    Default BROKEN BOOB

    Ladies please read- this happened to me
    Capsular Contracture –

    During capsular contracture, the scar tissue or capsule that normally forms around the implant tightens and squeezes. Capsular contracture is generally more common following infection, hematoma, and seroma. It is also more common amongst women who have chosen to have subglandular placement. Symptoms range from firmness and mild discomfort, to pain, distortion, palpability of the implant, and/or displacement of the implant.

    Additional surgery is needed in cases where pain and /or firmness is severe. This surgery ranges from removal of the implant capsule tissue to removal and possible replacement of the implant itself.

    In some cases, capsular contracture may happen again after these additional surgeries.

    I'm sorry about your complications, but I do think they look great otherwise...are your implants subglandular?

    The thought of implants personally frightens me due to the wide variety of complications I hear about, for me the benefits don't seem to outweigh the risks.

    I have small breats and am perfectly happy with them.

    Sorry to hear about your problems with them though.

    Mermaid, have you seen a doctor locally? I'm concerned about you, since I know you said you had them done in Thailand. Just want to make sure you're OK.

    yep, i went o a normal doctor, who put me on antibiotics, i just have to hope it clears and "seals" over, as my body maybe rejecing the implants. which would have happened no matter where i had them done. thanks for being concerned!! im hoping it all works out for the best tho.

    yeah breastimplants4you is a great site, also try

    girls girls girls! I am so sorry you are having problems, especially to Mermaidz, never ever ever leave the country for surgery. EVER! Money means nothing next to your health. I know its cheaper in Thailand but at the cost of your health, not worth it. Sweetie, with all due respect, why would you leave an industrialized nation( USA) to go to a 3rd world nation (Thailand) to get cut open? They don't have the same safety guidelines and education as US doctors have, not to mention they just want $$$ B/C they know you probably will never see them again.

    Maybe you should remove them with a doctor here and have him put in implants you can trust. Infection is no joke. where are you located? if in NYC I can recommend some highly qualified surgeons that would take good care of you (i have silicione). Hope all works out, Good Luck

    Remember many of our members are not American. Mermaid is from Australia. But I agree, I wouldn't have left Australia to get a BA in Thailand!

    the hospital i went to in thailand was of better standerd then australian hospitals!! the reason i have had problems is cos of my own stupidity ( not leaving steri-strips on long enough, going SHOPPING the NEXT day, lol not a good move, fainted etc... would have damaged them myself then) i will go back for ANY surgery i need. its an amazing experiance, and to be honest when i first heard of "thailand boob jobs" i almost ran a mile. but the more i looked into it.....sounded perfect.

    i cannot stress enough, how great the hospital was that i went to, all dr's there are american board of plastic surgeons, speak exceptional english,and customer service.....BLOWS you away!!!

    i know it sounds stupid to travel so far to a country i knew nothing about, for plastic surgery of all things, but i am so glad i did. i cant wait to go back and get a few more things done.

    check out the website, its even better then it says on there, marble floors, your OWN private rooms, balconys, free minibar, alcohle free of course, maccas ,starbucks etc.... its great.

    Thanks Ladies.
    I am having sergery May 5th. Seem all they need to do is fill up my implants.
    Whenever my own breasts have started to develop significant scar tissue, I've had the exact same thing done. Filling the implant larger stretches the scar tissue and forces it to let go of it's grip. A warning with a wink, though, if your body is prone to scar tissue build up like mine is, you may find yourself having to grow a cup size per year to stay ahead of the scar tissue buildup LOL !

    yep, been doing the arnica thing, and the vitiman e, aloe vera...anythign i can get my hands on is worth a shot!! lol im on antibiotics, might get some stronger stuff, i live by the ocean ( lol well across the road..) so i might do the slt water thing too...heard that might help?arghh running out of ideas!! at least im not in pain. i just cant dance
    Here's hoping that everything turns out all right. I was in the same position myself with my last re-do, when one of my incisions tried to stretch out and let go. Same as you, it was probably aggravated by my own actions. I had to RUN through Atlanta airport the day after my surgery in order to catch a flight, holding onto my boobs of course to keep them from bouncing or so I thought (must have been quite a sight, huh !). I'd have been much smarter to take a later flight.

    so Mermaidz, what is going to happen with your breasts? Are you going to be able to keep them? And if you don't mind my asking, how much are BA's in Thailand? Oh, and Arnica is really good with bruising not for open wounds, I and my friend recently had liposuction (amazing!) and arnica really helped numb some of the pain AND helped prevent and get rid of bruising. I barely had any bruising at all- my doctor is amazing, I have this tiny waist now. FYI- Private message me and I'll tell any of the girls who to go to for lipo who my doctor is- he's in NYC but worth a trip.

    Mermaidz, good luck with your breasts and I hope you will be OK. remember health first, boobs second. tootles!

    yeah i should be able to now. it was only a bit about 1/3 inch big that wouldnt seal over, so i got stitches, so that should fix the problem.

    the thai BA costs about 84000 thai bhat, which is about $1500 USD, depending on exchange rate.
