Avatar n tn Thank you Dr for your answer. My Dr said it was the valve of the implant, but now the pain is more often and my whole breast is getting hard. The filling of the other breast is soft and it doesn't hurt. Dr. I would like to know if a saline implant can change from soft to hard and what causes the pain. Is this reason for removal?
Avatar f tn In your case the pocket is obviously larger than the implant, but the nature of the saline implants, which can readily fold and ripple, makes this folding both palpable and visible. This is more prominent in some patient than in others, particularly where there is thin covering of breast tissue over the implants. The real solution to this problem is the use of gel implants, which feel more natural and are much less likely to fold and ripple.
Avatar n tn I have had both implant types. I started out with saline implants 10 years ago. From day 1 with those saline implants, I had a lot of rippling and they felt like water bags under my skin. I could even feel them slosh around sometimes when I moved, Well, last year I started having very sharp pains on the bottom on my right breast. When I felt around the painful area, I felt an oblong sized lump! I was terrified.
Avatar f tn For a double mastectomy, which implant would be the safest? Silicone, saline, or biological? How proven are the implants made from fatty tissue in abdomen? Thanks.
Avatar f tn The relationship would be even more controversial if you had gel implants. Removal of the saline implant can be performed with little risk under local anesthesia. the surgery is best performed after your other medical issues are resolved and you have clearance from your cardiologist. Recovery from explanatation can be quite easy if the implant are removed without performing a capsulectomy (my recommendation) but you need to be seen and evaluated by a plastic surgeon in the meantime.
Avatar m tn because the bulky area underneath my upper left lip, every time when I smile, that part of lip become thick and relative big when compare to the right side of my upper lip as the bulky surgical area underneath the lip push against the lip when I smile. will this be permanent? or it is too early to say now and bulkyness could reduce over time as time pass by and my smile will become normal? Thanks.

Avatar n tn I am considering getting saline implants. I'm allergic to tree nuts, peanuts, fish, shellfish, erythromiacin, and iodine. What are the chances of me being allergic to the silicone shell implant? Also, if an allerigic reaction happened what would be the symtons? Would severe anaphylasis happen?
Avatar f tn I had a dental implant in the mandible 6 months ago. After complaining of tingling sensations & numbness in the chin & lip, forward to where the implant is, the oral surgeon replaced it with a shorter one after one month. Another 5 months have passed, it has healed nicely & a crown has been attached by my dentist. The tingling is still there. When I touch my chin, my chin & lip tingle. After a routine cleaning & the crown, it seems a little bit worse.
Avatar n tn i had breast implants in 10 years ago i am 44 i have problems with one of them i need both replaced i am thinking cohesive gel implant i have saline is it safe even though i have had since birth congenital heart disease ebsteins anomally to get the cohesive gel or just stick with the lesser of the evils saline
6918915 tn?1395932871 I have saline implants and was able to breastfeed just fine. If your implant is under the muscle it shouldn't disrupt your mammory glands. People that have breast augumentations have the same chance of bfing as some one who doesn't..according to my surgeon. I had a much bigger supply than all of my friends that didn't have their breasts done.
Avatar m tn A couple days later I called my oral surgeon and told him that my left chin and lower lip are numb. He asked me to come to the office to back out the implant a millimeter or two because it might be touching a nerve. On 5/23 the oral surgeon backed out implants #31 and #29. He did tell me that he suspected that implant #29 was possibly compressing a nerve area. Today is 5/30 and the numbness has not gone. Area around tooth #28, #27 and # 26 is very numb (lower lip and chin only).
Avatar f tn 14 years ago at age 29, I had a mastectomy with reconstruction with a saline implant. Lately I have had a lot of pain underneath and around the implant area, with radiation of this pain into the trapezius muscle in my upper back. I also have occasional sharp pain on that side upon taking a deep breath. Could this be caused by implant contracture or should I get it checked for the possibility of recurrence even after this period of time?
1378404 tn?1278974651 From your description, it sounds like you have excess skin, breast ptosis and visibility of the saline implants. The advise for implant replacement with mastopexy by your consulting plastic surgeon sounds appropriate. A surgical fee of between $10 and $15K sounds correct. You would need to finance this procedure or find a sponsor.
Avatar f tn This includes for saline or silicone breast implants. What type do you have? If they are saline, leaking implants are not a risk. And currently, saline implants are what is typically used. Is one breast or both changing in size? That's another way to know if there is an issue with the implant. Do you feel any lumps? Do you do regular breast exams? There is one type of breast plant that has recently been linked to cancer which involves implants that have a textured surface.
Avatar n tn this has nothing to do with ttc but i am ttc and i have to know before i make a big decision.so i plan on having my breast done before summer comes. i want the saline implants at about mayb a 30c or a 38b i now wear a 28a or sometimes i can even go without bras or were childrens training bras.
Avatar f tn 58 yrs old with saline implants for 24 years. I had mammogram in July 2017 microcalcs found Birad 3 with 6 month follow up. Did the follow up in May 2018, a second radiologist said 2 areas of micr calcs BIRAD 4 with changes since last mammogram in July 2017, recommended biopsy.. 2 days before biopsy a 3rd radiologist called me to say he felt the the calcifications were in the capsule of the implant & biopsy not necessary.
Avatar n tn I had a chin implant placed exactly one year ago following 2 surgeries to bring my lower jaw forward. My chin since the first surgery has always been numb in spots but I always got my huge smile back. Following the chin implant I do not have as big of a smile. He secured the chin implant to the titanium plates used on my jaw surgery which made me mad. Since he used those the chin implant isnt even, even with my real chin it sits up a tiny bit and its not centered.
Avatar n tn I am from MS and in 2001 moved back to be closer to my family and aging mother. Now the implant on the right leaked. Something happened at some time because I now look deformed. And the worst part is my financial situation is nothing compared to when I had them done. The left one is flat and sagging and the right, you can see the outlines of the implant & the loss of fluid.
Avatar m tn 2007 I had my left breast augmented to match better the side which already received a saline implant due to shrinkage of the flap previously operated on. Both implants at the time were changed to silicone gel (previous repairs had necessitated use of a saline implant to augment flap shrinkage). I am very frustrated as I just had surgery in June to correct ptosis of the left breast and severe encapulation in the right. I regret ever having gone this route. I feel deformed.
Avatar n tn I have had one implants removed due to terrible pain from the implant sticking into my lower lip. Now the left side of my chin and lower lip is so painful I leave my dentures out most of the time. I keep them in while at work, but I'm in misery all day. There is severe pain in my upper gums at night. I sleep with my head elevated to an almost sitting position. My dentist and oral surgeon don't have any suggestions. Is there anything I can do to relieve the discomfort?
Avatar f tn What is your implant full of, saline? Did the doc think it was possible for it to just be a leak?
Avatar f tn Cheilitis glandularis affects the lower lip almost exclusively, although it has been reported to affect the upper lip. It presents as black marks due to puncta of the salivary gland swelling. Then viscous clear secretions and crusting may be there. I suggest you to consult a good dermatologist and get a culture sensitivity of the fluid sample from lip and biopsy of the lip done to confirm the diagnosis.
Avatar f tn I have saline breast implants over the muscle. They will be ten yrs old in march. over the past six months nearly every bone & joint in my body has started hurting. I'm having chest wall pain and if I don't wear a bra every second, it feels as if my left breast is actually pulling the muscles away from my rib cage. My left breast also feels bruised on top. I don't think it's changed size, and I don't feel a lump.
Avatar f tn I had the same thing 14+ years ago, and had a modified radical mast on the L. I elected saline implant. The tissue expander was implanted at the same time as the MRM. I was on a horse on my 10th post op day post mastectomy/expander placement (gingerly of course, and without my doctors approval). I was not an equestrian professional, I only rode and jumped recreationally a couple times a week. I'm happy with my end result.
Avatar f tn Hi, I was supposed to have my saline solution ultrasound today so the Dr would know where to implant the embryos in the future. It didn't go well and the Dr was unable to get the catheter through my cervix. She ended up stopping and deciding to wait until I'm under sedation during egg retrieval. At that point she will dialate my cervix (or uterus, I'm really unsure) for a more clear picture. My question is why was this not an issue at my HSG?
Avatar f tn s, and every antibotic on the market I finally had a right simple mastectomy in 12/00. I was great for a month until I decided to do reconstruction with a saline implant. With in a short time, mass formations started again and back to steroids and antibotics. The implant was removed...the area improved. I was 30 y.o., stupidily wanted to be "whole" and attempted reconstruction again. Well this time I went with my own tummy tissue...
