Lithuanian celebrity Oksana Pikul shared a health warning after her mother underwent surgery to remove breast implants. The procedure, performed in Kaunas, became necessary when one of the implants ruptured.
It was complicated to remove the capsule that had torn.
Pikul recounted the experience, stating that the surgery, initially scheduled for two and a half hours, stretched to four hours. A doctor explained that the ruptured capsule, from implants installed 11 years ago, proved more complex to remove than anticipated. She emphasized that these were older-generation implants.
Urging other women to prioritize their health, Pikul stressed the importance of regular screenings and vigilance. "You must get checked, you must monitor, do not miss even the slightest suspicion," she advised. Her mother, who diligently follows her health regimen, is now recovering and expected to be healthy and beautiful, as Pikul noted grandmothers should be.
You must get checked, you must monitor, do not miss even the slightest suspicion. It is important to notice in time, seek help, and sort it out.
Pikul had previously discussed her mother's health issue with followers, detailing the symptoms that raised concern. Her mother first noticed an allergy-like itch, without experiencing pain or a feeling of tightness, which prompted her to seek medical attention.
My mother strictly monitors her health, all her tests are done. Now she will be healthy and beautiful โ grandmothers should be like that.
