Reconstruction and implant moving

Hi Scamper welcome to the forum..I had a different type of breast cancer from you so don't have all the relevant info to be able to answer fully. However, by my answering it will bump your post back to the top of the thread. Hope those antibiotics have helped as it does sound like there has been an infection in the area they drained. Best wishes Gail x

Hi Emma,

I had mastectomy with immediate implant reconstruction on the left side. Mine over the first few weeks and maybe months dropped quite a bit from what it was after surgery so it would best match the other  and i knew this would happen. But I did also have a time where it seemed a different shape like I had slept on it and it was squashed (It was when I was going through chemo unwell and spent a coupld of days in bed) it eventually went back to normal! but certainly took a while! if you feel it's not right you should get an appt asap to have it checked especially if the swelling has gone and it's still not right.

Thank you. I have an appointment Weds so hopefully we can sort it x

Good luck with everything x

Thank you. x

What I would also say if you are having radiotherapy make sure you do lots of the exercises all the way through RT and after. Everything was fine for me and then I had RT and my arm/shoulder movement has tightened and I'm now waiting for physio, it is slowly getting better but I had it end of Feb. X
