Separation post TT & possible BA Issues 10 yrs post-op?

kate.001Feb 16, 2018
Hi , I’m 35y/o mother of 3. In 2008 I had a failed TT, left with sagging skin, BB necrosis and dog ears. In 2009 I underwent TT revision by a different surgeon and a BA (350/ silicon/teardrop/overs) Last year I had appendicitis and emergency surgery. Post surgery I immediately had a ball like bulge beneath my B.B. now it’s painful and pulls if I exercise. My R Breast has started aching, could this be contracture? I had an U/S that was normal it’s soft but I can feel the implant a little.

Thanks for your inquiry.  Honestly, touch base with your surgeon he/she will know how well you are healed.  Some patients may be ready at 5 weeks for more strenuous activity while others are far from it, good luck.
