I have had my round saline under muscle implants for 8 years now and am terrified that they will deflate. I just finished breastfeeding and got some scar tissue from the excess bloodflow in my breasts. Would the implant rubbing on the scar tissue wear out the implants faster and cause deflation? My doctor is really busy and if something happens, I would have to wait 11 months for surgery!
I feel as if my muscle fibers are being rubbed against the grain when I make certain moves with my upper body, and also when I take big breaths in certain positions. I am only getting this feeling in my left breast. It doesnt hurt per-say, but it definitely feels weird. I had my BA 3 months ago. Has my body grown the protective sheath over the implant yet? Is it possible that my implant pocket could be stretching? Should I calm my intensive workouts until this feeling subsides?
Submuscular silicone implants under the muscle since 2012. They look and feel fine. Occasionally I experience a rubbery balloon feeling under one of the implants, when I exercise, suggesting that the implant may be rubbing against surrounding tissues or even my ribcage . This is especially noticeable when I move the implant around in circular movements or when I run . I can actually hear the implant rubbing and squeaking as it moves. Could this be an indication of a ruptured implant? Thank you.
I suppose I'm not sure what I expected, but maybe I'm just looking for some reassurance. Based on my pre-op pictures, does it look like my implants are positioned properly or are they too far apart? I guess I'm a little surprised at how much they extend past my chest. My arms actually rub up against something now. Any honest answers are appreciated.
Sometimes my right breast gets this (idk how else to describe it) tearing or like someone is rubbing sand paper inside my skin feeling! No extreme pain but it is bothersome. Breast doesn't hurt to the touch either. Do both breasts look normal for 10 days post op? What about my incision does it look infected ? The same right boob still has a bruise underneath it.
My BA was 5 weeks ago. For the past few days my left breast has been making a swoosh noise & feels like it is rubbing against my ribs. It happens when I lean forward. It is a bigger size implant than my right side & is not as far along in the healing process. Should I be worried or is this normal? Thank you for taking the time to read my question & giving any suggestions on what's going on!:)
I have been experiencing a strange squeaking sound in one of my breast implants and it's extremely annoying ... like fingers across a blackboard. I can also feel the sensation of the implant rubbing on the rib or bone. It started at week 7 which concerns me because what I have been reading is that it's normal for early post op but this is 7 weeks later. It's been going on for about three weeks and does not seem to be getting any better. I can also feel the implant shift when I bend forward and that, too, started at the same time. I have been wearing firm support in the daytime and a sports bra at night. I am beginning to think that maybe the sports bra is causing an issue because it holds me very firmly and could it possibly be pushing on the implant to stop any pocket formation? I am curious as to how a pocket forms around a breast ... what will help it. If a pocket forms, wouldn't the rubbing stop because there will be a cushion between? Will a revision surgery help fix the problem? I am beginning to regret getting the implants. Although my ps doesn't seem concerned because it can't cause any harm, I am not happy with the squeaking sound. Thanks.
