My biggest dream has now turned into my worst nightmare!!

I had my ba 9th Feb and all was going well until last sunday when my incision burst open and started pouring out loads of puss!! I was taken back to London and had to have the impant removed on tuesday. I have to wait 6 weeks or so to have another one put in and am now walking around looking like a freak!!

Jesus hun sorry your going through that. Hope your doing ok xx

sorry to hear this hun do they no what caused it? x

No just one of the unlucky ones I guess xx

awwhh that’s horrible 4 u.. try and stay positive hun! i can remember reading about another girl had this problem…sending big hugs xxx

omg! you poor thing! silly Q but are you okay? what caused it? xx

I’m ok…….a little bruised and battered but emotionally I’m a wreck! xx

im not surprised! this is a dreadful thing to happen. take comfort in that fact that they will look after you and replace when you are healed. i really feel for you, sending you hugs.x

Sorry to hear that, keep your chin up x

Omg hun, hope your ok, sorry to hear this xx

Thinking of you honey,hang in there,if you want to chat you know where I am.xxx

Thank you everyone, and thank you Tina. I don’t think I have cryed so much in my life. I must say though the staff at Highgate were amazing and so supportive to me when I totally lost it after being told I was going to lose my implant x

can’t believe that’s happend! thinking of you, hope your ok xx

oh wow im sorry hun, thinking of you xx

I cant imagine how you must feel honey,I could cry for you,thank god everyone is supporting you,and we are all here for you honey,never doubt that,xxx massive hugs,xxx

Omg huni bless ya hope ur ok, can’t imagin what ur going threw big hugs x x

so sorry to hear that,most important is to get well, rest up and take your vitamin c and zinc, you will have your re op before u know it x

aww sorry to hear hope u will be ok xx

Really sorry to hear this….if you need to vent, please do PM me. It must be awful for you xx

Thats is really awful, u poor girl… Try to keep positive.

Did they say why your inscisions burst open?! x

That’s horrible I’m so sorry . I’ve actually cried there I’m so scared now

It burst open under the pressure of the infection. X

Aww this sounds so awful, I can’t imagine how you’re feeling. I hope you’re ok, I know it’s hard but the main thing is you’re safe and you heal so you don’t have any more complications or further problems when you do get the implant back. I hope the time passes quickly for you. xx

You poor girl! Massive hugs, and really hope these weeks fly by for you xx

Aww hun I’m really sorry you’re having to go through this, hope everything gets better soon xx

Aw hun, that’s awful news! I had persistant infections in both wounds so I know full well how emotionally draining it is! Wishing you a speedy recovery. xx

m3worrall…I know how u feel, I am due a re-op in 6 weeks too..for a rupture at only 8 mths po

but please remember our problems can and will be fixed, ladies that lose their breasts thru cancer don´t have the same options that we do, 2 of my friends are currently being treated for breast cancer and it really makes me realise how lucky I am (even with a rupture)..we chose our procedures and took on all the risks associated with it..they didn´t..

please don´t worry hun things will work out for both of us…lots of hugs xxxxx

Sending big hugs hun, take care xxx

Hope you start to feel better soon huni & have a look at some homeopathic remedies for internal healing There are some really good products available.. My sister swears by them.. We all laugh & call her the withy woo doctor when she gets her homeopathic first aid box out but it genuinelly works.. I’ll ask her for you…

Take care Hun xx

Well said lisa sending big hugs to you both and hope all gets sorted for you two x x x

Thanks everyone. I know I chose to have this procedure and was aware of all the risks but it is just so gutting when it happens. I know it can be fixed and am just a little emotional right now. All your comments are much appreciated and help me believe I am not alone in this so thank you xx

it is gutting hunny and I feel for you…trust me I know how u feel..x no-one goes into this and expects to have another op so soon, I know I didn´t…xxx

So sorry to hear that this has happened hun, i kno 6 weeks seems like a life time to wait right now but its been over that amount of time since i got told i have the pips and its my reop on tue so its come so quick. Keep your chin up xxx

Best of luck lozzalooloo……I have a friend with pips too and I can understand how apprehensive you must be about having the re op. Which hospital are you going to? x

Woow I feel for u hun hope everything works out in the end xx:(

I’m worried now. Did u even know u had a infection? And do u have to pay to have another one put in?

Hi msdaniellex, don’t be worried hun it is quite rare apparently. I didn’t know I had an infection until the puss started running out but my breast was painful still which was obviously my tell tell sign. I don’t have to pay to have the implant removed or a new one put in. There will be a silver lining and I will hopefully end up with a nice pair of boobs. I was so gutted because I did everything by the book but I guess that is just one of those things xx

oh god thats dreadful full for you, but you are being realistic. truly hope all ends well sweetie. x x x

Thanks m3worral, im goin to preston, heard lots of good things about it so hoping it will all go smoothly. I am pretty worried about the pips, im just really hopin they are intact cos had pains in my boobs for over a year now and an ultrsound didnt pick anythin up last year so hopin for the best. Were your friends intact and did she have any problems with hers? xx

Lozzalooloo- my friends are intact but one has flipped over which probably isn’t anything to do with them being pips. I really hope it all goes well for you Hun. Keep us informed of your progress xx
