Hi I was diagnosed with DCIS in February and because of how extensive it was I had a skin sparing mastectomy in March . I had a Becker implant put in which I have found to be so uncomfortable and I had to have 100ml taken out because the pressure was unbearable !! After my dressings were removed after 2 weeks post op there was a blood blister the size of a 10p which burst and has developed into a hole which now after 9 weeks of weekly dressings I’ve been told my implant has got to come out because of infection !! I feel devastated that I’m now right back at the beginning with the prospect of 2 further surgeries after this one .I’m also questioning myself as to whether I can face having the Becker implant put back in when the time is right ? I feel very lucky that in regard to my diagnosis I don’t need any further treatment but I seem to have hit a brick wall mentally and am just feeling quite low . Has anyone else got experience of this or the Becker implant ? Thank you x
