Breast implants aren't all they are hyped up to be. In December I had surgery to remove mine because they had become encapsulated with scar tissue. They were replaced, even though I had and still have reservations about replacing them.

Then the problems set in.

My left incision opened up about 8 inches. I felt like I was looking at the Grand Canyon. I could swear you could yodel in there and it would echo back. Really weird to see your chest open up.

It subsequently opened up a total of three times, after my plastic surgeon tried to close me up. He said it was because I had radiation on the left side. But my question to him was "then how come the first time you did this I didn't have any problems" and he commented he must have been lucky.

The wound was too big for me to manage and too gross. I couldn't even reach it. I requested wound care. Almost felt like I had to fight for it. Finally I got to go to wound care nearest my house. Nice folks, caring too. It took us two months to get this to close up.

And even then I ended up with a stap infection in the wound.


So ladies please really think about whether or not breast implants are worth it. I realize some of you reading this will be thinking "we'll I'm just doing it to have bigger breasts". please do your homework. These things are not fun to deal with when there are problems.

I'm hoping at some point I can just have them removed, be flat chested and then I can head to the nearest tatoo parlor, get something raunchy tatooed on my chest or maybe I can auction my bare chest off as an advertising billboard on Ebay!
