Numbness
I forgot to mention there's also an area on my right breast that is pretty numb. My doctor suggested I possibly get an ultrasound to evaluate the nerve damage. I'm going to talk to my gynecologist first, but I'm not seeing her again until August. I knew this was a potential side effect, so I'm not devastated, but it does feel strange when I touch my breast in that area and it's cold compared to the rest of my skin and it feels really weird when my fiance cups my breast :( Oh well. I don't know if this can be fixed? And if I'd need to get a revision in order to have it fixed I don't think I would even bother.
10 Month Update
Hi Ladies, I've been meaning to post an update for so long, but it's so difficult to get decent pictures. I swear I look normal in real life, despite the photos looking like I've got lopsided, malformed boobies.
I did 1 month of singulair and went back for a checkup. My doctors determined they think I have fibrocystic breasts, which would explain the pain.
"The condition is likely due to hormone changes during the menstrual cycle that affect breast tissue.
Symptoms include a change in breast texture, pain or tenderness, and lumpiness. These may be more bothersome before a period.
Most fibrocystic breast changes are normal. Medical evaluation is needed for new changes."
I haven't yet seen my gynecologist to get an accurate diagnosis. I still have weird pains in both of my breasts but I have a hard time describing them. I'm still super happy with my decision and think I should have done it 10 years ago. I'm wearing a 32DD.
Oh and I got engaged in February :) Won't be getting married until late 2017, but I'm super excited to try on dresses with a full chest!

5.5 Month Update: Capsular Contracture Starting? :(
Hi Ladies,
Jumping in here to do a quick update and ask a question...
I did an "emergency" visit with my doctor right before Christmas as I'd been having some pain and a little hardness in my right breast. Doc said it could possibly be the beginning of CC so he put me on Singulair to wipe it out if that's what was going on. Singulair has been shown to reduce the inflammation that causes capsular contracture when used daily for 3 months.
Almost 4 weeks later and I've been taking Singulair every day. It seems to have helped but I still get some soreness, as if I have a bruise.
Today, the bottom inner portion of my breast is throbbing on and off. Is anyone else from the July/August surgery group experiencing anything like this?
My next appointment is next week for my 6 month check up. I've done everything "right" as far as massaging, so I really hope this clears up after the 3-month Singulair regimen my doctor has prescribed.
I also started taking tumeric supplements last week because they may help with inflammation. Fingers crossed.
