Things have improved

Sorry for not updating anyone before. I was feeling down and tired.
Got the results for my exams and it ended up being a Staph infection! Supposedly it's one of the most common among breast infections.
I talked to my doctor on Tuesday and we decided to leave the drains for longer, so I only removed them yesterday. It was a very weird feeling to see those tubes coming out. They're so long and I had no idea!! lol
My doctor calmed me down a lot and said there's nothing we cannot fix. Said that in my next surgery he can definitely release that skin and scar tissue. However he said I'll probably need a small lift and the new implants will have to be under the muscle :( I don't really like these two ideas, firstly cause I have terrible scarring and I mean it! I don't know anyone who scars worse than I do. My scars always become hypertrophic and incredibly wide. And secondly, as I said in my first post, I've had implants under the muscle before and I didn't like it. I don't know if it was because that previous doctor didn't do it right but it always felt like something was there, if you know what I mean. Whenever I moved my arms or pushed something (even light things) I could feel the implant being pushed to the sides. Not sure if I can get used to it. Any ladies there with implants under the muscle who can tell me if this is normal?
Anyway, my boobs have improved quite a lot since the surgery. I have much more tissue on the left one but it has always been like that (and that was the biggest reason why I got my first implants).
I can feel both of them slowly "fluffing". The sticky skin has also gotten better. I didn't believe anyone when they told me it would get better but it does. :) He said I've been doing really well and he thinks my infection is almost all gone. Yay.
You all have a wonderful week x

Still not good
goodboobsgoneflatAugust 28, 2017
Going to the doctor in a few hours. I've been massaging the sticky skin a lot but still don't see any difference. I couldnt find any cases similar to mine and that makes me feel terribly anxious.
The fear of ending up disfigured is terrible. I've never felt so bad in my life :(

I have a similar experience going on right now. I had implants in for many years no problems decided I wanted to do an implant exchange going from saline to silicone and after 1'week I had to have an explant due to seroma and infection and now have to wait six months to get new implants, but I may decide not to get implants because this was a traumatic experience! If my left breast also folded like yours, and the skin is attached looks sad and disfigured and I felt anxious and depressed , I may not get new implants and stay Natural if it gets better with time It's been 3 weeks now and it looks the same -still healing I don't know yet what I will do. look bad but I try not to dwell on it and I started exercising and doing yoga to relax and strengthen my body while I wait focus on other things I can do with my life ... How was your appointment with your surgeon ?

Thank you so much for your comments! You're right, this is indeed very traumatic :( Have you thought about fat transfer? I think you can correct the indentations with fat, if they bother you.
I wish I could choose not to get implants again but I look completely flat without them :( I wouldn't mind it if I was skinny and very petite, but I have a wide chest.
Anyway, I've been noticing things improving. I don't feel as bad as before.. What bothers me the most is all the money (plus my job) that this has cost me.
I'm gonna post another review now.
Wish you the best. Stay strong x

It will take some time but then after you have suffered all of this you will end up looking good and feeling happy or very pleased so don't worry you will not end up disfigured. That is what I tell myself. Thanks for posting. You will be ok. Hang in there take courage, be strong. Put on a pretty dress and lipstick and don't let anyone see you cry keep smiling everything will be ok you are young and healthy.

I had sticky skin and 6 months it didn't resolve. I had a lift at that time and the surgeon was able to fix. I've seen many here go away. Look at slimjim8 review.

Not feeling so good
goodboobsgoneflatAugust 27, 2017
Physically I feel ok, but emotionally it's been a disaster.
Both of my breasts have folded into their original inframammary cease, but the left one (which was infected) looks much worse. The skin is completely attached underneath and I wonder what will have to be done in the next surgery to fix it. Can they release that scar tissue? Will it look ok once I get a new implant? Or will I have a double bubble? Not having the answers to these questions is driving me mad. I know it may improve slightly with time and massage but I also know for sure it won't change much.
My doctor doesn't seem to be very concerned. I have an appointment with him tomorrow to remove the drains. Let's see what he says :(

Hi, just checking on your progress. I had an explant a month ago and have a severe crease under my left breast. You have a lot more tissue than I do so you may have had better weight to help settle things more than I will. Just wondering how things have settled for you over the past few months...;)

I have implants under the muscle and they never felt weird until my son jumped on my chest a pushed my right one out now I feel the right one when I lift something it feels out of place and weird and should not feel like this as my implants felt amazing for 8 years before my son push my implant out !!
