Ladies
I need to hear your stories about how long it took for the implants and strattice to settle - if ever
It was definately the right decision for me to have had bilat mx - no regrets but the reconstruction I am not so sure about.
I think it early days my op was 3rd April, but I feel so uncomfortable with the reconstruction, it is very firm, it’s like trying to press a finger into a football, the strattice where it us stitched to the chest wall feels hard as bone. There is no give when leaning across, have to lean over. Constant tightness and discomfort on moving, lifting arms, taking t shirt over my head, getting out if a low soft sofa, or turning in bed.
Surgeon says takes6 months
How long does it really take. I know it will take time for them to drop, but that is not what us hurting.
Do simple silicone implants feel so hard. I cannot imagine these will soften when there is an inner core of saline surrounded by a rim of silica
Please let me know your experiences, if these don’t improve I think I just want to have taken out
