Implant/stitches questions …

I’m 3 weeks po today and have couple questions…
Firstly, at each end of my scars there’s stitches hanging out, can I cut them off now or do I need to wait longer? Secondly, I can feel my implant move all the time in my left one, like walking down stairs etc, but haven’t felt my right one once, is this norm? Are they just dropping and relaxing at different rates?

Thanks ladies! Xxxxx

Hi
I’m nearly 4 weeks post op and I’ve also got some stitches left in, I did pull them and then thought better of it so I’m going to leave it till my 6 week app.I also have a funny feeling in my left boob, its as though it moves but its only when I seem to use any kind of pressure with my arm but its never in my right one. I’m right handed so thought maybe its because the muscles in my left side aren’t used as much, just a thought lol xx

@gail thank god for that, I’ve thought exactly the same on everything u just said! My left appears to be dropping quicker then my right too, is yours the same? I think it’s due to the right handed thing again xxx

Hi Katrina
When I look at my boobs in the mirror they look the same but when I look down at them with no bra on my right one looks a little lower, flatter even, my husband can’t see it so I keep thinking I’m imagining it lol. Its weird isn’t it. Have yours softened yet? Mine sometimes feel like it is gonna start. Tonight the underneath bit of my boobs and the outer side bit of skin also felt cooler/colder than the rest of the boob, still like it now, not noticed that before xx

@gail yeah mine look the same in the mirror but in photos my left looks a little lower, is softer and slightly bigger so I think the right is taking longer as my muscle is tighter that side, hoping that’s it anyway! I noticed today mine are softening now yay, can’t wait for them to be able to squash together! Haven’t had the cold thing tho! Sounds normal mind 🙂 xxx

Yeah me too, will be good to have a jiggle lol. I’m googling now this cold feeling, don’t like it lol xx

My implant felt like it was moving if I moved my arm across my body and just wen I was walking around sometimes. It lasted for about 2 weeks and that was in the boob that’s dropped. I rang the nurse when mine was doing it cause I was freaking but she said it’s just the implant settling into the pocket etc nothing to worry about 🙂 xxx
