I am approaching my one year mark of having my surgery in just a few weeks. My left breast has always been a little troublesome for me. It was numb for a long time and I still think it may be. Upon palpitation, both breast feel the same and look the same. However, I feel like I can feel the implant on my left side when I move certain ways.
