I had bilateral mastectomies with immediate reconstruction. The right side became infected twice and the implant was removed twice. I am currently awaiting an expander for the right side. My original surgery was on July 6,2017. The left reconstruction did not get infected but still hurts. You can feel the edge of the implant on the outer left breast and it always feels bruised and aches. It has been 3 months now. When will that pain stop? I am contemplating not having the right done and having the left one removed. I can't take this. Can anyone offer any hope?
