My breasts exploded

[u/theredqueentheory]

I just got the results from an MRI, and apparently breast implants don't last forever. I knew that, but when I had my double masectomy 25 years ago because I have one of the many genetic mutations that cause breast cancer I didn't even think about down the road. I just carried on and somehow forgot about the temporary factor.

Well, today I learned they just kind of self combusted and there's silicone flying freely in my body. Fun. The pictures look like little pieces of confetti gleefully thrown about my chest by evil body goblins. Now I'll have to have surgery again to replace them. I'm not looking forward to it. I'm scared of the surgery going under anesthesia, as I'm a redhead and anesthesia resistant. I've woken up during at least two surgeries that I can remember.

This sucks, but I'm trying to look on the bright side, it's still better than having breast cancer.

Edit: Thanks y'all for your kind words and also for making me laugh so hard, I feel better already!

[u/miregalpanic]

aight, I am listening...oh.

all the best. is there a thing with anesthesia and redheads?

[u/InspectorOrdinary321 → u/miregalpanic]

Yes! We don't entirely know why, but redheads are known to be resistant to anesthetics.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1362956/

[u/miregalpanic → u/InspectorOrdinary321]

I did not know that. Thanks. Fucking weird.

[u/_Budified → u/miregalpanic]

Super weird, genetics are crazy, I learned this fact only a few days ago.

[u/sugarfreedaddy2 → u/_Budified]

They feel pain differently too

[u/crimsonshadow789 → u/sugarfreedaddy2]

How do? I have it as a recessive gene, but a red beard, I went under for a spine operation, and the guy had to keep pushing more and more. I was talking about shaving a smiley face in my ass hair.

The next time I just drew one on.

I saw the purple kaleidescope.

Coming out of it I definitely hallucinated.

[u/No-Wishbone-1076 → u/crimsonshadow789]

Thank god I'm not alone. All the time with these surgeons and anesthesiologist it's like "ohh here's that redhead again.. get to hear that story about his smiley face ass hair again..😑" it's like I cannot help it, ma'am. I have no soul. How about some bed side manners? Completely disregard the fact that I'm actively trying to fight them with every ounce of my being while singing welcome to the jungle off key at the top of my lungs.

[u/crimsonshadow789 → u/No-Wishbone-1076]

I had to go in a few times (nerve ablations for never more), and the next anesthesiologist was amazed at how much I was given. They got it better the next couple times, especially now that I was in there a bunch.

When I had my first root canal (oooold filling split along with the tooth) the endodontist actually listened, and had me signal the second I felt any pain, and he gave me more, but he did a pretty good job the first time around.

Now I need to get a whole slew of new specialists now that I moved halfway across the country. Again.

[u/Your_mom_but_better → u/crimsonshadow789]

I remember waking up during my wisdom tooth extraction. I just remember my mouth held open and saying ow ow ow. I thankfully don't remember the actual pain.

[u/BudBundySaysImStupid → u/No-Wishbone-1076]

I can sympathize- redhead and entirely narcotic-resistant. After my last abdominal surgery, I was washing down oxy with bourbon, and you couldn’t tell I wasn’t sober. (Neither could the pain, unfortunately.)

You might try tramadol, though. Dunno why, but that actually works for me the way it’s supposed to. Only thing that does that I’ve found.

[u/Alexbear31 → u/sugarfreedaddy2]

I'm Strawberry Blond, so I have the red hair Gene. I have had to explain to dentists over the years they need to re-freeze (Canadian) after 30-ish minutes.

It's not that those with the gene are resistant, our bodies break down anesthetic faster than non gene carrying folks, I think they may have identified the enzyme that breaks down Anasthesia, I think we just produce more than the average person.

As for the feeling of pain diffrently, felt. I wonder if we naturally produce enzymes that inhibit pain. That would be something to research. Or maybe due to most painkillers not working out entire lives, we learned to handle it differently. Morphine? Doesn't really work for me. Dilaudid? Guess what? I'm actually Allergic. Tylenol? Nothing, good for feavers tho, IBProfin? Bleh...

The only thing that works for me that offers mild pain relief is Tramadol & Toradol.

[u/Illustrious_Leg_2537 → u/sugarfreedaddy2]

Now I need to go down that rabbit hole.

[u/aspen_silence → u/miregalpanic]

I'm resistant to anesthesia and tell all anesthesiologists I'm from a family of natural red heads and take after them since my hair color is dark brown with loads of natural red highlights.

[u/BarbieGhoul93 → u/aspen_silence]

I'm a natural redhead. My oldest son has light brown hair and my youngest has dark brown hair. They both have issues with resisting novacaine and anesthesia like me.

[u/Royal_Region9996 → u/aspen_silence]

same!! people think i am a drug seeker. 😢 i’ve had rough times at the oral surgeon

[u/Throwyourtoothbrush → u/miregalpanic]

Also, we don't know exactly why anesthesia works, but we do know it also works on plants. If you treat a Venus fly trap with ether, it no longer reacts to stimulus, and the effects do wear off so stimulus works again.

[u/FigBeetle_V_Cicada → u/Throwyourtoothbrush]

Everyone responding to you is getting hung up on your first sentence, and seems to have missed the significance of your second sentence, which implies that venus fly traps respond better to anesthesia than redheads (and redheaded adjacent people) do. Wild!

[u/Fluffy_Dealer7172 → u/Throwyourtoothbrush]

What do you mean? We do know why anesthesia in general works and have a good understanding of some anesthetic agents' mechanism of action, albeit not all

[u/Throwyourtoothbrush → u/Fluffy_Dealer7172]

We know how it works, not why it works. Similar statement for many neurological medications.

[u/supadankiwi420 → u/Throwyourtoothbrush]

"... Why does ur brain make u perceive life at all in the first place?"

Is basically what ur asking and that's romantic, but existential.

OP just needs surgery reassurance and bro your replying to just wants confirmation that we are in fact safely gassing patients 🤣

[u/Throwyourtoothbrush → u/supadankiwi420]

I'm actually replying to miregirlpanic, not op. If you look at where my comment lands, it wouldn't notify OP or appear in their inbox

[u/supadankiwi420 → u/Throwyourtoothbrush]

I suck at redditing clearly

[u/Throwyourtoothbrush → u/supadankiwi420]

That's cool. I just saw the info about it recently and found it fascinating that anesthesia works on organisms that have completely different cells than us. It's a whole other level than the genetic variation of redheads. Science is full of fascinating mysteries and we have SO many discoveries yet to be made. Now THAT'S philosophical!

[u/WillyWonka092 → u/miregalpanic]

People related to redheads are also anesthesia resistant. Some doctors will ask if anyone in your family is a redhead

[u/drinkallthecoffee → u/WillyWonka092]

I was born dirty blond and my hair turned brown over the years. My beard came in red.

At the dentist they have to give me several times the normal amount of before it stops hurting.

[u/Express-Feedback → u/drinkallthecoffee]

My mom is a redhead, and I had this issue. I have brown hair, but I have random reds and silvers on my head and in my beard.

Had to have the fifth metacarpal in my right hand reconstructed years ago, and I remember the surgical staff being a little surprised at how long it took to put me under.

One of my brothers is a full redhead, and he had extreme issues when he had surgery for a broken tibia.

Weird shit.

[u/WillyWonka092 → u/drinkallthecoffee]

Didn't know people could have different colored beards like that. Pretty cool

[u/drinkallthecoffee → u/WillyWonka092]

I didn’t realize it either until my beard came in. Apparently it’s common. I didn’t even realize my beard was red until people pointed it out to me.

[u/WillyWonka092 → u/drinkallthecoffee]

Interesting. Just checked my own beard and it's brown on the bottom, my mustache and my cheeks are blonde, and my hair is dirty blonde. Never really paid attention lol

[u/hornyorphan → u/miregalpanic]

Last time I got a filling they had to give me 4 shots of anesthesia and I could still feel the dentists drill. Its really annoying

[u/SuperPotatoThrow → u/miregalpanic]

My best friends mom is a redhead, and even though he is not a redhead, he is highly resistant to pretty much any medication known to man. Genetics can be weird sometimes.

He had to have a tooth removed a few years ago, told me the numbing agents they used during the dental surgery basically did nothing. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

[u/Ossmo02 → u/miregalpanic]

I found out my grandma was a redhead because a dentist asked me if I was when struggling to get me numb (legally maxed out & it still hurt). She dyed her hair my entire life. I've had brown hair for most of my life, the dark red is starting to show next to the greys in my beard.

[u/This-Function1789 → u/InspectorOrdinary321]

And pain meds!

[u/miregalpanic → u/This-Function1789]

wait for real now? how did this never come up in a conversation?

[u/zootnotdingo → u/miregalpanic]

It is absolutely for real. It impacts me

[u/Head_Razzmatazz7174 → u/zootnotdingo]

I'm not a full redhead, but it runs in the family. I have to tell my dentist that it's going to take a bit more than usual to numb my gums anytime I have a procedure.

[u/SpiceySlade → u/Head_Razzmatazz7174]

It would be great if they would note that somewhere in your chart. I had to get a filling replaced the other day, and I didn't remind the dentist before the procedure. That was not fun.

[u/Best-Professor5218 → u/SpiceySlade]

The only way I get them to listen to me about the numbing agent not working is my wife was the dental assistant telling them to not bother. The only time I get it now is when then need the the numbing agents to constrict the blood vessels. Also not read head, blond blue eyes. And narcotics in general do nothing for me. The only thing that has hit me a bit was Dilaudid. Pulled out of surgery early a few times when they were sewing me up still.

[u/chronicallyill_dr → u/Head_Razzmatazz7174]

Do you have freckles? It’s also known to happen to most people that have them, as it’s controlled by the same mutation (but only in one copy).

[u/Auirom → u/Head_Razzmatazz7174]

Not a full redhead either and learned this the hard way. Got a root canal done when I was 19 and the dentist numbed me up. Halfway through the prodecure I'm wincing in pain and starting to tear up because they are forcing a mold for the crown into the area. He kept telling me I should feel it. I have to actively ask them to inject the anesthesia into the roof of my mouth. It's the only place that fully numbs me long enough for them to do the job.

[u/panda5303 → u/Auirom]

Ugh, I had the same issue when I got my first root canal at 35. I'm naturally a strawberry blonde, and my uncles have red hair. Now I make sure to tell the dentist I have the MC1R mutation, and I require extra numbing because it wears off quickly.

[u/PugglePrincess → u/Head_Razzmatazz7174]

This is me! I get three times the normal amount of numbing for any dental work. Not a red head, but many in my extended family are.

[u/flypaperforfreaks → u/Head_Razzmatazz7174]

This is me, and wow this is something I wish I had known a long time ago. I had my wisdom teeth out under local anaesthetic and while the top tooth came out ok, he had to drill the bottom impacted one and I could feel it. I kept telling him and he would give me more anaesthetic, but I could feel the nerve pain travelling down my neck. He said “I’ve given you three times the dose, you shouldn’t feel this, you’re just anxious.” UGH. Many years later when I had to have a c-section, they tested whether the epidural had worked using ice on my skin and of course I could still feel it. They eventually had to give me a spinal tap on top of the epidural (which caused all sorts of other issues)…. Anyway, it wasn’t until about three months ago I learned about the redhead gene impacting anaesthesia tolerance and of course, my dad and grandma are both red and my hair throws red highlights. Would have been so useful to know this years ago!

[u/rogue_kitten91 → u/miregalpanic]

Yep, even if you're not a full redhead... My dad had red hair when he was a kid, and then it turned black... my hair had more red with it's brown as a kid, but now it's a deep brown and the red only shows up if I spend a lot of time in the sun...

I still require more anesthesia, and higher doses of pain meds.

[u/ZombieBrine1309 → u/miregalpanic]

I am fairly redhead but stuff like ibuprofen are very effective on me. I guess it varies person-to-person.

[u/MedievalMousie → u/ZombieBrine1309]

For me, the nsaids and anti-inflammatories are fine. It’s narcotic painkillers and anesthesia that either don’t work or burn off too fast.

[u/Consistent_Slice_752 → u/MedievalMousie]

Interesting. I had strawberry blonde hair growing up. Narcotics just make me nauseous. No pain relief

[u/17_blind_Ninjas → u/This-Function1789]

Morphine doesn't work on me at all. Other stuff does but needs higher than normal dosage. Dentist visits are absolute hell, I need 4x the amount and those shots hurt! Not a fun mutant super power. :(

[u/Fluffy_Profession781 → u/InspectorOrdinary321]

It’s a gene mutation, we are more susceptible to Parkinson’s and endometriosis too. Also more sensitive to certain types of pain, which explained a LOT for me.

[u/mkrom28 → u/Fluffy_Profession781]

I’m a redhead and knew about pain meds/anesthetic (i even had pharmacogenomics testing done which reiterated that higher doses are needed to achieve baseline therapeutic levels for those meds) but I hadn’t heard about the link to Parkinson’s & endo. Thanks for mentioning this!

[u/Fluffy_Profession781 → u/mkrom28]

I only recently discovered it. I knew I had Parkinson’s susceptibility anyway thanks to a genetic test, and I have PMOS - which I know is not endo, but I am suspicious there is a link, and let’s be honest, am I likely to get endo looked at if I have all the symptoms except painful and heavy periods?

[u/mkrom28 → u/Fluffy_Profession781]

Huh, I might have to look into that specific type of genetic testing. I’m adopted with no family history (hence the pharmacogenomics testing so we could stop throwing meds at the wall and seeing what may or may not work.)

I totally get what you’re saying & I agree. Even without the redhead genetics aspect, I do see a couple studies from the 2010’s that link a PMOS dx with an increased likelihood of an endo dx as well as a strong link of PMOS & endo presented with pelvic pain and/or trouble getting pregnant. Maybe that’s enough to convince a doc to do testing for endo? Ugh, always jumping through hoops to do whatever is necessary to be heard & taken seriously as a female patient.

[u/Fluffy_Profession781 → u/mkrom28]

I’m not even sure who I need to talk to about endo.

I think it’s more likely that I have it than don’t - I have a collagen disorder which also increases risk, and ADHD which we know comes with that package too.

[u/what-are-you-a-cop → u/Fluffy_Profession781]

Yeah, specifically more sensitive to temperature pain, right? My husband apparently has this gene, and he's sooo sensitive to hot and cold foods, and constantly marvels at the temperature of dishes etc. that I can touch with my bare hands, or that I can let ice cream touch my teeth at all.

[u/Fluffy_Profession781 → u/what-are-you-a-cop]

Thermal and pressure ☺️ our temperature regulation is also fucked.

[u/chronicallyill_dr → u/Fluffy_Profession781]

Also the same mutation seen in a lot of people that aren’t redheaded but have freckles.

[u/marichankitty → u/InspectorOrdinary321]

Woaaaaahhhh. I have a red head friend who, during labour, was unaffected by the epidural! Maybe this explains it! So strange...

[u/brebre2525 → u/marichankitty]

My epidural stopped working and the boosts that they would give did not help. Eventually I ended up with a C-section and in that case they just had to use a ton more aesthetic to completely numb me. Luckily I did not feel anything during my c-sections but I was terrified I would.

[u/Fluffy_Profession781 → u/marichankitty]

I’ve woken up during wisdom tooth extraction - even better, they didn’t put glasses on me so I woke up to the light directly in my eyes (my blue light sensitive eyes) before I could adjust to anything, had vision disruption for a fortnight.

They have also been unable to put enough local into my arm to remove my implant previously, leaving fingernail marks in the skin. Turns out if you put too much in, it makes the rod harder to extract.

Painkillers? Get reked. Haven’t found something that consistently works yet.

[u/Forest-Dane → u/marichankitty]

I'm sort of ginger. I had two epidurals a couple of weeks ago before surgery and neither worked. Hospital threw out the whole batch.
Codeine doesn't work either.

[u/ParkingAnxious2811 → u/InspectorOrdinary321]

It's related to a gene which is incredibly common in people with red hair, but also found in others. I also have that gene, and need twice as much and it still wears off incredibly quickly. 

[u/momofboysanddogsetc → u/ParkingAnxious2811]

I call myself a “ covert redhead” I have brown hair with red undertones, I am pale and pasty with lots of freckles. My dentist helped me discover in my 40’s that I have the red head pain med gene. I’ve had so much dental work done that I could feel and they didn’t believe me. I have panic attacks at the dentist, yay me. I’m thankful for my current dentist that was patient with me and knows I require double the meds and it wears off faster than usual. If only I could metabolize food as fast as I metabolize meds.

[u/Charming_Bad8510 → u/momofboysanddogsetc]

Also have red undertones and hold the record at my dentist office for most Novocaine needed. Also do not have receptors for morphine. Fun times!!

[u/Vault-TecSecurity → u/InspectorOrdinary321]

I read a thing long ago explain why but now ofc i can't find it. There was a thing being semi funny but also informative on how gingers are genetically mutants and went into details explaining it

[u/Nyssa314 → u/InspectorOrdinary321]

Fun fact, Arabian horses also are. I had a tiny little Arabian that would take a double dose of sedatives to even get him slightly loopy and I have a huge (non Arabian) one that will just about hit the floor if you give him a full dose.

[u/Smorsdoeuvres → u/InspectorOrdinary321]

Yes. It really impacted my mother’s care as she was dying from emphysema. I had more than 1 charge nurse argue with me that my mom couldn’t possibly be on all the medications I was discussing without being a hospice patient. Spoiler alert: nurses often don’t read patients charts like they are supposed to, and my mom was Absolutely on all the medications I was concerned about.

[u/Practical_Adagio_504 → u/InspectorOrdinary321]

I can confirm my own experiences. Morphine in the hospital just gave me an instant hangover and nada pain relief. Delauded then worked, but just felt like i had a couple of alcoholic drinks. Cocain just made my GERD rise by 1000% because it DID relax my esophageal sphincter, but did nothing else and definitely did NOT keep me awake. Marijuana just gives me a massive 5 day long headache. Vicodin does nothing for the pain and just makes me sleepy. Nsaids do work but it is because they reduce swelling which is where the pain originates from in those cases that i use them. Oxycodone does nothing for the pain and just makes me a little loopy. Caffeine makes me sleepy and calms me. Nicotine works. Alcohol works great. My mother gets nauseous ill if morphine is administered.

Came back add: nitrous oxide works a treat on me! I request it EVERY TIME i get dental work done.

[u/undergroundnoises → u/InspectorOrdinary321]

Apparently those of us suffering with Ehlers-Danlos also have issues with anesthetics.

https://www.eds.clinic/articles/anesthesia-risks-for-ehlers-danlos-syndrome-patients

[u/brebre2525 → u/miregalpanic]

Redhead here - for years I argued with the dentist about how no matter how much they numbed me, I could still feel it whenever I had a cavity filled. Finally got a dentist who knew about this redhead issue. Found out in addition to having to overload me with anesthetic they also had to wait longer for it to work. I felt so validated finally!

[u/Fluffy_Profession781 → u/brebre2525]

There are articles written by dentists on how the redhead/anaesthetic link is a myth 😭 it’s so unhelpful.

[u/Fluffy_Profession781 → u/[deleted]]

I was accused of lying about my cannabis intake by mine 🫠

[u/DidSomebodySayCats → u/[deleted]]

There are a few dentists out there who are real nerds for the science of teeth. I think a lot of them were just vaguely interested in biology and figured it'd be a nice stable career path. And then there is a group who is entirely in it for the money and lifestyle.

[u/jimicus → u/[deleted]]

I believe Steve Martin sang a song about that:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOtMizMQ6oM

[u/sommerxxrose → u/brebre2525]

Not a redhead, but had this happen to me. I BEGGED the dentist to give me as much as they could because I knew with the regular amount, I had about 30 mins before it would start to wear off. I was having 4 cavities filled and naturally this lady did not listen to me.

Just about 30 mins later I was death gripping the chair because I could tell it was starting to wear off. 45 mins in I could feel EVERYTHING. She said they couldn't do anything about it, so I had to let them finish with no additional numbing. I was in so much pain.

3 or 4 years ago I went to a different dentist, and it turns out the prior one did one or two of the fillings half assed, so he had to take everything out and re-do it. I got two different giant needles, and I don't know what they used, but I could feel absolutely nothing for like 4 hours. It was great!

Though I forgot to mention I was hypermobile, so they put this block thing in my mouth to keep it open, and after awhile I literally thought my jaw was going to dislocate and had to make them stop and take the block out of my mouth 😅

[u/Mission_Fart9750 → u/sommerxxrose]

My wife and kid both have hEDS. Novacaine and lidocaine do not work at all (ok, for literally like a minute). My wife had to have a broken tooth extracted, and the nurse gave her like 4 regular shots (which did nothing), so she tried a few more of the stronger shots. My wife told me after, that she could feel everything, but she just wanted it out, so she white-knuckled through it. 

My kid had to have a few cavities filled, and they said the same thing. They felt everything. 

[u/zombietobe → u/brebre2525]

I have dentist trauma for this reason - the first few times I had something drilled, I felt it vividly and was given the impression that was normal. My next dentist was completely aware of the redhead link; she booked me for longer appointments and started me with high doses, really went out of her way to accommodate it.

Now I get a prescribed sedative to take before appointments because my body goes into hyper-vigilant shivers/tremors; it’s completely involuntary despite intellectually feeling comfortable with every dentist I’ve had since then. (It’s been almost 20 years since the first drilling experience with that one guy.)

I had surgery in ‘22, first time going under anesthesia, and talked to the anesthesiologist about it. She was wonderful about reassuring me that the amount used at the outset is always a little extra for redheads; it’s also part of her job to monitor the vital signals minute-by-minute and make adjustments as needed along the way. (And after the fact, I was told that I did indeed require more in the midst, but it was addressed before I was ever at risk of waking.)

For reference: as an adult, my hair is in the range of “polished penny copper”; as a kid it was bright orange. I’m pretty much the textbook example, which at least makes it easy to communicate my needs.

[u/miregalpanic → u/brebre2525]

i would have thought this would have come up naturally in a conversation with a someone who has red hair. over years and years. now I learn that this is actually a thing, and people with red hair have an issue.

[u/MedievalMousie → u/miregalpanic]

I just came from the dentist. She needs 3x the numbing for me, and it wears off fast.

[u/miregalpanic → u/MedievalMousie]

yeah, this is completely new to me. i didn't know about this at all.

[u/Euphoric_Celery_ → u/miregalpanic]

Yea, my mom's a red head, she woke up during surgery and actually punched the surgeon once.

[u/No-Drag-1315 → u/miregalpanic]

Can confirm the epidural did fuck all for me. Felt everything. Dentist visits are super fun too. I love my red hair but holy shit that gene mutation goes hard.

[u/Beaux--Dangles → u/miregalpanic]

Oh yes! Personal experience, multiple times.

However, the last time it didnt happen. I requested a conversation with my anesthesiologist and we had a great chat about it.

OP I highly recommend that you also do this. Made a world of difference.

[u/Unkn0wnTh2nd3r → u/miregalpanic]

yep, While I am a blond, i also have a red beard, and I have the same drug resistance, usually needing .5x to 2x more drugs to sedate/be effective than a non red head/resistor of a similar weight.

[u/Save_Canada → u/miregalpanic]

Also resistant to pain meds

[u/BoneBruja]

As a rule, generally breast implants need to be replaced every 10-20 years. They don't last forever, and the silicone ones have a higher failure rate (marginally, like 20% more). But the insidious thing about silicone implants is the "silent" leak. As with saline implants, if they leak its annoying, you still need to get them replaced. But it's not too dangerous, as the body will absorb that extra saline. But with silicone, that will just sit there and cause irritation, infection and can travel to the lymph nodes. It can cause systemic immune issues and breast implant illness is a very real thing. You can still get breast implant illness from saline implants as they still have a silicone shell and there is always a bacterium/fungal risk with any implants (as sometimes batches get accidentally tainted when they are being filled). But with modern saline implants the do seem safer vs silicone. Also, implant technology has come a long way in the last 25 years, with many trends and techniques coming and going.

My dad used to work in cosmetic surgery (he quit about 10 years ago). But I remember him saying that textured implants were supposed to be the big thing for a while and were supposed to be revolutionary. But a bunch of them ended up getting recalled and in hindsight it was a bad idea. There was something else about shaped (generally teardrop-shaped) implants as well, but I can't remember it off the top of my head. I think its because they were textured as well to stop them from flipping and moving and IIRC a bunch of those got recalled as well, but don't quote me on that. It's been a while since I've talked to my Dad about that sort of thing.

[u/Maggiemoo621 → u/BoneBruja]

I used to always want to be a size bigger, but now that I see this I 100% officially never want to deal with that. So I’m glad I saw this comment😅 wish OP well though 😭🙏🏻

[u/ayimera → u/Maggiemoo621]

It's not worth it! I'm an A cup (generous) and when I was in my 20s I always wanted implants. My mom even got them when she was younger. Then she started having pain and they removed them to get rid of any infection risk (she prob had them for 20+ years, surprised they lasted that long). It was really hard for her to adjust back to her normal size for a while. Solidified for me that I'm just a part of the IBTC and to love myself the way that I am!

[u/InValuAbled → u/ayimera]

You can do a liposculpture instead. Auntie had that done... places.

The surgeon sucks out some of your own fat, it's purified for implantation, and reinjected into areas you want larger.

The only thing auntie talked about was something about risk of false positive mammograms and sonograms later on.

[u/theredqueentheory → u/Maggiemoo621]

Glad you saw it too, yeah, it's not worth it, love your body the way it is! If I didn't have a cancer gene I would have kept my original ones.

[u/darklux- → u/Maggiemoo621]

have you checked out abrathatfits ? sometimes making sure you have the perfectly shaped/fitted bra for your specific boobs makes a significant difference in how big they look.

[u/Positive_Lemon_2683 → u/BoneBruja]

My textured, tear drop shaped implant flipped over in less than a year and I had to get it replaced.

[u/BoneBruja → u/Positive_Lemon_2683]

I think that was why they ended up getting recalled, as the texturing wasn't enough to get them to stop flipping. IIRC it was an issue no matter if they were placed transmuscularly (under the muscle) or subglandularly. Also, textured implants had a high rate of BIA-ALCL which is a lymphoma, technically a type of cancer (but it is usually highly treatable). I think it was because the implants were textured, which caused chronic inflammation. Which, after years of said inflamation, can turn your immune system against you and make certain cancers proliferate as well as sparking some autoimmune disorders. Not always, but its a risk.

Also textured implants were more likely to trap bacteria biofilm around the implant, giving more chance infection and widespread inflamation.
So, for various reasons they were discontinued in various places (I think they are banned in France and somewhere else, possibly Australia? But I could be mistaken).

I've got no idea if textured implants are still widely used globally as I can only speak from a UK perspective and the private plastic surgery center my Dad worked at. I also don't know what the next big thing was that has replaced them was. As it's been over a decade since my dad was in that field (he is now retired) and I haven't kept up with current medical literature as I have no desire to get implants.

What did you get your implants replaced with out of curiosity? Was it another tear-drop-shaped, textured implant or a more traditional implant?

If you got them replaced with textured implants, please try not to worry. I think you will be fine as long as you aren't having issues with them. Essentially, leave them alone for now and get them changed when it's time (after about 10-20 years after you got them). Just because you currently have them doesn't mean you are guaranteed to have issues with them a lot of people don't but it's an associated risk that comes with textured implants. It's kind of a watch-and-wait, but be on guard kind of situation. There are risks associated with them, but that doesn't mean you will be the unlucky one it happens to.

Edit: proof reading.

[u/theredqueentheory → u/BoneBruja]

Thanks for the info!

[u/Liveitup1999 → u/theredqueentheory]

When you have surgery make sure to tell the anesthesiologist that you are prone to waking up during surgery and resistant to anesthesia.

[u/ExpensiveFish9277 → u/BoneBruja]

There's a rare lymphoma associated with the textured implants.

[u/Lucreth2 → u/BoneBruja]

What about the newer gummy bear implants used in reconstruction? I feel like they should last much longer?

[u/kai_enby → u/Lucreth2]

I have those and my surgeon told me I can keep them for as long as they cause no problems, they don't recommended any kind of schedule for replacement with modern implants. They also don't 'leak' in the way old silicone implants did as even if the shell ruptures the silicone itself is a solid mass so it won't really go anywhere

[u/Time-Turnover5496 → u/Lucreth2]

I’m getting these following double mastectomy due to breast cancer. My plastic surgeon said they have about the same lifespan but they will stick together in the subpectoral pocket and not travel around the body if anything should fail. Also will have MRI monitoring every 2-3 years to hopefully detect any failure before or shortly after it happens.

[u/BoneBruja → u/Lucreth2]

I've heard of them, but I'm honestly no and expert on this stuff. If I am remembering the type of implants correctly, they are the kind of implants where if the outer shell pops they don't leak because it's a special type of silicone that holds its shape. You still need to suction out the silicone from the area, but it's not as much of a bitch to remove as free-flowing silicone as my Dad said that it's such a gummy, viscous texture that you have to scrape up and as much as you physically can, with the traditional silicone implants as it's a liquid it can migrate and its damn hard to remove. My Dad compared it to being like a glue. The Gummybear ones are better in theory but I can't remember if in practice they are any easier to remove in the operating theatre once popped, they are better on paper though.

IIRC Gummybear implants, usually are contoured and shaped like a teardrop. They have a habit of twisting at times which can cause them to not project (stand out from the skin) as intended when placed. They are also firmer to the touch than normal silicone or Saline, which might be undesirable for some people if it's purely cosmetic rather than say reconstructive and they want a certain feel to them. They should in theory last longer than regular silicone or saline (if you consider they both need to be replaced after they pop). But I think the replacment schedule guidelines are there for a reason, also new advancements in implant tech are common, so no doubt by the time you need to replace them there will be newer, better implants.

Gummy implants are textured to reduce the amount of potential movement, which comes with a certain amount of risk just like other textured implants. Essentially they have the same issue as the other textured teardrop implants do. But there is a greatly reduced risk of free-floating silicone. But, as they are textured there is still a risk for BIA-ALCL, just less chance for free-floating silicone causing all the issues it does.

There, however, is still a risk of Breast Implant illness, including systemic autoimmune type issues and activation of the immune system. However the links for BII (Breast Implant Illness) are very much there I'm not sure if it is currently listed as an official diagnosis or if its more of a working theory at the moment. Either way its something that needs a lot more research done on it. Last time I talked to my dad about it and did research on it; was a while back so I'm by no means up to date.

I also will state that I'm _not_an expert so please don't take what I say as gospel. I'm autistic and find medical stuff facinating, so part of it my kmowledge is conversations I've had with my Dad over the years from his 20 or so years working in surgery (he did various things like he worked in burns and general reconstruction surgery with the NHS for a long time, before moving to a private clinic to help with plastic and elective surgeries). Part of my knowledge is from his medical books, his first hand experiences he told me about and I also read research papers for fun. (Yes I'm aware it's a weird hobby).

Last time I read about it at least BII wasn't an official diagnosis, as it didn't meet certain diagnostic markers. But the Autoimmune Inflammatory Syndrome, is a decent theory that says that it's essentially an immune reaction to a foreign body and that the foreign body causes the inflammation and autoimmune issues. But I have no idea if there are more current or better-fit theories on the matter as new theories are happening all the time.

Edit: added a bit I forgot.

Thanks, I will!

[u/Pretend_Bus_9661 → u/theredqueentheory]

NO IDEA if this will work in surgery, but the only way I will numb for dental work is if I take tums the night before and then again before the surgery. I have no clue why it works but my dentist suggested it. Again, never tried it for surgery but it’s worth a try.
Before I consistently did this, I’d require 5-6 shots to get numb at the dentist

[u/theredqueentheory → u/Pretend_Bus_9661]

That's really fascinating. I did a search and some dentist sites recommended this, but I can't figure out how it works, because the body's pH stays regulated relatively in the same pH range, even if you eat something acidic or alkaline because your stomach neutralizes different pH levels of stuff you eat. Trying to find more literature on it.

[u/Pretend_Bus_9661 → u/theredqueentheory]

Please share if you find literature on it! It’s so strange. It absolutely works

[u/G_mork → u/theredqueentheory]

Thank you for knowing the science behind pH/alkaline/acid. I have WAY too many adults in my life who believe that drinking alkaline water is somehow beneficial in some way other than just - yay! Your drinking water!

Apparently it also happens in people that aren’t redheaded but have freckles. As most people with freckles have one mutant copy of the MC1R gene.

And as someone who is a brunette but has a bunch of freckles I can attest to it after constantly needing more anesthesia during dental procedures, and waking up once during surgery, lol

[u/DecafMadeMeDoIt]

Ahh the ginger-vitis strikes again. I shouldn’t remember parts of a colonoscopy….vividly.

[u/yarn_slinger → u/DecafMadeMeDoIt]

You guys are killing me. I need a new hip and am half ginger (mom was a redhead, dad was half too). I’m terrified of the anesthesia not working.

[u/VicodinMakesMeItchy → u/yarn_slinger]

Tell your anesthesiologist! You usually meet them before a procedure. I’m a redhead and my anesthesiologists have always said something like “Yep, I’m prepared to have to use more so I’ll keep an extra close eye on things in case I do.” I’ve never woken up during surgery or colonoscopies, or at least not that I can remember.

[u/ProbioticOnARobotic → u/yarn_slinger]

When you get it done make sure they monitor your brain waves so they know when you're light on anesthesia before waking up.  This is a known solution to a known problem and is 100% preventable. Just talk to your anesthesiologist.

[u/theredqueentheory → u/DecafMadeMeDoIt]

Yikes, I know what you mean!

[u/Odd-Goose-8394]

It’s probably good you have a reason to force you to do it now.

And everything will be totally fine.

I think you’ll be impressed with how much surgery and implants have improved since you last got them.

You’ll do great.

[u/theredqueentheory → u/Odd-Goose-8394]

Thank you so much for your kind words!

[u/Odd-Goose-8394 → u/theredqueentheory]

FWIW I have a redhead and every anesthesiologist mentions the red hair and calms our fears and we have never had an issue. Maybe times have changed.

You might be pleasantly surprised!

[u/Hoppie1064]

This may explain some things.

I've woken during a couple of minor surgeries, and usually need extra shots during dental work.

My hair is a deep red that usually looks brown, except in bright light.

I have some Irish genes.

I wonder if there's a genetic test for it.

All the best on your boob job retread.

[u/viaisrad → u/Hoppie1064]

totally thought you called them the r slur out of no where holy balls

[u/Hoppie1064 → u/viaisrad]

Specifically it means putting new tread on a tire.

Also used to mean redoing or replacing something that's worn out.

[u/viaisrad → u/Hoppie1064]

I did a double take because I saw the same thing as I was scanning😂😭 Then laughed at the tire joke lol

[u/LuckyNumber3_13]

Oh hiiiii! I had my double and reconstruction around 10 years ago and am actively thinking about replacements now. Did you do the MRI because you had tissue left or because something felt off?

[u/theredqueentheory → u/LuckyNumber3_13]

I felt some lumps around the edges, so had my doctor check them out, and she ordered the MRI to see what was going on, we were glad to find the lumps were not cancerous but instead the implants coming apart. Good luck with your replacements too!

[u/FamilyDramaIsland]

It pisses me off that the expiration date of breast implats is not talked about more, to be honest. It's like some kind of dirty secret, except it's important part of women's health for those who have them. It should be something family doctors help you keep track of as well. I'm sorry this happened to you.

[u/theredqueentheory → u/FamilyDramaIsland]

Totally, there should be an expiration date in my medical records, so that in X years I could have just gotten them replaced without free floating silicone in my body and lymph nodes. :(

[u/MymlanOhlin → u/FamilyDramaIsland]

There are a few instances of this within the topic of plastic surgery that makes me want to scream. The fact that so many people don't realize until after the procedure that a nose job takes about a full year to fully settle, for example. These things need to be talked about casually, even if it's uncomfortable or off-putting or seem overly medical. I hate how we're sold that plastic surgery is a borderline spa day but with bonus anaesthesia. It's of course absolutely fine if someone still wants to go for it, but the conditions that come with the procedures are so important to get to find out about for your own health and safety!

[u/OrionsBeltAlone → u/FamilyDramaIsland]

When I got mine done as reconstruction 10 years ago I was explicitly told and given a leaflet about having to replace them after max 15 years. I'm wondering if people are going to clinics with lower standards?

[u/excelnotfionado → u/FamilyDramaIsland]

I did not know others didn’t know. My mom got them done when I was a kid (apparently breast feeding me destroyed her boobs) and she always mentioned that she had to either get them replaced or taken out at the 20 year mark. So in my head I thought everyone knew they only last so long and it was dependent on kind. TIL! Thanks mom!

[u/supadankiwi420]

If you've woken up before - then you have a history of it.

DO NOT go in and say "hey I'm a red head so I'm worried about waking up during surgery."

The doctor might not take it as seriously as they should then.

Tell them - "hey I've woken up during surgery twice before and I was hoping someone could take that into account going in."

Because there are LOTS of things we have today in 2026 to solve this exact problem.

You'll be fine OP. Medical science is like new world magic. Str8 up Alchemy.

[u/theredqueentheory → u/supadankiwi420]

Thank you, I will take your advice!

[u/fiestyrosiekitten]

Talk woth your anesthesia specialist pre surgery. When they come to ask you questions mention these experiences. I don't know if you've had any other surgery since that one 25 years ago. But there are so many options to help make your surgery go smoothly.

I'm a complex anesthesia case with near crippling post surgery nausea and vomiting. My last two surgeries a year ago went so well I barely felt nausea at all afterwards And when I mentioned that they immediately medicated me for the ride home. Make sure your surgeon is also aware! 

You've got this!

[u/theredqueentheory → u/fiestyrosiekitten]

Thanks for your kind advice!

[u/fiestyrosiekitten → u/theredqueentheory]

No problem. Surgery scares the hell out of me due to my medical issues. Gotta support each other with as much knowledge as we can! 

[u/DecafMadeMeDoIt]

Ginger friend had surgery this year. Anesthesiologist came in, saw his hair, and said “I’m going to need more juice”.

But if it’s not obvious looking at you, just make sure and tell your team. Hey I got that MC1R sparkle in me, please make sure to keep a closer eye on my dosing.

[u/thatburghfan]

OP, I hope your next adventure with implants is your last and it all goes well.

I know this will sound stupid but my sister had red hair when she was younger but now it's gray. She has some fanatical aversion to speaking up for herself. If she were to need anesthesia for dental work and/or an operation, should I make a point to tell the doctor that she was (is?) a redhead?

I don't want the doctor to say to her when I'm not in the room "why did your brother feel it necessary to tell me you are a redhead?" She would be furious with me. But I'm OK with telling them not to rat me out.

[u/theredqueentheory → u/thatburghfan]

It's always a good idea to give them the information!

[u/DotSlashCrash → u/thatburghfan]

Ginger here, always good for the ani to know.

[u/Teufelaffe]

So, what I'm hearing is that implants need to be rotated, like tires.

[u/theredqueentheory → u/Teufelaffe]

Exactly like that.

[u/mountainsunset123]

My sister has had hers redone twice now because of this, she has saline implants now. About ten years for the first implants, then fifteen for the second ones. She has had her current ones in about ten years and is getting nervous. She was a triple A cup originally. Went to a C.

[u/Expensive-Day-3551]

Does your insurance cover the replacement since it was from cancer? I have patients that get implants and I always wonder if it gets expensive down the road.

[u/theredqueentheory → u/Expensive-Day-3551]

Yes, insurance does pay for it. They even pay for cosmetic 3D looking nipple tattoos every few years!

[u/SwordTaster]

Your surgeon really should have told you that you need to replace those after around 10 years

[u/MrsNuggs]

I always have a serious conversation with the anesthesiologist before any surgeries. I am a redhead, and I have woken up in surgery as well. So far they have all listened to me. I wish you a sleepy surgery and a quick recovery!

[u/jamezverusaum]

I'm a redhead as well. Make sure you tell your anesthesiologist you're a natural redhead and anesthesia resistant. They will fuck you up enough.♥️

[u/BecciRenee]

My sister had to have her implants removed last year because one turned into a brick and the other one popped. I felt really bad for her. I would have happily given her half what I have and still have plenty. ❤️ Hope it goes smoothly for you. ❤️

[u/theredqueentheory → u/BecciRenee]

Oh no, so sorry that happened to your sister! Did she get new ones? Thanks for the well wishes!

[u/BecciRenee → u/theredqueentheory]

No, she chose not to get more. She was like a B cup when she had them done in her early 20's, she went with a D at the time. Now she said she is perfectly comfortable with her B now that she is 54. To be fair, she is like 100lbs also.

[u/Jagrmeister_68]

Most implants have a shelf life of about 10-15yrs before they get replaced.

[u/ChipsAhoy65]

Let’s focus on the main thing-25 years! You had the mastectomy as a precaution and you are doing good! That is awesome.

I am curious-if it looks like confetti on the MRI, what do you look like physically? What lead you to having the MRI?

[u/SignificantFun5068]

Hi there, I’m a fellow ginger and had my implants swapped 10 years after my prophylactic mastectomy. Just remind your anesthesiologist about the redhead thing - that you need a little more juice to get the job done. Also, this surgery was 100x easier than the mastectomy. Much faster recovery too! Big hugs to you!

[u/Charlotte992]

Implants are a 10 year max before replacement and they've known about it since at least the early 2000's.

[u/Thruthatreez]

Well hopefully modern science has come a long way in 25 years. I didn't know about that resistance. But that is scary!

[u/starfishcovemini]

Just here to say I’m sorry you have to go through this, especially after what you had to go through already. Hoping that things go smoothly and this is in the rear view mirror before you know it.

[u/sourdoughbreadlover]

I'm about to get a prophylactic double mastectomy. I am 34 and already a two time cancer survivor so I want to lower my already high risk.

I have thought about implants because I developed early and always had big boobs. So I was considering getting saline implants but the outershell is silicone.

I very recently decided against implants after learning more about the history behind them.

I wish you all the best.

[u/JillyBean4179]

I have a friend who had her implants removed a couple of years ago and just went flat chested and has been absolutely loving it.

[u/dalek65]

I'm sorry this is happening to you. I heard a long time ago that that free roaming silicone can be very dangerous to you. I hope your doctors can manage it appropriately.

[u/Tricky_Palpitation83]

redheads and anesthesia? Do go on ...

[u/Jethora → u/Tricky_Palpitation83]

As a fellow redhead, medications do affect me differently. Tylenol and Ibuprofen dont do anything for me. Allegedly, its due to a genetic variance in the MC1R gene that produces the red hair and also influences pain pathways and drug metabolism.

[u/AutoimmuneDisaster]

Flat tire!! There’s a great medical show called Royal Pains… I think you should watch the Pilot episode! You’ll know why when you watch it.

[u/miregalpanic]

apparently there is an issue with being redhead and general anesthesia. I wasn't aware of this at all. I thought I know basic things. Apparently I do not.

[u/Whole_Abrocoma9105]

Bless it, I always have anxiety about anesthesia and I am redheaded as well.. Praying it goes well.

[u/beerOmatik]

I’m sorry about my question; but I’m curious. Ignore if not comfortable with it.
Are there implications with having those types of foreign objects floating around in your body?

[u/theredqueentheory → u/beerOmatik]

Hopefully not too bad, the silicone particles in the body are pretty much inert, but can gather in the lymph nodes, if the lymph nodes are damaged they may have to be removed but I'm hoping mine are ok.

[u/gumbo521]

If this is only mildly infuriating to you, then I compliment you on your level of chill.

[u/cranktheguy]

Yeah, my sister fell off her bike and got a "flat tire". It happens.

[u/Pandagramma]

[u/KaldaraFox]

Had a friend with saline instead of silicone inside them - no clue why - one of hers popped one day and just sort of deflated.

I never did it, but immediately sparked an idea for a slice-of-life novel called "Salt Water Boobs".

[u/Time-Turnover5496]

Sorry this happened to you! I did have breast cancer and am currently in the middle of reconstruction after double mastectomy (expanders now, implants in another couple of months). My plastic surgeon told me I’ll need MRIs to monitor the silicone implants every 2-3 years going forward. I appreciate the cautionary tale, I will definitely not put those MRI checks off! Did they tell you how long ago they think your implants failed?

Hope all goes well with getting your implants replaced and that your lymph nodes check out okay.

[u/Rourick_Orethunder]

I hope you turn out all right. Sounds scary, again not as scary as breast cancer. When all is said and done, get a copy of the MRI and frame the best confetti picture like a celebration of your life. Good luck dear lady!

[u/shady__beach]

Good luck! One of mine sprung a leak a few months back (24 yr. old saline implants) today, I am 12 days post op from a lift and implant exchange. I had hoped my og implants would last forever, nope!
I’m not a redhead, and I can only give you my experience but the exchange was much less painful than my first augmentation, I never needed to take a prescription pain pill. I wish the same experience for you.
Recovery still super sucks though it seems to take forever. Speedy recovery

This doesnt sound mild at all. I pray for a fast recovery.

[u/ShayRay331]

Oh shit, I have the same anesthesia thing. It takes a ton to put me out. I'm so sorry 😔 when I had my gallbladder emergency surgery u said I was afraid of waking up in the middle. They claimed "oh no we monitor you on the machines and know if you're going to wake up." They actually did an epidural for pain on that surgery. It was 3 months after I had my daughter, so I thought it was interesting they went thR route.

What general area do you live in that that happened to you during surgery? Sounds like either the hospital is trash or medical malpractice.

[u/tryingtoview]

Just another reason I don’t want to do a reconstruction. I love my flat closure and I don’t want to have any other surgery ever again.

[u/JitteryTurtle]

I had fears about waking up during surgery. It happened during a previous operation. Not fully awake, but still a disturbing memory. I could see, but couldn’t feel anything. I told the anesthesiologist when he talked to me the day before surgery, and he offered to administer a drug that causes amnesia prior to surgery. Worked like a charm. It kicked in about an hour before surgery. My parents said I was REALLY happy before they came to get me. I jumped out of the hospital bed and onto the gurney with glee. My last thought I remember was that I had forgotten to brush my teeth while I was getting ready. Not sure if I went back and did that or not. I hope I did. It was oral surgery that lasted 8 hours.

Let them know your concerns, and I wish you the best!

[u/Vuomor]

Boob joke

In all seriousness, this is a huge concern and I’m sorry you had to go through that.

[u/Major_LeeHungg]

See the problem is you need to rotate your titties so they wear evenly. 

[u/Middle_Rip_114]

No one told me, but I had heard that somewhere. I opted for a DIEP Flap reconstruction. I was 68 years old and didn't want to chance having to go into surgery when I was well into my 80s. I was post menopausal so I had of belly. It was extra pain and recovery but it's one less thing to worry about.

I really hope you do well in your surgery and everything turns out well! Sending you all the best!
