Hi
I've recently (3 wks) had skin and nipple sparing mastectomy and teardrop implant - had lumpectomy and node removal in Nov, another slice taken in Jan, but they were still finding pre-cancerous cells. I've now had drains out and things starting to settle but the implant is 'huge'! I discussed with consultant that I'm happy to have implant but wanted to keep it smaller as I'm carrying a bit of weight currently (and I carry on my belly and boobs) but that comment seemed to be missed. I now feel I have a massive and very solid (in comparison) right boob compared with a droopy (I'm 56 and have had 3 kids) smaller left boob.
I've always hated their size anyway and this has now just been compounded.
I wanted to ask if anyone had had this type of implant before and know whether things settle ie. drop a little and perhaps reduce in size?? I won't be able to cope with the way things are currently - aside from the difference/imbalance between the 2, I cannot cope with the size. I will have to have it replaced and then have something done to the left to match.
Any advice?
Thankyou
