will be no difference. He also said there was a possibility of infection and other complications.
I would appreciate any views Regards Chris
I had a saline one,became capsulated,so after 18 months had silicone one inserted.mine was very uncomfortable as well…I really hope you can this sorted.please keep us posted on this thread.Yes,may be a risk of infection, however,that is something that can be overcome.
Thank you ladies
Your replies have been a great help. Perhaps my surgeon has too many mx’s to do hence trying to fob me off. There seem to be far too many referrals. If I had the money I feel like going private just to get this journey over with.

I’m due to have expander put in mud may after Chemo then rads 3 weeks later. The plan is to replace with silicon at a later date.
Please keep posting as I’d like to follow your stories!
