MAJOR COMPLICATION – SUPPORT NEEDED ?

Hi girls,

This post is basically just a call for support. I’ve had the worst week.

My incision scab came off at 4 1/2 weeks after healing wonderfully and then started oozing a lot. After seeing a nurse and confirming it was now infected I had to have a weeks antibiotics before they found I had a seroma (fluid build up inside) which needed emergency surgery and the implant removed. So now I’m left with one implant and one tiny boob. My emotions these past 6 weeks have been an absolute roller coaster going from excitement to nerves to sheer happiness to worried to my lowest ever.

I work abroad so have had to cancel my flight and lose a lot of money on that. In worried about not being able to return to work when I needed to. I don’t know when I’ll be able to have the implant put back in as I am only in the UK now again for two weeks in the Christmas holidays before next summer holidays and I don’t think two weeks is long enough to recover. I can’t have one boob for a year 🙁

I’m not able to fly for another 4 weeks minimum and can’t wear a prosthesis until then so at the moment feel like a freak and so helpless. Seeing everyone else’s results is just making me so sad. Why did this have to happen to me? ??

Oh Hun, I really feel for after you having to go through this, I myself haven’t had the best feelings about my new additions, so I know what you mean by a roller coaster of emotions.. Something that was supposed to make us feel better, great in fact hasn’t turned out that way. The ladies on here have been very supportive to me, after reading your posts I have felt very sad for you.. Ladies have told me to try a look at the positives, which I know is very hard to do when we are looking at gorgeous boobies on here, thinking ” why haven’t mine turned out like that”, but atleast you haven’t got seriously ill, the problem was found early enough. Thinking of you Hun and I truly am gutted for you.. If you need a rant, message me anytime.. Big hugs to you xxxx ❤️❤️

I’m sor sorry to hear that Hun, but least you got advice and didn’t just leave it as it could of ended up a lot worse. I hope u can have the surgery and continue back at work 🙁 try and stay positive I no it’s hard x

Oh sweetie that’s awful, I’m so sorry to hear about what you’ve had to go through. At least you’re healthy and you’re going to recover just fine. It’s rubbish you have to wait some time before you’re re op!
I know its hard to remember on a forum like this but boobs aren’t everything and for the time being you’ll just have to stay positive and busy then I’m sure your re op will be here before you know it!

Sending lots of love and positive thoughts xx

Thanks girls. If anyone else has had this please contact me. I need a bit of reassurance right now that it will all turn out ok when I finally get the other implant put back in x
