‘My boob implants was encapsulated and leaking’
Recognising that he had been in hospital, Kate’s followers took to the comments section to issue their concerns.
“Hey, do you mind me asking what you had done and where?” one user asked. In response, Kate said: “One of my boob implants was encapsulated and leaking, so I had them both replaced.”
“Did you have your ruptured implant charged? Also, how did you know it had ruptured? Hope recovery went well xx,” another asked.
Kate said: “It was encapsulated. Six months ago, my left breast went really hard and began to hurt. I went to my GP and was referred to a breast specialist who then sent me for a mammogram and ultrasound, and that’s when they discovered it was leaking and encapsulated x.”
