I had my implants removed 8 days ago. It was a simple Explant, no drains placed. My recovery has been super easy, little pain and I feel good. I had my follow up today and my PS said I have fluid in both breasts. He said it's nothing to be concerned with and my body will reabsorb it in time. I'm not having any pain, but it freaks me out that it could get worse or infected later. I'd like to know what I can do to encourage it to reabsorb. Compression? Massage? Light activity? Heat? Ice?
