Rachael Finch has surgery to remove burst breast implants

TV host and model Rachael Finch has successfully undergone surgery to remove her breast implants which burst and went undetec­ted by doctors for two years.

Rachael Finch emerged from hospital on Saturday following the removal of her breast implants.

The brave former beauty queen, who has been open about the procedure on her social media since she was admitted to a hospital on the Gold Coast early on Friday, posted an update on Saturday confirming the surgery had been a success and her implants safely removed.

It comes after the model and influencer revealed she had breast enhancement surgery at age 17 but began experiencing severe pain two years ago.

Rachael Finch has had her beast implants removed after one of them ruptured and went undetected for two years.

After a handful of misdiagnosis from various specialists Finch eventually discovered one of the implants had ruptured and was leaking into her body — a breakthrough that led to her immediately scheduling surgery.

“I just got discharged from the hospital and had a pretty good sleep,” Finch told her Instagram followers in a video posted on Saturday.

“The doctor has said that over the next couple of weeks he wants me to be like a T-Rex, (meaning) don’t stretch my arms out at all and keep everything within a small range.”

Finch posted updated on social media.

Finch updated her fans in an Instagram video.

Prior to surgery Finch told fans she was looking forward to being rid of the implants.

“I will wake up a few hours from now in a world of pain, with small/no boobies, unable to hold my children, but a weight off my chest like no other,” she said.

Fans and celebrity pals have taken to Instagram to congratulate the one-time Miss Universe Australia for documenting the procedure.

“So important that you share the highs and lows. Just the raw truth,” wrote a fan.

‘TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS’

Model Rachael Finch has urged women to trust their ­instincts when it comes to their health after her burst breast implant went undetec­ted by doctors for two years.

The former Miss Universe Australia had surgery on Friday to remove both her breast implants, which Finch described as being “a part of (her) for pretty much all (her) adult life” after she got them when she was 17.

From her bed at a private hospital on the Gold Coast, Finch reassured friends and fans that the operation went well and that she was under the care of medical staff as well as husband Michael Mizner.

“Just woke up from surgery. Feeling groggy, tired and in pain but feeling overall good,” Finch said.

“Thank you so much for all your loving, supportive messages, it means so much.”

The 32-year-old added that her procedure had been an initial success, with doctors and nurses telling her it had been “amazing”.

Finch said she was being cared for by the hospital and husband Michael Mizner.

Finch urged women to listen to their instincts when it came to their health.

Taking to social media on Friday morning, the model said she was “excited and … also shaking with fear” in the lead-up to the surgery, which followed the revelation one of the implants has been ruptured for some time.

“Two years ago I woke up and noticed one was a little different to the other. I immediately went in for an MRI which the doctor told me I had a capsular contracture in my left breast.

“I was told it was fine, common and nothing needed to be done urgently,” she shared with her Instagram followers.

But the discomfort graduated to pain and other symptoms, which she did not associate with her implants at the time.

The mum of two knew something was wrong two years ago, but doctors told her there was no problem.

After being “in and out of clinics for months” she was told last week that an implant had ruptured, “meaning there’s a hole with its contents leaking out.

These results were actually on the original MRI I had two years ago but were read wrong to me,” she wrote.

Finch implored her followers to “listen to your instincts” whenever it comes to your body and to trust yourself if you feel “something is not right”.

“We won’t know until after the operation just how much damage has been done,” she said. “Please, if you ever feel something is not right with your body, listen to your instinct, and don’t stop searching. ”
