I had a double Masectomy. The PS used tissue expanders with alloderm. I was filled to 360 at the time of surgery. The more they fill the further under my armpits they go. Half of my boob hangs out of a tank top. Is this normal? I am at 540 CC's currently and can't tell how big they are because they look weird. I look almost flat chested from the front. My PS is telling me it won't look this way after the exchange. I am 52 165 and was an A cup before my surgery.
I had a double mastectomy for DCIS about six years and saline implants. I have developed wrinkles/folds on side boobs and armpit. I have been considering options for getting rid of these because they are bothersome when wear strapless dresses/tops. Some suggested CoolSculpting, but another provider said there is little fat under the areas and suggested surgical excision and tightening. It would be great to have a minimally invasive procedure. Any suggestions? PDO Threads maybe?
I'm 2 1/2 yrs post reconstruction surgery. High profile, under muscle. This side has been bothering me with pain sometimes, shift in placement, and harder. Now I have this. I have no nipples, no nipple reconstructed. It's not itching. A bit of soreness in armpit muscles. In foreign country right now, not close to doctor. What could this be? It came rather quickly
How do I keep from getting big dents in my breasts after reconstruction surgery? After breast cancer my reconstruction has always been under the muscle and has never looked good, this time it was put over the muscle and looks full under and on top. because of past experience I'm afraid of big dents. How can I help prevent this from happening? Surgery was 2 weeks ago with 700cc of silicone. Under my armpit has gotten fat without the drainage tubes and looks like it's forming a dent
Why would an implant migrate under my armpit? My expander did the same thing and the surgeon promised that the permanent silicon implant would not, but it already has - in 2 short weeks. And, it hurts! Sorry no photos!
I had breast cancer , had right breast removed, had 27 lymph nodes taken out, expander put in and now have 455 cc of saline put in and going for 850cc. My right arm underneath arm pit has always felt like it is numb, swollen, and tingling. Could this be from the expander or nerve damage or what? I get measured and arm is not swollen from lymphademia. Any one else have these problems?
