Hello girls, so sorry I’ve not been in contact for so long, I’ve been in hospital about my boobs for 9 days. Everything was and still is perfect with the surgery and I would praise mr Singh to the moon and back, however. One breakfast morning I was sat on the sofa planning my day and I went to stand up and at the same time sneezed. Unfortunately as I did I burst a blood vessel in my chest above my implant and below my collar bone. It’s called a haemotoma and it’s a big pool of blood that then heals into a clot. Well mine started and within less than a minute was the size of two tennis balls side by side. It’s because of the weakness in my muscle from the surgery and the pressure of my sneeze that caused a vessel to pop. It was the most excruciating pain I’ve ever felt and I was later that day told by a surgeon he would compare it to having a wide awake implant rammed into you. ( lovely feeling as you can imagine and because my skin was so tight anyway from the implant and then the only skin left was filled with blood) anyway. After a piss about with ambulances and waiting at the hospital for over 3 hours of horrific pain falling in and out of conciousness due to the pain and shock I was finally examined and given some morphine. Lots of hallucinating and laughing, crying and being sick later I was admitted to a ward and then two more finally ending in a breast clinic on day 3. Unfortunately after 2 scans and a big fat needle in my boob to suck out some blood they found the blood was too thick to be removed without an operation, or I could wait a few weeks and see I’d it went Down on its own. After 9 days in hospital, off my face on drugs, attached to a drip, prodding, probing and what feels like every man woman and dog in my town has now examined my boobs I am finally at home. I’m still in lots of pain and I have very limited movement in one arm. But I’m getting lots better and feeling a bit more normal, the lump has decreased by about half the size. I have two more weeks off work and I have to be reviewed every 10 days to see any changes ect. The risk of infection is very high and the most dangerous thing for me at the moment becau if I do contract an infection I will have to lose my implant. PLEASE DO NOT BE AFRAID OF THIS STORY! Very very few people have any side effects of surgery however, I would like to advise people of what can go wrong because I’d never heard of anything like this before. Knowing what I know now I would still 100% go ahead with the surgery and mr Singh was fantastic, this was NOT a result of his work and can happen to anyone and everyone, I just would have rather known about things like this before so it was less scary when it happened! If anyone has any questions please feel free to add me and I will be adding pictures as soon as possible. Xxxx
