Breast implant after 8 year old TRAM - Portugal

Hi Megan, the swelling is still here. Today I felt quite a kind of stitching needles sensation inside my breast, but besides that, everything is fine.
Thanks for reading.

Hi Beverly,

Finally I had may drain out today. Ten days after the surgery. My breast is still swollen, but I feel strong and confident. I hope my TRAM was not affected. The surgeon told me today that I have to massage the breast, but it is a strange feeling to have the implant inside.
I still have to wait for a few weeks to see the result, but so far so good.
Thanks for reading. God bless you.
Hugs and Kisses.

Hi Beverly,

I had my surgery on 6th september and returned home yesterday 7th. Today my drain had 100 cc and I went back to replace the container. It drained a lot, I think, but the doc said it is quite normal. I am going back tomorrow again to see my surgeon. No pain actually, only if I keep my bra closed and very tight. Its the drain inside that is hurting. Besides I fell fine but dont know yet how he breast looks like. Its a bit swollen.
I was sleeping during the whole procedure and woke up quite relaxed and no pain.I did'nt even vomit, which usually happens to me after surgery.
I feel in a good mood.
Thanks for reading my comments.
God bless you all.

Hi Beverly,
Hi everyone,

I will have surgery early September 2011.My doc says I will stay 2 days in hospital but does not say much about the procedure. This is how docs work in Portugal...He only told me that will be ok, although my breast will not look exactly like before. I have enough skin to receive the implant under the tram.
I am worried, but I will keep you updated.
Thanks for caring.
Hugs and Kisses from sunny Portugal.
