Leaking Saline Implant

[Guest guest]

Hi Girls,

I haven't been here in a while, since considering explantation a year or so ago.

Well... looks like the Gods are making the decision for me. I woke up this

morning and discovered my left implant is waaaaayyy smaller than my right. I

appears I have a slow leak (not completely deflated yet).

I've had my saline implants 8 years and have suffered from severe, horrendous

pain in my left breast. I wonder what the connection, if any, is with the pain

and the leaking implant.

I'm pretty bummed about this because now I'm lopsided. Plus, I'm have a lot of

weird sensation/shooting pain in that breast, which is sorta freaking me out.

Any ideas/advice how to deal with this until I can have my implants removed? Has

anyone dealt with a leaking saline implant?

Also, my health insurance will cover the cost of removing the implants but not

removing the capsule. I can't afford an en bloc procedure right now so I'm

wondering if it's best to wait until I can afford to have it done correctly (at

least a year) or have the implants removed now and then have the capsule removed

at a later date (if that's possible). Any advice?

Thanks,

-Cyan
