Jonna, you're right, it's not unusual. With saline implants, it has the highest rate of flipping, and capsular contraction.
SOOOO many of my family and friends got angry right away when they heard it happened, and were furious with my recon surgeon.
I explained several times that the possible complications were explained in detail to me when I choose saline.
They still are angry...I just can't be. I'm just sooo happy it's not cancer again and as far as I am concerned, something simple.

Kittyzee, Alloderm is being used in so many different kinds of reconstruction, it's really amazing! And I'm open about my situation because I have to be.
At this point the area between my shoulders and waist is just another body part...been poked, prodded, scanned, grammmed, sliced, diced,
so many times it's just a conversation piece as soon as any of my family and friends sees me. And when I am at my MDs office in Stony Brook,
a teaching hospital, usually several interns are in the room learning from my experience(s).
I am not shy any more. It's rewarding, makes it all worthwhile, that my experiences with cancer can help someone,
if not scare them into having mammos.
POINT: I put off my mammo for 2 years. How long has it been since you have had yours?
