Subject: Query regarding HEMATOMA

>

> I am writing on behalf of a breast implant sister here in New Zealand.

> She is seeking compensation for what she feels are unusual complications

>

> following removal of implants.

>

> Briefly, her implants were removed some years ago, but when she awoke

> from the surgery she was in extreme pain and it was found that a

> HEMATOMA had developed in the area of the surgery. Her general

> condition deteriorated with the result that she required blood

> tranfusions,

> and has been in poor health ever since.

>

> The site of the hematoma is still extraordinarily painful, and the

> breast is deformed where the hematoma was sited.

>

> She has had an ongoing argument with Doctors as to whether hematomas are

> quite common following breast removal surgery, they say they are!

>

> She has been unable to find any statistics on this subject, and

> therefore would appreciate feed back from any women who have experienced

>

> hematomas and any subsequent problems, following breast removal surgery.
