Lingerie Expert Knew Not to Choose Implants
The Daily Mail in the UK yesterday profiled cancer patient June Kenton, who declares in the article, "When I fell victim I knew I’d never have an implant." Why is this significant? Because not only is June a long-time breast cancer awareness activist, she is Queen Elizabeth’s own custom bra-maker and owner of the upscale London lingerie shop, Rigby & Peller.
A regular exam found cancerous granules in June’s left breast, which required a mastectomy. She says,
"I’ve always been so aware of mastectomy because of the business and campaigns I’ve been involved in, and I immediately said: ‘Well, if I do have to have a mastectomy, then I want to have breast reconstruction from my own tissue.’"
But why were implants not an option for her?
"Implants can be wonderful if you have both sides done, but a lot of the time they aren’t so wonderful.
"We see instances where the implants have shrivelled up or moved and sometimes the two breasts don’t match. Also, when you fit a woman’s bra and ask her to bend forward while you do it up, the (silicone) breast doesn’t fall into the cup properly because it’s become solid. This means another operation is required to have it removed and a new one put in."
Imagine all the breasts June has seen in her line of work. When it comes to breast health and beauty, this is one person who knows what she’s talking about!
