Re: Some advise please

Hi Girls

I'm 2 1/2 weeks post op and having started to notice a ridge appearing in both boobs, you can see and feel the implant at the bottom. I'm soooo upset I can't stop crying as I know its double bubble and desperately dont want to go under the knife due to my complication first time round, but I also paid £4000 so want a good job..... :sad: I'm going to make an appt to see my surgeon next week. Is it normal to have a reop with the same surgeon or can you go with someone else????

I might be jumping the gun at the moment by assuming its DB but what else can it be?? :sad:

Hi Bambi, sorry to hear about this hun. I can't really help too much on this one, but I'm guessing initially you'd have to go to see your surgeon and if you were not happy I would push mybreast to refer you to another ps for a second opinion xxxx

Sorry about the trouble you've had Bambi Hug

. Go and see your original surgeon and see what he says, but like SMB says, if you're really not happy for him to do a re-op then ask MyBreast for an alternative ...

hi hunny. I'd get booked in straight away and see what they say. Try not to panic - it may be nothing but then again its best to get it checked. I know how upsetting it is when you think something is wrong - I noticed my muscle distortion and db at about 2 weeks po too. In the end I just decided that it was one of those things and there was nothing I or my ps could have done to have prevented it. I was just one of the unlucky ones. MB were great and booked me in straight away for a revision. Lets hope it doesn't come to that with you. We're all here for you tho sweetie xxxxx Hug

awww sorry to hear your not happy hunny Hug

i agree with the other girls, go back and see the ps who done your op and see what he says.
if you are still not happy and would rather see a different surgeon then you could ask for that.
it's never nice having to go for a re op but sometimes it's the only way hun.
i had to have a re op after my second b/a and i'm over ther moon with my boobs now.
good luck hunny

Thanks girls for getting back to me it means a lot as my OH tries to sympathise but doesnt truly know how I feel. I've had a bad day today, cried lots and just want to be by myself....

Thanks again xx

If you want to see my pictures to let me know what you think, please PM me as I would value some feedback xx

Hi sweetie, have pm'd you again since this morning.

I was under the impression that you could only get DB with unders but apparently it can happen with overs too.

Thought this link was quite good (its the same as the one in your pm hun) but thought I'd share it anyway.

Hiya hun, sorry to hear you're so worried... fingers crossed that when you see your surgeon for a check it'll all be ok. If not then we're all here for support. Try to keep your chin up and try not to worry too much Hug

Hello Bambi!!

Soo sorry you are feeling soo bad about your result!! I would certainly make an appointment to see surgeon a.s.a.p. at least if you speak with him and he examines you you will know were you stand.....as Sally said they dealt with hers rather promptly. Worrying alone without really knowing what is wrong, if anything will play havoc with your emotions! You have already had a rough journey!!

I am happy to give you some honest feedback on your pics. if you would like me to.

Thinking of you

hi bambi, so sorry to hear about your problems, i def agree with the other girls - go see your PS again and see what he says..its always worse to be panicking at home alone...my thoughts are with you hun..keep us updated on how you get on. Sure MB will get it sorted for you asap.

(((((((((((( big hugs )))))))))) xx

hey hun, cant really add anything, but echo what the other gals have said, and i whish you all the best and really hope its nothing serious, good luck and Hug

to you xxx

by bambi671 16th August 2009, 8:13 pm

Thanks girls, can't see PS for another 3 weeks due to him on annual leave. I know this time is going to drag........... Now when I look in the mirror, I hate them....I just dont look right at the bottom where your crease is..My OH is going to come with me to the appointment. Does anyone know which was around it is..implant on top with your own tissue visible or other way?

by Mia 16th August 2009, 9:14 pm

Hi Bambi!!

Sorry you are still feeling low!!! It is good your O.H. is going with you. Why wait three weeks though? Your contract is with the company...not the surgeon...they should see you a.s.a.p. another opinion would be welcome for you from what you say. You could still see your own surgeon as planned, however, in the meantime I feel peace of mind is needed for you. I would insist on someone seeing you this week.

As for your question re: placement, not quite sure what you mean!! You have overs yes? Which is implant over the muscle, I am not sure how to post a link to explain and show you properly...but, I will try. Take Care Hug

Hi Bambi!!

Think I managed to post a link for you to veiw the different placement of implants. This is just a brochure from a partnership that the surgeon who carried out my b.a. is part of.

Hope it is of some help to you, I think you would find more detailed info if you do a search...I am not too good with the technical stuff Blush

by bambi671 17th August 2009, 7:28 am

Thanks Mia the link did explain it. I had overs but what I can see in the mirror is the implant sitting at the bottom with my own tissue on the top. It my own natural crease that is becoming visible...I'm going to call my PC today so I'll let you know what she says about me seeing a different surgeon.

by sarahsbabies 17th August 2009, 8:09 am

Hi Bambi, so sorry to hear your so unhappy. I definately agree with Mia, I wouldn't wait for your surgeon to come back off of holiday, I would insist they book you in to see somebody else so you can at least start the ball rolling if you do need a reop. No way should you have to wait the best part of a month, NO WAY....

Let us know how you get on xx

by Annie66 17th August 2009, 9:16 am

It's a long wait Bambi, so good luck with phoning your pc today.

As for the placement, yes, it is the implant which is underneath your own tissue. The implant is "over" the muscle but under the tissue. So it is your old natural crease which you can see.

Hi Bambi!!

Glad you found the link!! Hope you feel a bit better today. I would insist on someone seeing you....dont be fobbed off by a PC.!!

Keep in touch and take care Give You

by bambi671 17th August 2009, 11:09 am

I've spoken to my PC who said she'll call around the different clinics for me today to see if she can get me in to see another PS this week, so at the moment I'm pleased that she's doing this. She said she'd get back to me in a couple of hours.... :)

by Mia 17th August 2009, 11:12 am

Great news Bambi!!! Guess that makes you feel a bit better!!

Lets hope she returns with an appointment soon!! Give You

by bambi671 19th August 2009, 7:23 pm

I'm off to see Adrian Richards at their Northampton office tomorrow night so will let you know how I get on. I'm really pleased that my PC organised this for me, so at the moment I'm chuffed with how MYbreast are listening to my concerns.

by fluffy_bunn1e 19th August 2009, 7:26 pm

Good luck hun, keep us posted , fingers crossed for you xxx

by Annie66 20th August 2009, 4:16 pm

All the best with that Bambi. Adrian Richards is very well thought of and I'm sure he can give you good advice.
