I’m 8 months post op, and have developed a strange sensation in my left breast – kind of like a dull ache to the bottom left hand side of the implant, and I’ve had it for just over a week now. I have pretty much stopped wearing my sports bra at night now. Does anyone else still routinely wear there’s whilst they are sleeping?! I don’t…[Read more]

I think it was because I was feeling so much better after the surgery that I pushed myself too hard too soon.
Don’t hesitate to call the nurse if you’re worried, that’s what I did. Hope everything is alright.
