Hi all I know this may be a rare situation but I had LD reconstruction with implant in 2004. Recurrence grade 2, in 2025. So lumpectomy, capsulectomy and replacement of silicone implant last July, radiotherapy 15 fractions in October 2025.
Recently my reconstruction has shrunk, is harder and lumpy. Pulling in along top flap scar and lumpectomy area. Its sitting much higher than remaining breast. I saw my consultant in November and had an ultrasound, which showed post operative changes. Its much worse now.
Just wondering if this is expected changes when radiotherapy is done on a new implant and old recon. Has anyone had a similar experience?
Im back for annual check up 6th next month. Xx
