    Hello ladies!

    It’s been a while since Ive been on here since I’ve been happy up to now. I had my op in October 2016 – 275cc in the left and 300cc in the right under the muscle with a modified mastopexy (partial uplift). After 3 months I thought the 300cc looked a little flat in profile but nothing to write home about so the surgeon signed me off and discharged me.

    Now 6 months post op the 300cc feels harder than the other and it’s as though the implant is sitting hard at the back and my natural breast tissue is sagging over the front of it. It doesn’t look a whole lot different at the moment but my partner has admitted it’s starting to look a little odd in profile so at least I know I’m not going completely crazy!

    I’m not in any pain. I’m just really concerned that after 6 months I’d of expected it to have softened a lot more??

    Please offer advice!

    Hi Laura, I’m only 6 days post op, so I’m only at the begining of my journey. I would deffo get intouch with the clinic and ask for an appointment with your surgeon so he can assess it for you, the implants are insured for 3 years so they will look at you and either reassure you that everythings okay or advise you if there is an issue. hope everything is okay hun, better to put your mind at rest by talking to your surgeon xx
