Breast Implant Problems

BREAST IMPLANT PROBLEMS

Are you having problems that might be related to your breast implants? Sometimes it’s hard to know. Here are some common complications. Capsular Contracture: Almost every woman with breast implants has scar tissue surrounding her implants. This scar capsule doesn’t show -- it’s inside her breast, and is her body’s natural way of protecting her from a foreign object. Sometimes, however, that capsule is too tight for the implant. Capsular contracture is when the capsule is too tight and feels like it is squeezing the implant. • It can happen with either saline or silicone gel breast implants • It can be slightly uncomfortable or very painful • It can change the shape of your breast, or make it look round and unnatural • You may need surgery to fix it • Once it is surgically fixed, it is likely to happen again   Symptoms such as: Could mean: pain in the breast, breasts look different from each other, breast feels firm or very hard, breasts look like round balls capsular contracture This condition will not usually get better by itself. If it is very painful or hard, it will require surgery to remove the scar tissue capsule and perhaps the implant. Some of your own breast tissue might get mixed in with the capsule, and you might lose some of your natural breast. Many insurance companies will pay to have your implant removed if a woman has Baker Grade III or IV contracture, which are the most severe types, because when implants are that hard they are especially likely to interfere with mammography and the detection of breast cancer.

Fair Hearing for Breast Implants?

A Food and Drug Administration advisory panel is again preparing to review the science concerning the safety of silicone breast implants.

Though the scientific data will, once again, point to the safety of silicone implants, it’s not clear that the science alone will drive the panel’s decision.

In October 2003, an FDA advisory panel had voted to approve silicone breast implants, but trial lawyer-backed activists succeeded in creating a circus of the process. In 2004, the FDA decided to delay approval of silicone breast implants pending the collection of more safety data.
