Well, not much change. I'm pretty sad about it! The massage cupping has worked, but only in the "cleavage " area. I'm sure it won't work on the crease, only because there is no tissue left there, and there is quite a dip under the nipple... yep! Pretty sad!

Guys*guys* guys, I need your attention!!!
I got the all clear to do massage on my adhearing issue with my left breast.. I was told to be pretty aggressive with it. I found it was just too painful! I did some research on different types of massage. I came across a massage for woman that have had a mastectomy. . They are in pain more than we are, the technique is much more tolerable! With further research, I think I have found our answer!!!! I purchaced some silicone massage cups!!! I will get them this Saturday. . The massage cups are used for many things, especially used to loosen adhearing scars... I am so excited to get started with this, and give updates and photos of progress! ! Much love to all, and pray this works for myself, and all with the same issue!! Big hugs everyone!

hi, I am glad you have found something that might help. I am hoping I won't need it - but really glad you posted info.
Hope the silicone cup arrives soon and that it helps.

Let us know how this goes I have the same issue an haven't e planted yet my doc said the scar would need to be removed from the wall

I'll keep updating on progress! ! The cups are very inexpensive, and if it works on old sport injuries, I'm sure we have a shot at relief!

I'm hoping this works for you as well! Please keep us posted on your progress. All digits crossed!

For sure! If it's a good option for others, I can't help but share. Thank you!

Hi! I am having surgery in 8 days. I was checking for progress update! Hope you are healing and getting the results you want. Any pictures to show your progress?

A small change closer to cleavage area, but no change around areola yet.. but do show a small change if I put my shoulders back.. I'll do photos later.. Best of luck on your surgery!! It is worth it!

Thanks so much for this information and for posting your continuing progress! Lets hope this does the trick!

Hi, thanks so much for sharing! I am preparing for something similar since both areaola scars have done similar things WITH my implants in. I imagine it will get worse once removed. I sent pics to my explant doc of me flexing (which is when I can really see it) and she said that it has more to do with how the muscle was dissected than adherence. Just thought I would through that out there in case it helps you get to the bottom of it? Perhaps your surgeon could offer some sort of muscle repair? But I hope that the massage is all you need! also... have you heard of cyrotherapy? I haven't researched it enough but I think its something that could help? Keep us posted! seining you healing energy. xx

Well shoot!
I went to see the Dr. Yesterday. . NO change in the left girl, pretty sad about that! I asked I there were a magic massage to make her act right, he said there wasn't. . Is anyone on here doing massages? And how soon can you massage them? I'm only a week out, and just had my drains removed.. I tell ya, it sure feels good to sleep in bed, and on my sides again!

I am so sorry Left isn't fluffing out more! I guess just focus on your health and feeling better. That's really more important than aesthetic at this point? (Just trying to think positive!) I've seen some vast improvement on this site after a month or even several months. Your girls were smooshed under implants for so long that maybe it will just take longer for you. I would personally recommend waiting to massage and let your tissue heal and settle down first. They say 4 weeks and we can get back to regular exercise because that's when incisions are strong and won't break open

My PS never told me anything, so I've been massaging mine with coconut oil and frankincense essential oil one to two times a day since week one. I am developing a fold in my right breast from the muscle that is getting worse as I work out more. My left one has it too, but since I have more breast tissue on the left, you can't see it unless I flex. If I would have known that placing these stupid things under my muscle was going to leave me disfigured when they came out, I would have NEVER put them in. Of course...they won't tell you that.....I'm hoping eventually it will soften up....

Dang it, I'm sorry! I didn't think it would happen if they were under the muscles. . Mine was over the muscle. I've been checking into going to massage therapy for it.. but, don't want to go too soon, or too late, there has to be a happy medium...

I wouldn't worry too much... I've seen this before and it usually mellows out! But I would get a second opinion about massage... I have read its it helps. I have the same problem, BTW, and I haven't even had my implants removed yet. yoiu can only see it when I flex. I believe its because the scars are attached to the capsules. Did you have your capsules removed?

I'm a bit scared of fat transfer, after my surgeon told me he won't do it as he believes the fat is too risky for breast cancers later on.
But maybe there is some sort of revision that can be done to help things along.
