This is an excerpt from an interview with Toni Braxton and Jamie Foster Brown, featured in the March edition of Sister 2 Sister magazine.
Jamie: Are you breastfeeding?
Toni: I tried .It wasn't working out. You know I had the reconstructive surgery?
Jamie:For what?
Toni: For my boobies,remember? My alleged boobies that people said exploded. That did not happen.
Jamie:Right. You told me that that stuff started leaking.
Toni:I had scar tissue. When they cleaned it all up,I'm sure that it affected some of the breast ducts,so I couldn't produce enough milk to breastfeed.
Jamie: How are your breasts now? Are they okay?
Toni: They're good now. They're great now.
Jamie: Did you get more put in?
Toni:Kinda. Yes and no. No,because when you get them taken out,you have a little excess skin. So they took them out and it didn't look good. So,I'm like a B-cup now. Actually,I was like a B -cup before. But when I first had them,I was like a large C-D cup remember? So the exess skin wouldn't look horrible,they put the smallest of the smallest in there.
Jamie:What excess skin?
Toni: When you have implants,your skin stretches.And I had them in for a couple of years. When they take them out,you don't want "National Geographic " breasts.
Toni goes on to say "Whenever you have somethign foreign in your body,you form scar tissue. There is good scar tissue and bad scar tissue.It's excess and it coiled around the nerve. Which means the left side of my body was numb and tingly and it just got wierd and everybody was like, "Oh,it's nothing wrong. There's nothing wrong." It got so bad that I could hardly lift my arm.
At first this interview may seem like too much information but actually it seems to be a good public service announcement for not getting breasts implants. Leaking and tingling,no thanks.It's not worth it ladies....
