Pain 3 Months After Implant Exchange Surgery

maryann1156Jun 28, 2011
I had silcone implants placed after bilateral mastectomy. I had a lot of discomfort with expanders but felt I would get relief once final implants were placed. Its been 3 months and I still have a lot of pain around the implants and a very tight band-like feeling across my upper chest. Its uncomfortable to walk for extended periods or to lay on sides. My doctor says to wait it out. I cant believe this is normal.

The quality of your soft tissues is the greatest factor in determining the size of the implant, its contour, and timing the intervention.  2.5 months is usually sufficient timing to perform the implant exchange.  I would recommend a focus on contour and not size in your reconstruction.

You are correct in saying a "normal" aesthetically pleasing areola is 35mm-48mm. However, this isn't always true for everyone. You are correct in discsussing a ratio, however, there is no specific algorithm that will give you the "perfect" areola size. Its up to your surgeon to decide what size...

Will project further than moderate profile ones, but they will tend to be softer and flatter than saline ones.  The first weeks/months after implants will see definition of the breast implants into softer more natural looking and separate breast mounds.  Do not be in a hurry to start...

Radiation treatment creates irreversible damage to the involved tissues.  The goal is to kill the cancer before the surrounding tissues is too much damages.  Once the tissues have become irradiated, or 'burned', they are a lot less elastic, a lot more leathery.  Wound healing...
