What are the most common implant horror stories?

It's hard to say they are common. The medical field tries to ensure high - quality procedures. But since penuma implant is a relatively new technique, there might be some learning curves. Some horror stories might be due to inexperienced surgeons or improper post - operative care, which don't represent the overall situation.

There have been reports of improper placement of breast implants in Thailand. This can lead to asymmetry, where the breasts look uneven. Also, some women have faced nerve damage during the implant procedure. It can cause numbness or even long - term pain in the breast area. Scarring can be excessive in some cases too, which can be cosmetically unappealing.

One horror story could be improper implantation leading to severe pain. The implant might be placed in the wrong position, causing constant discomfort and restricted movement. Another could be infections. If the surgical area isn't kept clean properly during and after the penuma implant, it can lead to serious infections that are difficult to treat.

One common complication is capsular contracture. This is when the scar tissue around the implant tightens, causing the breast to feel hard and look misshapen. Another issue can be implant rupture. This might not be immediately obvious and could lead to leakage of the implant material inside the body, which can cause pain and other health problems. Also, some people experience infections after breast implant surgery, which can be very serious and require removal of the implant.

One horror story is about a patient who had an implant that got severely infected. The pain was unbearable and it led to swelling that affected the whole side of the face. It took multiple rounds of strong antibiotics to get it under control, and in the end, the implant had to be removed.

Well, there are cases where the implant migrated. One woman I heard about had the implant move from its original position. This led to pain and she had to go through extra medical procedures to find and remove it. It was a really scary experience for her, and she had a lot of anxiety during the whole process.

One horror story could be about a wrong size implant. A woman might have chosen a size she thought would look good, but after the surgery, it made her look extremely disproportionate. It affected her self - esteem negatively and she had to go through a difficult and costly revision surgery.

There are stories of nerve damage during the penile implant procedure. This can result in loss of sensation or erectile function problems that were not present before the implant. In some cases, the psychological impact of these problems can be just as bad as the physical ones. Patients may experience depression or anxiety due to the failed implant and its consequences.

One horror story could be about incorrect implantation leading to continuous pain. Some patients reported that after the cochlear implant, they had severe headaches that just wouldn't go away. It was later found that the device was placed slightly off - angle.

One horror story could be about improper implantation techniques. For example, the implant might be placed too deep or at the wrong angle, causing severe pain and discomfort to the patient. The patient may experience long - term nerve damage, which could lead to loss of sensation or even paralysis in the area around the implant.
