Hi there
I had a lumpectomy and radiation 8 years ago and cancer has recently come back. I had a mastectomy and breast implant at the same time in August 2020. In October the nipple had to be removed and that is the problem as it is not healing. it's been 3 months and surgeon is saying that it won't heal and now I need another op to replace the implant with a smaller one. good luck, your at early stages, hope it all works out
