Let me just day my left breast has opposed me from the start! I'm so tired of this and very close to regretting getting these in the first place. I noticed my CC pretty soon after getting my implants. Finally I got an appointment with my doctor after my implant was squeezed so hard by the scar tissue that it tried to break out of the incision. So the doc went in and scraped the scar tissue out and sewed me back up. I have since had a drainage tube in for almost 2 weeks. I go Tuesday to hopefully get it out. However, I found a protrusion in my right breast that feels like a knuckle is pushing out of my skin. So now I'm freaking out about that. I'm trying to stay positive but this has been a rough ride. Here are some pics of my implant trying to break free!

How is everything going? Were you able to get the drain out when you had hoped? What did Dr Cummings say about the protrusion you noticed? I hope everything is going well!

How is everything going now that the drain has been removed. Are you healing ok? What was the recovery like?

Hey! Recovery is still on going. I quit my job because they wouldn't change my schedule to less hours. My left breast is still in pain ona regular basis. After working for 4 hours on a Tuesday I would still be sore for my Saturday shift :(. I brevet expected to go through so much crap. I do love the way they look! But my left scar is nasty. It's got really sharp bumps in it. It feels like I am missing tissue where my drain was and I still think that I have fluid in my breast. When they took my drain out the fluid poured out. Apparently the drain got plugged with tissue. I really think they should have put another one in. But what do i know! Lol The recovery was horrible. I pray that everything goes right from here on out!

Oh my goodness, I just read your latest update. I'm dirty things are going rough! Do far mine seems to be going ok. I LOVE my left breast but my right is stubborn and still quite high. Hopefully yours heal well. Where is the protrusion on your breast?

It's about Midway between my nipple and my fold. In the beginning I loved my left too! I can't wait for this to be over. I know that they have the potential to be amazing but I'm not sure if i can go through anymore. I'm probably going to lose my job from this and my husband has had to take so much leave from work to watch our 2 year old. Plus I haven't been able to play ball with my 12 and 9 year old. Sorry to unload :)

You've really had it rough. Hopefully once everything is doing better yoy will be happy with them! Let me know what Dr Cummings says about the protrusion. I wonder if it could be a trombosed vein or something? I have no clue though.

So I'm not add happy as I once was :(
When I first had my ba done my left breast settled so much faster and looked a lot better. However the incision was all lumpy and weird looking. Now after six weeks my left breast is hard and is constantly in pain and feels like big rock. My right one is prefect! No pain, super squishy and it feels like a part of me. My PS doesn't seem to think there's a problem so I guess I shouldn't but I can't help but think that is never getting better :(
