Chinese woman's implants appeared at her back and stomach

A Chinese woman Tian Hui, 39, who had plastic surgery to enhance her bust in 2002 has spoken of her horror at discovering her breast implants had migrated to her back and stomach.

She had hoped the procedure would boost her confidence after she discovered her husband Chiu, 41, had cheated on her with a younger woman. But more than ten years after the surgery, her implants began moving. Despite her efforts to push them back into place, they continued to move further away from her breasts, The Daily Mail reported.

‘Eventually when I woke up one day and found that one of my breasts was on my back and the other was down by my stomach, I realised I had to do something and so I checked in for further surgery. I was actually really scared about the damage that the moving breasts might have done to my body, and it was incredibly painful’, said Mrs Tian.

Surgeons operated on Mrs Tian, removing the moving breasts and putting in new implants.

Liang Hao, a doctor at the General Hospital of the Guangdong Armed Police, removed the material that had been injected into Tian’s breasts - polyacrylamide hydrophilic gel.

He said: ‘This material is poisonous if injected into the body. It can not only do harm to the nerves but also to the kidneys. In extreme cases, it can cause cancer.’

He said that its usage had been illegal in China since 2006. But the damage from the moving breasts for Tian was more than just physical.

Tian said: ‘My husband is colder now than ever before towards me.’
