Hi
I am nearly 3 weeks post mastectomy with immediate implant reconstruction after a DCIS diagnosis. Just wondering what other people's experience is after a few weeks. I am still finding it feels incredibly sensitive/raw when I move around. A bit of skin sensitivity against my bra when not moving but it's the walking that is really painful. I think it's when gravity is acting on the implant.
Does anyone have a similar experience? and if you have gone through it what did you do to help if anything and is it better now?!!!
