Caved in Nipples and Misshapen Breast Post Explant. Please I Need Advice on What I Can Do if Anything?

Hi avidhorsewoman have you looked at my profile and Elle´s?? We are all it appears to be going through the same thing. I do believe the scar tissue has adhered to the chest wall and i have to try to free this through massage. I am now 2 and a half months post explant. My breasts have definitely changed. But my nipples--well they are not really doing much--they is a small improvement. I have been obsessed by them but now i tend to slap on a bra and try not to think about the nipple problem. I may need a revision but my PS said she really wants me to wait a year as it takes time to heal. The tape thing has not made any difference. But keep doing whatever you are doing. Please keep in touch and post some more pics soon. Any questions then fire away and please speak with Elle too. xx

Thanks for this! I feel already better because I am not alone. I think I have to set up a profile so I can post more pics because I am not sure how to add now. Your ps sounds like one I should have gone to. In Canada, my procedure was free because the old silicone implants were recalled. So the operation, the overnight stay, all the drugs, doc visits were paid for by the government. The problem I think with that is that the ps doesn't make as much money as he could. I don't like to think of it this way but I think that is the way it is. Since meeting x 2 with him, getting the operation and the after 1 week visit I was able to spend a total of 15 minutes with him - TOTAL. I told him after much research and given that I am 50 and have had these implants for over 25 years - I was done with this whole thing and wanted to just be natural. I am athletic and ride horses and just want to do that without the worry of falling and breaking an implant. I hit hard when I fell the last time - which brings me here in this predicament. I was really clear about this. When I went back the week after the operation to ask what went on during the operation he must have spent a total of 4 minutes with me. He was walking out the door when I was calling after him with the paper sheet still on and asked him how the operation went - what did you find - what did you do? How long was I under? He said oh your right side was a mess and the silicone went outside the capsule and was all over your breast tissue - so it took quite awhile to clean it up - it was basically a mess and that is why you have lost so much breast tissue on that side. But, he said, come back in 2 months and we will put implants back in and you should be fine! I was sooooooo pissed. What part of - I DON'T WANT IMPLANTS- did he NOT comprehend?? It made me feel that he just did this job to me with the attitude that he could fix it later. I was adamant at the 2 visits before the operation that I was not going to do implants again. He dismissed me and kept saying that I would not like the result. He didn't LISTEN to me. And he still isn't listening. UGGGG> ok I feel better now. haha. So one breast is good and the other not so much. It's interesting too that after I came off my horse at full speed - I thought I broke some ribs (painful) after xrays it was determined that I didn't break any ribs. I believe I broke the capsule along with the implant. I tasted a bad taste in my mouth 5 days later and went to the hospital where they did the cat scan. They said that my left breast was worse than my right and both were leaking but the right was ok and both leaks were intercapsular. Well they were wrong. The left was good and the right was mess as I told them it was. When I laid on my back the breast and the silicone bulged under my arm and along the side of my chest. I pushed for a quick removal. No I fought for a quick removal. I phoned every surgeon in the city and found this guy. It still took 3 months to get the operation - which I guess is quick. I am so relieved that this is out. I feel so light! I went from a 36D to a 36A or AA not sure yet. My one breast is so cute haha. The other one - not so much. But I feel great. And you are right reed69 it is hard not to obsess. My husband of 32 years still hasn't seen them and it's been 12 days. We have had sex though but he wasn't sure what to do with his hands hahaha - I'm like - rub my feet! lol. He's a sweety though and I am still madly in love with him. I was wondering if you still use the tensor. I find that it helps with the pain if I make a wrong move...how about you? and Elle? Thanks I feel better now. lol

Oh boy. Started massaging and found a big mass inside the breast. I asked the doctors online what it might be. The good breast is good. But the one with the caved in nipple is the one that has a lump. It is bigger than a gumball and hard as a rock. I am wondering if there is still some silicone in there since it dispersed around the breast. Yipes.
