Woman reacts after one of her breast implants ‘exploded’
A woman who had her breast implants surgically removed has revealed her horror after one began leaking and “exploded” all over her.
Vilde Holm Raggan, 30, from Bærum, Norway, was left traumatised after she squeezed one of the implants, leading to silicone fluid leaking out. She said: “I was just squeezing my breast implants having fun and then suddenly, this one breast implant started leaking. I thought, I need to call my doctor! What the f*ck. Now, I’m just going to love myself for who I am – no fixing.”
Vilde told how she got her breast implants when she was younger as she said she felt incredibly insecure and “hated” her body. But she revealed it did not take long for her to take a disliking to her new implants and says that she felt “embarrassed” of them when people complimented her. This led to the decision to change things and take the implants out of her breasts.
There are two types of implants, silicone or saline. Then former are the most common type used in the UK. They’re less likely to wrinkle and feel more natural. However, they can spread into your breast and cause lumps. Saline implants are more likely to fold, rupture or go down over time. If they do go down or rupture, the saline will safely be absorbed into your body.
After having them removed by doctors, Vilde decided that she wanted to touch them and feel what they were like. And while playing with the implants, one of them suddenly started leaking and, after a bit more fiddling, it exploded everywhere. However, Vilde says she is happy to have had them removed and is much happier with her body.
She explained: “I did this when I was young, when I was super insecure, I hated my body, I thought I was fat, I had no boobs and I was just super insecure. I magically thought that this plastic was going to save me from feeling sh*t. Obviously, it did not help a single thing, I felt super fake. I went from being this person who’s embarrassed to take off my bra, to being super embarrassed to take off my bra with guys because I have fake boobs so there was something I had to explain!
“So if someone gave me a compliment, I was so embarrassed and I always said ‘no no, they’re fake, they’re not mine!’ Imagine getting a compliment for something that is not you. It was so weird and I wanted to remove them since I got them – but I’ve also been too scared of other people’s opinions about me so I haven’t been able to take them out. I’ve been so scared of what other people will think if I had boobs and then I suddenly don’t have boobs.
“Now, at the age of 30, I’m finally brave and have enough self-love to get this sh*t out of the f*cking way. Now, I’m just going to love myself for who I am – no fixing. I might do my eyebrows with colouring sometimes but I’m not going to put sh*t in my system.”
