Can you feel the ADM mesh?

Life after a breast cancer diagnosis Recovering from treatment
1

Hi everyone,

This seems a lovely supportive community.

I am now ten weeks on from a mastectomy and reconstruction with a silicon implant. Things are starting to settle down and the swelling has pretty much gone so I am pleased with the results.
However, I can feel two small bumps on the bottom of the breast and also a sort of lumpy texture all across. The surgeon thinks this may be the ADM mesh.

Can anyone else feel the mesh through their skin?

Thank you!

Hi welcome to the forum , sorry you are uncomfortable . You could maybe also post in the surgery section of the forum to get peoples experiences of this , you could also ask the breast cancer now nurses their advice ?
