Implants removed & PS lightly scored the capsules. No contracture, thin capsules, implants intact, & drains. Post surgery, I noticed that I had a small bruise on the side of 1 nipple & directly under that there was an oval shaped dent. I was told to start massage 1 day after surgery. It hurt a lot so I stopped. The indentation is still there but has slightly improved. It feels like missing tissue. Should I massage that area or will I cause damage? Getting advice from my PS isnt an option.
Im about 6 days post op from my breast augmentation and I just dont like having implants. The feeling of them on my chest (besides the normal tightness and pain) is very unpleasant for me. My surgeon did a great job so I dont have any complaints there. I honestly just really dont want them. Implants size :590cc hp Height: 54 Weight: 140lb I wanted implants for years so this feeling is surprising to me as well.
After BA 4 yrs ago right nipple & skin around it has been numb. Now 8 days post explant & getting tiny bit of feeling in nipple, but surrounding skin above, below & to right of areola does not react to cold, heat, anything. The sensation I do get is one of pressure and discomfort. Is this something that will reverse or get better gradually with the implants removed? The BA was 425cc Silicone HP Mentor Under the muscle, and I was a 32D to begin with before the BA.
I explanted 234 cc implants 6 days ago. I had 3 sets of implants for a total of 42 years. My chest has become concave due to the pressure of the implants on my ribs for so many years. I am naturally almost flat and now the small amount of tissue has sunken into the dent and probably adhered. How long does it take for the chest to come back to its natural shape, if ever? Any recommendations for dealing with the adherence as well?
I am 6 days post, implant removal, reduction and full anchor lift. So my breast have really been through it. I am developing a lot of bruising, some swelling and a few dents. Is this all normal healing or should I be concerned. Thank you in advance for any support or advice.
My drains were removed 5 days ago, as they were collecting very little fluid. However, the area near the site where the drain was is a little puffy and I'm wondering if it could be trapped fluid. What happens to residual fluid after the drains are out?
I am post-explant day 7. I have a dent at the bottom of my left breast that I'm fearful will not fill in. There is no dent on my right breast, however. My PS seems confident it will fill in, but it appears worse today than yesterday. Am I deformed forever or is my PS right?
Hello, I am one week postop for breast implant removal. I forgot to ask my surgeon if I should massage the scars and also how long I should wait before wearing an underwire bra? He said I could wear a normal bra instead of my sports bra but I forgot to ask about underwire bras.
