Numb breast.....Anyone else have this issue???

So...my right breast is 90% numb. And when I mean 90% numb I mean if I look away from my breast and have someone touch it I don't know they are touching it in certain areas. I was hoping this was just part of the healing process but I got off the phone with an assistant and it most certainly is not......... So I'm scared. Thankfully my other breast is fine, though it does get odd sensations from time to time like it's about to go numb. I'll be seeing the Doc Tuesday. All I can say is I pray there is not additional surgery and if there is that they don't make me pay for in since it isn't anything I did wrong. Obviously not all surgeries will go perfectly, so I'm not mad (yet, haha) about this. Things happen, things do go wrong- but it wasn't me who placed the implants so I def )hopefully) should not have to pay for any extra surgeries. Right? (This is all just in hypothetical thoughts of if I have to go back for surgery to see what is going on). Really worried.... I mean, the assistant I talked to almost sounded 100% perplexed. She had to keep asking 'numb?? as in...like, when you put your hand on it you can't feel it??' she kept asking so obviously it isn't something they've (or at least she) had heard of happening. Bleh....
Any one else have this issue at all??

About the numb boob. Mine are both numb from the nipple down to the incision. It is a weird numbness, because I almost can feel something, but not. On Monday I saw my surgeon. He told me that when an implant is placed under the muscle it stretches out the nerves. This can cause areas of numbness. It is normal, at least in my case. I only mention that part because only the doctor who operated on you has the say of what is to be expected. I hope you feel better soon :)

Aw, I'm sorry. It is such a weird feeling to have no feeling, haha. I hope your feeling comes back soon! Did your surgeon say anything about if the feeling will at least eventually come back? I'd like to be able to feel mine at some point. I can't tell when they are coming out of my top for god's sake, haha. I actually asked his assistant if I would look any feeling and she said if I do, then it would only be temporary... Hopefully it's just like what happened to you and it's nothing serious where my boob will fall off, haha. Thanks for letting me know about your case. I'll be seeing my doc tomorrow so, I'm hoping for good news.

11 days post op

Okay, so my last review was written when I was extremely loopy. Yeah, bad idea. Haha.
It's been 11 days since my surgery, the girls are doing a lot better. At first they were extremely stiff and firm but they've soffened up. Some days they get stiff some days they get softer, it's kind of weird. They only ranomly hurt and I still have to be careful how I sleep. I sleep with a panda stuffed animal and it's shape seems to be perfect to my girls needs, haha. I gave up on the pain pills (10 mg percocet) after I think the 4th day. They just didn't work. I know pain pills pretty much DON'T work, but they usually make me sleepy. At least when I had my car accident I was given vicodine and morphine and such and those didn't take away the pain but at least they made me sleep it away. I asked twice if I could be switched to something else but for some reason they refused to understand that the pills weren't doing squat for me and said to just take IB prophen. Yeeeaahhh. :/ Needless to say it's been a very painful recovery because of that- that's the one huge complain I have as well as the fast that I was told taking only a week off from work would be fine. Yeah no. I can't stand for more than ten minutes without going into pain (because of the lipo of my legs) and so I had to take off more time from work and I go back in the 17th and I know I'll be dying then. I'm kind of upset because I'd rather be told an honest time frame of when I would feel good enough for work and not have to keep calling out and inconveniencing my employer.
Anywho. My next post op is the 27th, that I guess when I'll start to wrap my breast to help push em into place and also start the massage process. I'll hopefully get my stitches out by then as well.
Here are the pictures that my phone refused to post.
