Textured Breast Implants

Hi @Karen101

Were yours the Allergan textured implants?  Do you know what 'brand' they are? If you add the brand to the title you may get more dedicated replies (just hit the 3 dots in the circle on the right hand side of your thread & it will tell you how many hours you have left, to edit your post.) You have 24hrs to make edits .... so should be able to do it today.  If not, you could ask the Mods to add it ....

I think 10-15 years has been suggested for the 'life time' of implants .... maybe it is time to see your surgeon again & let him know of your concerns.  Or are you able to contact with the local Breast Care Nurse, to put it past her first?

If you just put 'Breast Implants' in the search, there could be more threads to look at, such as this one from 2023 ...

You may need to sieve thru a few posts ... Was this the one you found?

@Karen101

Do you recall what you were told at the time of preparing for surgery?
I have a textured implant.   It's gone 9 years!  My conversation was along the lines of 10-15 years.  
Do you have any problems, contracture?  There are lots of articles online.  Body changes et cetera

Best wishes 
Take care

I was told 10-15 years.  Its 10 years nearly.  I have aches in the area, and was told some time back it was probably from scarring.
