Implant

I know I sound ungrateful, but I’m having an issue with my implant, it feels very hard, has moved, and if I stretch it feels like something is tearing inside, I’ve also got pain under my arm. Had to change hospitals as we’ve moved, they seem very efficient, as I’ve rung this morning, and got an appointment on Wednesday. Any ideas as to what’s going on.? Thank you, good luck to everyone else 🤞🤞🙏🙏

Hi Parker 1438. I didn't go for reconstruction myself, so cant hazard a guess as to what is gping on. However you have definitely done the right thing getting an appointment. Good luck and take care. Lainey66 xxx

Saw the consultant today, I’ve been very clever, part of my implant has become detached, (bottom/left) the top has started to encapsulate, ( she has told me to be careful with passenger seatbelts, as this is often part of the cause.still going on my holiday as ultrasound confirmed it’s not ruptured, so all is good, got an appointment in September, to discuss having it removed, and replaced. Can’t fault Chichester Hospital, they’ve got get my notes as weve moved. Take care everybody
