When Irena D. received her size F silicone breast implants, her plastic surgeon never informed her that she should be careful when flying. She had to learn this lesson the hard way when her implant exploded as her flight landed at Los Angeles International Airport.
Irena claims she did not feel well when she boarded the flight traveling from Moscow to Los Angeles. Her condition deteriorated as the flight progressed, leading to her ultimate collapse as she was exiting the plane. Little did she know at the time that her problems were caused by a defective breast implant.
According to doctors, the flight may not have been the only reason for the rupture of her massive F cup implant. However, it is clear that the change in pressure during the flight exacerbated the condition of the defective implant.
Irena is currently recovering at home. Doctors have ordered her to remain in bed for at least a week. She has been informed that her implant cannot be replaced. Poor Irena. She will probably look quite awkward with one size F breast and one deflated breast.
For all women considering breast augmentation, let this be a lesson to you. Be very careful when deciding on your implant size. If you choose to go too big, you run the risk of putting too much strain on the implant shell. As Irena D. has shown us, this makes regular activities such as traveling on a plane quite dangerous.
What would have happened if she were flying to a third world country when this disaster struck? She may have been stuck with massive quantities of silicone floating around in her chest until she returned to the States.
I suppose Irena has started a new type of “Mile High Club.” I am not sure if she is the only member of this club, but I would imagine that at most, there are only a select few who could boast a similar achievement. Congratulations Irena. I hope you enjoy being a trend setter.
Well it is sad to see the implant go bad…. I can truly understand the emotional and physical pain she might be going through
