How long did your shooting pains last after explant?
WORTH IT$2,100
Hello I am four 4.5 months post explant and I am still having shooting pains in one breast. Is this normal? How many of you had these kinds of pains and how long did they last?

Yep, seroma.
I saw my doctor today and I'm not sure how much fluid he removed but he did needle aspiration and filled 3 syringes. Beware, explanters if you're fluffing too soon it might not be fluffing! He said I'm doing too much with my arms. Which is really only about half the stuff I usually do with my arms, so I don't know how much less I can do. I'm bound up tight and have to see him next week to see if there's any more fluid he needs to draw out. Sigh. I guess couch surfing is the only thing I'm going to be doing the next week. Sounds a lot more fun than it really is.

Glad you got it taken care of. I'm aching to start moving more too, but I'll take your words of caution. Just a few more weeks and then it'll all be in the past!

I am 25 days post and have a lot of irritation in breasts and nipples yet. No seroma, I am deflating, no swelling. I am surprised but have seen this with others on this site. The more I move around the worse it is...feel like I have been chillin way too long! Anxious to get my house cleaned properly, I sit around a lot!

Swelling of one breast but no "sloshing" or the "wave"
The right is DEFINITELY more swollen than the left today. I don't notice any fluid sloshing or this "wave" everyone talks about when there is seroma. Can fluid build under the muscle in the empty pocket? My upper pole "fluffing", I don't think is fluffing because it is so drastically different than my left. I have been bound tight with bandages since my surgery two weeks ago. Every day, every night. I emailed my photos to my doctor and his assistant. I am still waiting to hear if he even wants to see me, which is weird because I have not met with him once since before the surgery. Just his assistant. I hope they don't brush me off again. Anyone have fluid buildup in their breasts that had to let it resolve on it's own (no draining) after explant? What did you do? How long did it take for your body to absorb it?

Yes, my doc said that fluid can build up in the pocket. I hope you hear back from yours soon. I imagine it's stressful. My doc said that if I did have that happen, he'd insert drains to avoid infection. Prolly antibiotics again, too. Hoping the best for you!

i had drains in for 6 days and there was so much fluid. I think you need to check if there is fluid build up. I think that it can be sucked out with a drain or with one needle.

My doc had me keep one of my drains for six days too. Said if it was removed too soon, fluid could build up and would need to be drained so I think it sounds like that's what it is. I hope it resolves itself soon.

From a men's point of view , this surgery wasn't needed. Your natural shape and size is very attractive. I think they came out wonderfully none the less . Congrats.
