    Default heh i just have one boob now. dr took my implant ransom :(

    went to ps today to see if my "hole" could be stitched up.

    Hun, I remember you talking about your doc in Thailand, and you didnt do as much research (or so it sounded like)
    Do you think you made a wise choice?? It sounds super scary for this to have happened soooooooooo early! wtf?
    I dont know what to tell you, I dotn have implants, but thats just scary!
    What caused the hole?

    my body just rejected my implant, and tried to puch it out thru the scar. it sounds strange and painful, but it wasnt, lol now i look freaky! hehe one C up boob, and one...well small B cup. hehehe.

    its wasnt the doc in thailands fault, it was just something my body was doing, so now i gotta wait for all the scar tissue inside to heal so they can cut a higher cavity for the implant.

    i dont entirely undersatand it, it only happens to less then one percent of all implant [rocedures. so theres nothing about it on the net, and docs dont understand it much.

    That sucks, I'm sorry to hear it :'(

    Hopefully all will be well in 8 weeks...what kind of job are you going to get? Get a big huge push up bra (with a prosthesis on one side I guess) and waitress at a strip club for a few weeks...I'll bet the money is just as good if not better!

    What I don't understand is why the doctor didnt take out both implants at once. If you are rejecting one implant, chances are good that you will reject both of them. Breasts do come in pairs, you know.

    Common sense would seem to dictate that the doctor would take out both implants and then wait and see what happens. Then maybe redo them both at the same time. Leaving just one really sounds like shoddy medical practice to me.

    Meanwhile, you're left walking around lopsided.

    Boob ransom, indeed.

    i thought he should take both of them out too. but we figured the one thats still in there is in PERFECT condition, so it would seem silly to remove both of them,and then have to pay thru the roof to replace them.

    plus at least now i feel like "half a woman" haha

    the surgeon said it wont happen agian , cos i was a bit worried that the re op would also do the same thing.and i dunno why it only happened with one, maybe there was a larger gap in the stitches when it was first done, giving it more room to move down and out ? i dunno.

    ive gotta go into my club tonight, i didnt get a doctors certificate, lol ill just flash the boss, im sure he will understand that no way could i work like this. ha

    you're definitely being a trooper over this, Mermaid !

    It sounds to me like the 'rejection' of the implant was not actually due to some allergic or physical factor, otherwise you'd be having the same problem with your other breast. I'd sooner think that either A. the Thai doctor didn't stitch up your incision strongly enough, B. you overstressed your incision by doing something too strenuous too soon after surgery, or C. that your Thai doctor didn't make the 'pocket' for your breast implant large enough on one side (which led to increased stress on your breast skin and your incision area - particularly if your implants were placed under the muscle so that muscle tension was also contributing to the total stress).

    Lots of times plastic surgeons do not like to admit they've made such a mistake themselves, and they particularly do not want to point a finger that a fellow doctor has made such a mistake. However, since you had the original surgery in Thailand, it's probably a moot point since the chances of you getting a cash settlement from the deep discount Thai clinic are essentially zero (as opposed to getting a free fix or cash settlement from a local doctor who might otherwise be sued for malpractice).

    I was in the same situation myself a few years ago when one of my implants leaked and went 'flat'. It's really no big deal medically speaking, it can be fixed, and it will turn out even better than the original results. I definitely hear you about the income potential suffering big time while you are forced to wait for the replacement implant for 2-3 months. However, I had used a local plastic surgeon for the original implant surgery, so he was forced to take care of the problem virtually for free, which is not the case for you. Hopefully the NZ plastic surgeon who is treating your problem will take pity on you financially speaking.

    lol i might sound happy. i am. its strange,i havent cried about the monoboob yet. but i spent a good ten mins balling my eyes out when they told me it was gonna cost $500 and had to be paid for before surgery!!! lol i dont think i have been that upset in a LONG time.ha so when i found out they ahd to remove them i was like ...ahhh well.... hehe , my bf thinks im just in shock and tomorrow ill stress hard. dunno. crying doesnt help,neither does stressing,ive been doing far too much of that lately, i need to just chill relax and heal.

    melonie, you are totally right. im pretty sure its my fault tho, the doc may have cut the cavity too small tho ( the ps today mentioned how small the cavity was,it was forcing it out) but the day after surgery, i did a stupid thing, and went shopping in bangkok markets ( of all places) but i was so off my face on pethanane ( spelling??) i dunno what was going on, i passed out in a department store, and i think i may have damaged it then. i dunno. i know it was my fault too tho. i didnt go to a ps sraight away, i went to normal dr's instead, which was stupid

    i was told in 6-10 weeks i should be ok to put the implant back in,could have been worse

    i had to go into work just before and tell my boss id be off for longer then expected, i told him why, and cos i was wearing my C cup bra with one side all padded out, he looked at me like i was lying or something. lol i was gonna just flach him, but it hurts too damn much lol

    ill keep you updated, ill probably rant too ( just ignore that.lol just something il need to get out of my system, im going crazy being stuck at home as it is....7 weeks of doing nothing, is starting to do my head in as it is!, not to mention the next 12-15 weeks ill be off...sigh...)

    melonie, you have had an implant removed for a period of time too? you know how it goes all squishy? is that what a "normal" breast feels like?lol im so used to nice firm implants ( already! didnt take long) i feel my nonexistant breast and its sooo squishy lol i was sitting there poking it before.lol im so easily amused. i miss those sloshing noises you get from new implants.hehe when i first got mine i sat there moving them so they would slosh lol

    anyways. im ranting. heh
    sorry

    ill stop now....
    really i will......

    heh ok now i will.

    I was hoping everything would be okay for you when you told us you were going to Thailand. I'm sorry to hear its not. I agree with the previous posts that your doc should have taken the other one out as well and would have insisted on it. Ladies, pay attention to this thread and choose wisely when having surgery. There is usually a good reason why doctors move out of America and into other countries to do business. Also, the fact that you had to pay additional fees for this problem is outrageous. Probably a concern that should have been addressed before surgery. I feel so bad that this happened to you. I'd be afraid to let the same doc continue to work on me. Like previously stated, he's certainly not going to admit it if it's his fault, so you might never know why it happened. I wish you all the best, though. Good luck.

    It wouldnt of exactly been free melonie.She would have paid sugical fees and anhesticia.Also since dow corning class action suit,its almost impossible to sue over anything that happens with your implants.You have to sign a form stating that if anything arises out of your implantation procedure you can not take legal action,I have the paper somewere,so Idont know the exact wording of it,but point blank you cant sue.

    Mermaidz, we had a short disussion last week on your bad descision to do them in Thailand ( girls forget $$$, go to a GREAT doctor--Board certified, no less!!! ) Please, I hate hearing these stories, they are awful.
    Mermaidnz, you should have both done over b/c every doctor has a different technique and most boob jobs look different and most doctors boob jobs look similar, so now you may get another bad boob job b/c they might look totally different. and most doctors don't like to fix other doctors "fuck-ups" trust me they will charge with no sympathy for lack of judgement or research. I had a small complication with one breast( seroma--which is a collection of fluid near the incision area) and my doctor surgically drained it under anesthesia with no cost to me--I didn't pay a dime, and everything worked out but it was his mistake of course.

    good luck with the "girls". You are too pretty to be maimed. :'(

    lol no 500bucks to get it REMOVED, another 3000bucks to get the damn thing put back in!!

    GETTING IT DOME IN THAILAND HAD NOTHGIN TO DO WITH MY PROBLEMS!!! it would have happened if i had paid 10k or 2k.for them.even the surgeon yesterday said my psin thailand did an excellent job etc.

    he did give mea lecture on getitng my implants in thailand. but not cos of the "so called lacking quality" some peopleseem to think that have ( they dont.) but because i dont LIVE there, he went on about how it was stupid getting it done overseas, means any complications i have would not be able to be fixed by the same dr. fair enough, but i pointed out in in the middle of travelling at the mo anyways, so even if i had them done in australia, and then moved to UK, id have to pay for surgery, or a ticket back to australia. which sounded just as stupid. lol

    hehe i should post a pic of my nonexistant boob....lol give everyone nightmares for life hehehe jk

    There ARE pics of this happening to implants.. rejection, etc. Go to

    Crazy pics... site is made to scare people out of getting boob jobs.. didnt scare me tho! Im going back again but incase youre interested in seeing pics, etc of botched boobs check there. This site is about SILICONE, not saline so most of the stuff on there doesnt apply to you or most girls with newer implan ts.

    mermaid,

    i agree you seem to be handling this whole situation well, i'd be freaking out. i don't have implants, but this thread inspired a dream the other night: after having surgery, the implants were floating around my body and then deflated. it was so weird. and then the doctor got eaten by cannibals, so i don't know quite what to make of it. i hope you get better and everything works out in the future.

    and yeah, that site is super scary. those poor women...

    i just got back from the plastic surgeon, it was just a check up, but once i got there, he tried telling me that i needed the other one out too!!!! wtf??? he reason? "my surgeon cut the cavity too LOW" lol i told him i didnt have a problem with that, in fact, i liked it. haha he got pissed off.

    doctors suck first he stole my boobie, the he wants to steal my other one!! no way! lol

    If you have to pay $3000 to get one breast fixed in NZ, wouldn't it be cheaper to fly back to thailand and make them fix the job they started? Like someone else mentioned, in all likeliness the brand of implant and the style of the surgeon (as opposed to the 1st surgeon) is probably different. You may end up with 2 boobs that don't match. If you are going to go through with having it fixed in NZ, you probably should let the doctor go ahead and do them both.
    Out of curiosity, what is the final verdict on why the implant came out? You mentioned that your body rejected it, then it sounded like perhaps it wasn't stitched up well enough, now the pocket may not have been big enough? I'm not trying to grill ya, just genuinely curious. Hope things work out for you.
