Hello , 

I am new at this , I wonder if someone can help me ,

I had a mastectomy 2 weeks doing well, I noticed my right breast (implant) is getting smaller and soft , the left is normal and very hard. Is this normal ?
And I noticed every time I have a cold drink I feel it going down on my chest is this normal? 

  • Hello there, I had a mastectomy in Feb but couldn’t have reconstructive surgery due to the pandemic. I can have it later they tell me. I can’t help with the feel of the implants but I did have the same feeling when drinking a cold drink. My breast care nurse said it is perfectly normal and most ladies get the same sensation. It does stop though x 

    Good luck x
