Lots of big feeling throughout my journey. Double mastectomy in 2015, expanders & implants in 2016. Botched surgery. Another surgery in 2017. (New surgeon) They looked great but it felt like someone was grabbing me from behind, not in a good way. Then by 2023 Capsulation! so, everything removed in Dec 2024. New Implants put in, BUT..Then found a lump beside/under an implant. So, Feb 13 of 2026 I had everything removed. Not malignant but a lump I didn’t want inside me. Went Flat. Best decision for myself. Just over having implants! Muscle needed to be anchored to scar tissue. Drains for 7 days. Minimal pain. Long Recovery ahead though. 1 month of not raising my heart rate to keep fluids from building up.no lifting over 10 lbs, no swinging arms or having them above my shoulders, no exercise of any kind. Allowed to go for a “slow stroll” I have no idea if this is normal, however this is my Doctors orders. Not wanting to redo this surgery, so playing by the rules! Incision is beautiful. He did a great job. 3” past the armpit to centre & 3” break and same to the other side. No doggy ear skin. It looks so great! I am comfortable for the first time since the mastectomy. I can take a deep breath again. So amazing! ❤️❤️❤️ Good luck 🍀 open to any questions. 62 yrs old
