Re: breast implant changes on radiation side

I am so sorry that you are having problems. It sounds like it seems to have shifted on you. Yes, this unfortunately can happen and it happened to me. I had to have my radiated side implant repositioned and Alloderm added to secure the pocket better. Having implants with radiation isn't done very often anyway due to high failure rates and problems and this is one of them. I've been ok for years now but I wanted you to know that it can happen but it also can be corrected. I made absolutely sure that I didn't lift heavy things (which was hard not picking up my baby girl). I was very careful until the tissue completely healed and I had nice absorbtion of the Alloderm. Again so sorry! I would make an appointment with your PC and see what can be done.Hugs ~ Ruth
