Breast Implant Removal Next Week Under General Anesthesia - Germany

My breast flexes

Hi Ladies,
I hope, someone of you can help me.
When I move my muscle, my breast flexes outside. I had this problem, when I had my implants and I thought, this will go away, when my implants are out. But this is not the case.
What can I do?

perhaps you are thinking the scar tissue is the muscle??? I have visible rippling if I flex or tighten.

Hi, no, not the scar tissue, my complete breast warps outwards when I tense the muscles

Mine do that somewhat too when I move a certain way or flex at all. They kind of look squished and warped up or rippling when I move my muscles. I don't know what can be done about this....in my opinion (not professional) it is because we got the implants in the first place and messed up the muscle (permanently) in the process. My boobs didn't do that before I got implants (I definitely would have noticed that back then) so....I don't know? I'm a little scared to work out or do any chest exercises because I don't want it to stay that way!! haha. Ugh, the things we've all gone through...

Hi Cicica, I have this problem too. Its pretty severe. If you go on Dr. Feng's website, she has several videos where she talks about implants and removal:
http://www.fengclinic.com/surgical-health-clinic-news-cleveland/videos/
Basically, our muscles were cut and once that happens, they cannot be used and atrophy. They need to be sewn back down and repaired...I am very upset about this and I am thinking of visiting Dr. Feng for a consultation. I'm less than 3 hours from her clinic. I also wanted to add that I saw you messaged me a few months ago. I'm so sorry I never replied...I didn't see it until today. I'm not sure why I never got a notification. It would not let me message you back. I hope you are doing well. It can take up to a year to fully heal and fluff up so try not to get discouraged. Sending hugs [RS bleep]

Concave breast

Hello Ladies,
thank you all for your support. I think, without you and this side I havn´t had the courage to remove my implants without a lift or new implants.
I feel better and my pain is much lower from day to day.

I have a question:

Does anyone of you know, if this "concave hole" will be improve?
You can see what I mean at the picture, above my nipples.

I'm sure it will with time!, :) and massage gently with creams... You look great, it's very early days, keep resting as much as you can and eating well, drinking lots of water and your body will sort things out... You look identical to how I picture myself after Explant, except I have stretch marks! ;) Sending you love from New Zealand for your continued recovery! Xxxxx

Thank you. It´s hard for me to see the hole above, but I´m happy that I´ve done the surgery.

It definitely takes time and things change from week to week. I'm glad you are feeling better day by day! Take it easy. I just shoveled all this snow we got yesterday and I probably shouldn't have done that, I definitely felt it. Reminder to myself to still take it slow through this recovery process. You look great, though!!! See? You have breast tissue!! I believe it will fill out and my doctor says it takes 6 months (or more) to fully see and recover. You'll be more and more comfortable as time goes on.

Yes, a little bit breast tissue. But it looks like a "double bubble", I hope, it will go away!

Yes, you shouldn´t have done to shovel the snow. I wish you a fast recovery!
March 25, 2016
I had the same thing and I am 2 weeks out and it has improved quite a bit.. Be patient and take it easy

Good to hear that. I hope so.
March 26, 2016
I think you look great! I concur with all the other comments, it will take time. I'm noticing a difference and am now 24 days post op. I'm massaging cream into my breasts, they've never had so much looking after haha. I reckon it will take up to 6 months to completely heal and for breast shape to change etc. And remember to take it easy. Recovery does take time. Take care xx

5 days post op, pain and burning in my breasts

User Avatar

Hi Ladies,

this is the 5th day post op.

The surgery was no problem, bt when I woke up, I had a lot of pain and burning in my breasts.
I took a lot of painkillers, but it wasn´t much better.

Today is the 5th day post op and I have always this burning and pain in my breasts. I have a post surgery bra, which is very closely so I can´t realy good breath. They said, I have to wear this bra 6 weeks.
Does anyone of you had such a pain after breast implant removal?
I hope it will be better soon.

Hey there. I am 18 days post op and currently have some pain in my right rib but unsure whether it's bruising. I haven't suffered burning and haven't been in too much pain from the op, however have tried to relax and recover as much as possible. My consultant put a dressing on me which I had to keep on for 2 weeks. To be fair I didn't really wear a crop top until after about 10 days. I would contact the hospital if you are concerned about the burning and pain just to be on the safe side. I hope you will be better very soon xx

Thank you. I was at the hospital, they said, the breast looks good, but I think it´s strange, because most woman on this side here havn´t such a pain since the explant...

How are you feeling now? Are you making sure to take your pain medicines? Are they helping at all? My doctor told my mom to make sure I take the pain medicine consistently for awhile to keep ahead of the pain. I'm sure if I hadn't taken it or taken tylenol on a regular schedule that I would have felt more pain. I hope you are healing well!! It does take time....they keep telling me to be kind to myself and take it slow. Don't over do anything and get plenty of rest, that's when your body has time to recover....hugs from Denver!!

It might be the bra since its so tight? Are you experience redness, swelling, fever? You should really call your doctor especially if your pain medicine isn't giving any relief! I'm sorry , it takes time to heal but I think you should give your doctor a call!
