Post explant two years. My right boob hurts, there is a lump above the right nipple that I noticed after the procedure and inverted nipple. I got a mammogram and ultrasound in august 2020 and they said it was just scar tissue, but it’s still hurting, the breast sometimes feels warmer (not sure if it’s in my head) but the arm and shoulder also seems weaker. All only on the right side. My left breast healed perfect. Could it be from the right muscle since I’m right handed? I just want to be thorough; It’s scary.
