PETE Evans’ wife Nicola Robinson Evans has been pictured in public for the first time since having her breast implants removed earlier this month.

Mrs Evans has said that getting the implants is the “deepest regret of her life” and recently announced on Instagram that she was having them removed.

“I wasn’t leading a natural life, which is why I have two toxic silicon implants attached to my chest,” she told Channel 7’s Sunday Night program in March.

“You know, I dabbled in fillers, Botox, all sorts of things that were driven by my fear ... to try and make myself feel better.”

Mrs Evans told her 38,000 Instagram followers earlier this month that she was getting her “fake bewbies [sic]” removed.

Most breast implants are made from silicon, says Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons vice president Gazi Hussain.

“They’re much safer these days than the implants first used 30 or 40 years ago,” Dr Hussain told news.com.au earlier this month.

“The original implants contained fluid — silicon oil — and if they happened to rupture, that oil could run throughout the body and cause issues.

“Now implants are made from a much thicker gel and even if it did rupture, it’s much less likely to, and that gel stays where it is. The implants now have a much more natural feel.”

While the removal of breast implants isn’t as painful as having them inserted, the recovery may be uncomfortable.

“The surgery can be done as a day procedure, but often it will require drainage tubes,” Dr Hussain said.

“You’re leaving a space behind and the body often fills that space with blood or body fluid and tubes are put in to drain that fluid. Those tubes may need to be left in for several days, even once the patient has gone home.”

An incision around 5-10cm long is usually made underneath the breast, the implant is removed and the skin then sewn back together.

“In women who may not have had much breast tissue to start with, if the implants are sizeable and they have been in for some time, you’re definitely going to get thinning of that breast tissue, so you might be slightly flatter,” Dr Hussains said.

“Not because you’ve lost breast tissue, but because it’s been flattened and stretched.

“You may need to have further surgery such as a skin tightening procedure or even a breast lift, but those have complications in terms of scars.”
