Bad Experince with saline implants

February 17, 2006

In April 05, I had a breast lift with saline implants because of

weight loss. Right away I started having pain under right breast in

rib cage area. The Doctor that did the surgery said that it was

nothing, wear better support.

By June 05, both areas under my breast were hurting in the rib cage

area,my lower back was hurting like someone had hit me in my back and

it affected the way I was walking.

I went to see a chiropractor, who stated that I just had Arthritis in

my chest area, and my lower back needed adjustment.

Pain just got worst. In October 05, I had a M.R.I. done and it showed

herniated disc in T8-T9, the Doctor asked did I lift anything heavy or

hurt myself and I said no.

Started Physical therapy three times a week with no help.

Had blood work done and for some strange reason the Doctor can not

explain my liver enzymes have more than trippled.

It hurts to breath, it hurt to walk or to even turn over in the bed, I

am just about cripple.

I went back to the Dr. that put the implant in and told him it looks

like they are leaking cause my breast are sagging. He said that he

needs to pull some more skin and to bring the left breast in more

centered because it pointed to the left. I said that my body is to

sore for you to do anything to me, it will just have to wait, but he

dismissed me when I mentioned my chest and back pain.

In January 06, I went to see another plastic surgeon and she said that

I had a lot of scar tissue, and injected the site with liocain, still

the pain did not ease. Finally In Feb.06,I went back to her and stated

that I want these implants out! She examine me a little more closer

this time and said that the implant are sitting on your rib cage, that

could be causing the problem. I said I want them out, I was doing well

before I had them put in. So in March 06, I will have them taken out.

I will keep you all informed on my progress. I have confidence in my

new Plastic surgeon. She cares and that is so very important. My

advice to all is to do your research before any surgery, Prayer is

important,because you want to be doing this for the right reasons.

I am so very glad to have found this site and I hope that I can help

any one.

Take care of yourself
