Some of the references to textured implants would need to be confirmed by your surgeon. My understanding is that very few of the problematic ones were used for genuine reconstruction in Australia.
Ruptured implants are not great news but, once again, any speculation by someone who might of read an article in the news about them is not helpful. There is certainly data that suggests having silicon leaking out of our foobs is not good. Ask your surgeon. Sometimes you have to ask them more than once.
Cause and correlation are not the same thing, which may explain the weird ankle pain. That's the sort of thing that happens to me when I get my knickers in a bunch. Which in no way means that is what happened to you.
Social media is not a reliable reference point for any medical condition. Go straight to the source and nag your surgeon. Nagging has its benefits and the longer I live against the odds, the better I get at it. Mxx
