does anyone know some one who has been through radiation.for breast cancer?

I am going in for reconstruction on one breast I had radiation I will be using a silicon implant no natural tisue.. I am aware there is a50 percent chance it will have trouble healling among other things can someone talk with me who has had this experience or seen someones breast after this.

I have personal experience with this. Unfortunately – it wasn’t a positive experience.

In 2004 I had a lumpectomy and radiation treatments on my right breast.

In 2007 I had a recurrence of cancer in the same breast and had a mastectomy. Our first attempt at reconstruction was with a tissue expander and implants.

Unfortunately, I developed a severe staph infection and the tissue was not healing (due primarily to the weakness of the tissue from the radiation in 2004). I had to have the expander removed in another surgery and wait for complete healing of the mastectomy site before I could again try reconstruction.

Several months later I returned to the hospital for reconstruction – this time we had to do a procedure that involved taking healthy tissue from elsewhere. I had the Latissimus flap reconstruction done (this where they take muscle and tissue from the back and use it to form a pocket into which a breast implant can be placed).

This reconstruction has been a success. It takes awhile for the implant to settle in and look right under clothes or feel right in a bra – but I’ve been back in a bathing suit this summer – so it’s done well.

Hope that helps.

What’s the difference between regular silicone and gummy bear Silicone Breast Implants?

if there is any difference. also, is it rare for doctors to do Silicone Implants on patients younger than 22 if they have parents permission?

Hayley has it backwards. Regular Silicone is the older style implant with liquid, that is not approved for cosmetic use. You can only choose that option if you had a mastectomy. The cohesive silicone gel implant is just that, you can cut the implant in half and the silicone will not leak. The have been used in Europe for years, but were just FDA approved in the US in 2006. They were only tested in clinical trials on women 22 and over, so those are the only women that doctors can use them with. Any doctor that does not follow these guidelines is sketchy and doesn’t mind risking his license. It’s an FDA standard, it has nothing to do with parental permission.

What happens to Breast Implants when a woman dies?

I was thinking about Anna Nicole and I am wondering how long her breast implants will last? Will the implants shrink? Will the insects try to eat the implants? One of my co-workers said that they will last forever.

They are there, sticking up in dead body. Maybe over time silicone will deteriorate. Or maybe they take it out becasue the silicone is very expensive.

What does having Breast Implants Feel like?

I mean, can you feel you’ve got some semi-sloshy things in there? Do they react strangely to changes in altitude, temperature, g-forces? Would Christina Aguilera just sink right to the bottom of her pool whereas Scarlett Johansson just float there all day?

Hello,

Implants require some soft tissue coverage to feel OK. You will find women who “went larger” having more problems with them and being able to feel them more easily than women who were moderate in their choice of size. They don’t make you float or sink in a pool.
