The formation of a very thick scar tissue capsule surrounding an implant occurs in a small per cent of patients undergoing breast augmentation. This results in a very hard breast that can sometimes be painful. This can be interpreted as "rejection" of the implant, but there are many theories as to its cause. The primary recognized cause is an internal bleed immediately following the procedure. Infection is a rare complication of this surgery.
t done any measuring but I stand next to my teen who is a small B and we look pretty similar in size. I looked at them for the first time yesterday and I freaked out. I cried, I'm depressed, I'm having anxiety over how small they are, I don't want to go into public. Is this normal? I keep telling myself that I'm being silly, get over it. It is what it is. I've read about other people who have had this done and they love it. I think I am in shock.
I had a breast augmentation in May to fix where I had breastfed my first baby. We hadn't planned on getting pregnant again but I am currently 9 weeks. I still plan on breastfeeding and am curious to what my augmentation will look like afterwards. Has anyone else previously had a breast aug and breastfed after that could fill me in on what to expect?
I am scheduled for a stereotactic biopsy for an area of calcifications that were found in my right breast. My questions are, what are my chances that this could be a sign of cancer, and praying that its not, would I still be a candidate for breast augmentation surgery? Im worrying myself sick over all of this and very nervous about the results!
m scared and Is wondering if there is any mamas out there that has bf with breast augmentation and what was your experience I want to breastfeed but not sure if I'm even going to produce enough milk, also what was the outcome after you finish bf did your boobs sag or stood the same.
Oh yeah, chemo has something to do with it. There is a study going on right now at UCLA about chemobrain and it's been listed on the Hopkins website as well. Your route with cancer has similarities with mine. Two port surgeries, mastectomy,chemo, radiation, mastectomy and DIEP perforator flap reconstruction. I went back to work 6/15/09 and seriously had issues remembering what I do and having to teach it at the same time. You learn coping strategies, thank goodness.
I had breast augmentation 15 years ago and my left breast is still numb on one side. Touching it is like touching someone else, it's creepy because I can't feel it. The nipple feeling came back after awhile but not very much. I do not like for it to be touched at all. My husband has just learned to stay away from that one! I would give anything to go back to the way I was before.

t heard anything for that week, I went ahead with my scheduled breast augmentation. A few days after my augmentation I get a voicemail from my doctor's office stating they were calling to schedule my mammogram. I thought this was a mistake since I had had it done already. Well after a couple of calls and playing phone tag, I finally speak with the woman and she states that I need to come back to do a compression view and possibly an ultrasound.
Hello, My name is Ally and I'm a 25 year old trans women from Vermont. I havent been able to work at all due to my transition and finding someone willing to hire me. I cannot describe the level of improvement in my quality of life that would result from breast implants. Do you have any advice on how i can get a reduced rate for implants? This is not simply cosmetic but something i need to be seen, and treated like the lady I am. Thank you so much for this forum and for the help you give!
i went back six months later as my right breast fells slightly harder and there is a lump on the side its not a hard lump i can manipulate it back in, the surgeon recommended to massage my breast and hopefully it would improve if not to wait 18 months after my surgery until all the swelling has gone down.
I opted for a breast reduction, which tremendously helped with the pain. My surgeon said the surgery went great, and I was very hopeful that I would still be able to breastfeed when I started a family. Fast forward 6 years, and my husband and I are expecting our first in February. The lactation nurse was very honest, and said it's certainly a possibility, but we jusy won't know until baby is here.
I have a breast augmentation scheduled for Tuesday. Friday I got the results from my mammogram and they detected calcifications on my left breast that were not there 2 years ago. They would like me to have a follow up mammogram in 6 months. Both my breast surgeon and GYN have talked on the phone to each other and the likelihood of this being anything other than benign is very low.
I got a breast augmentation almost 2 years ago. I'm 25 weeks pregnant now and am very nervous how bad it will hurt if it will hurt at all after my breast fill with milk considering there's an implant taking up so much room. Does breast feeding ruin them?
This is not a complaint that I am aware of occurring in many years of medical practice and breast augmentation surgery. Your post-operative infections may have resulted in increased vascularity to the area, particularly if that is the area of your incision. Sometimes laser therapy may be helpful. Assuming your subsequent surgery occurs without complication, I would not expect it to make this problem worse.
