When it comes to breast augmentation, who would ever think that there is a possibility of breast implants gone wrong?

Some people believe that breast implants and augmentation surgery sets feminism 30 years back. The reason for that is women nowadays don’t base their confidence on how big their breasts are.

A Story Of Breast Implants Gone Wrong

having curvesThere was one woman who was 25 years old and wanted to make her A cup to a double D. Since she had always dreamt about having curves that were more feminine on her body, she decided to go in for breast implants and pay thousands of dollars.

Implants Turning To Stone

finding new hopeAnother woman was finding new hope in breast augmentation surgery because of her smaller than average breast size.

She did her research with plastic surgeons around her area and found one that fit her description of the “perfect” surgeon that would give her what she wanted.

Everything in the surgeon’s practice seemed real and professional, from his fancy office to the piles of paperwork. There were many recommendations on his online website.

The one factor she did notice when she finally met him was he did not have very good personal hygiene. She didn’t know if it was her mood that day, but he seemed a bit off compared to other plastic surgeons.

To save herself some money, she opted for general anesthesia instead of local anesthesia. The first couple of months after her surgery, she woke up one morning and one of her breasts was as hard as a rock.

She had developed capsular contracture. She didn’t discuss this risk very much during the talk with her surgeon. Capsular contracture is the response that the body’s immune system has to any foreign objects inside the body.

The bruise then spread quickly and she called another physician to help her diagnosis what was wrong with her breast. Later that day the implant then protruded out of the bottom of her breast.
