So I am just at 4 months post op. My right breast seems to have suddenly gotten much harder Nd higher on my chest. I'm freaking out and have scheduled a checkup with my surgeon for Wednesday... Please send positive vibes my way!!! I don't know when I'll be able to afford to get the problem fixed if it does turn out to be what I think.

I massage them very regularly... Feels like I am always massaging!! It's weird bc today it feels much, much softer. Husband asked me if it was possibly around the time of my menstrual cycle....

That would make total sense!!! Hopefully that's all it is!!! It will start to take another shape with capsular contracture too

Forgot to add that this is the same breast that has been more problematic since the get go... The day of surgery it hurt remarkably worse than the left. I had feelings of electricity and burning in this breast for many weeks post surgery... Much more than the other side. I actually even thought the same thigh was happening, and spoke to my surgeon about it, at my 6 week PO appt. He said at that time that it was fine. Keeping my fingers crossed

Thanks! I keep reading on here of ladies using this or that on their scars as recommended by their PS. Mine never even mentioned using something topical for scar therapy. However... My chiropractor has a cool laser he uses to treat his patient's various issues by healing at the cellular level. I asked him how it would work on new surgical scars with which he responded that he expected an excellent outcome. I have only had one treatment and that was at around the 6th week mark. I do plan on going again this week to do some laser treatments on my neck and spine so figured I'd bust out the boobie scars again... I make my poor chiro blush... It blows his mind how "open-minded and not bashful at all" I am.... I'll post pix after. Then u can tell me if it's with it or not

Well I have had to finally accept the fact that my skin on my tummy is just gonna be stretched out looking. My belly button is still bruised and still a little hard but overall I am extremely happy with my outcome!! My boobies have gotten so soft and actually bounce and jiggle when I walk!! I was drying my hair (bent over and nude) the other day and my husband stopped shaving to take a look (& cop a feel??) from my side and was impressed with how natural my breast look and feel while I was in that position. He is constantly asking me to wear tank tops and right shirts with no bra... Which I now gladly do!! Here's a cpl pix...
