I removed my breast implants 1 year ago after only 10 days because of regret. I now feel that my breasts have healed except for some muscle flex issues. When I do push ups or flex my breast muscles they move a bit upwards and It feels like they’re pulled and I feel it in my nipples too. I have seen my surgeon and he said he has never experienced this before. I really just want other opinions. An answer. Could this be fixed? Or would it be best to not do anything? Could it go away after a while?
