implants

Hi!  
Have you had reading material about breast reconstruction.  Here is a link to Reclaim Your Curves
https://www.reclaimyourcurves.org.au/implant-breast-reconstruction.html
It is very informative and as to the soft feeling, numbness - No, in my case, there's nothing left of the original breast and the sensation is terribly different to the original breast tissue.
Hopefully the link will help with you absorbing a little more information about the process you have been through.  

Take care

thank you .. this is very useful.

Mine feel quite firm when I touch myself.  Over 12 months the muscle relaxes a little more and your skin softens over the area. Yes it will remain numb. You will find you can feel light touch sensation (like tickling) Just not much if squeezed.

thank you so much … yes, mine are firm and numb with a tiny bit of sensation in a small area, …. thank you so much for this info.... Im not going crazy after all.  Unfortunately my surgeon did not tell me that the firmness and numbness would be a product of the surgery, was normal, and would be there for a while..  and although I have read heaps about the surgery, the firmness and numbness was never mentioned. I cant thank you enough for this info, it has set my mind at rest ...

Sadly they discuss appearance but very little about this aspect. 

Hi @susmot1,
How sad and annoying that your surgeon didn’t mention this to you. I don’t think you are alone there. Connecting with others who had had this surgery was so informative and helpful.  For me it was the hardest part about loosing my breasts. That sensation is such a sensual thing to lose. Especially during intimacy. If you would like to join our choosing breast reconstruction group here is the link. We have quite a few stories and posts from others who have had implants. 
Take care and you aren’t going crazy.

thanks Paula ,and primek,  I tried to join the group but after I put in the reason why I would like to join and pressed OK, nothing happened... so perhaps the Join option is unavailable at the moment. In any case, your information has been such a help... in desperation yesterday I went to one of our large department stores and asked the lady who does the bra fittings to  just have a look at my breasts and confirm they are wrinkled, puckered and very hard … She confirmed they are,  so with her comments, and yours,  I now know that Im not going crazy and have not imagined everything.  The thing is I just cant face any more surgery, if I was to have them corrected, so I think I will just get on with things as they are..   Im sure I will get used to them as time goes by, and Im the only one who sees them (my 30 year old son no longer lives at home) .. and Im sure there are other ladies in far worse situations than mine, so I will count my blessings !  Thank you both for your comments, you have saved my sanity!

@mum2jj @Chorsell  may be able to help with you joining the group. A moderator needs to accept you in and it's run by volunteer ladies so it's not instant after a request.

okey dokey mum2jj !   I will be patient and wait and see what happens !

@susmot1 there must be a glitch which sadly happens. I can't see your request.   I will send you a request to join now and you just need to accept it, can you let me know when you do so I can be sure it works,
