I had my lumpectomy in September 2020 and had a biozorb put in. My doctor made me feel like I had to do the biozorb since the old way was outdated and this was a better procedure to help her and the radiologist. I still have pain in my breast and have a hard lump that they say is fat deposits. I can not sleep on my side either. My doctor also said my breast would look better and be uplifted with the biozorb. I feel this product should be off the market and women I have spoke to that didn't have the biozorb is happier and not having much pain even one week after the surgery.
Who has had the biozorb taken out and had improvement with pain and their overall health?

Sorry to hear you are still having problems as a result of the biozorb. I had the biozorb implanted in November 2020 and my surgeon did not give me an option. While I’m not in a lot of pain, I have lymphedema in the breast, tenderness, hardness and significant swelling. It took almost two years for the golf ball size hard lump to soften. I believe the biozorb disintegrates over time and only the titanium clips are left in the breast. So for me at least there would nothing left to remove. If I had to do it over, I would have found a surgeon that would have discussed other options as I don’t recommend the biozorb.

I'm glad your feeling a little better and I hope your biozorb will disintegrate completely. I would tell all women to not get the biozorb it is not needed and causes more pain and worry after the surgery. No one wants to feel a lump in their breast after having one taken out, that is a constant worry. Thank you for your reply I wish you all the best.
