when will my implants (aka twin peaks!!) settle and soften ???? ouchhhhhh!!!!

Thanks Kath @primek . Hi @gingerninja can totally relate to the pain from the sentinal node biopsy and the underarm area that felt like it had been attacked by a cheese grater. I started wearing my mastectomy bra from the day after surgery but I used a bra extender and my beautiful breast care nurse gave me some thick dressings to pop underneath my bra line to ease the pain. I did have a tightness in my chest but did not associate that with any pain. My implant was initially quite firm and I did have a pronounced implant line at the top of my breast. This did however disappear as the implant softened. The softening has been incredibly gradual - so gradual in fact that I noticed a dent in the top of my breast where the implant has softened and is no longer filling the area to the same capacity (certainly not a big deal and I just really noticed it in passing). I think the biggest softening occurred about month 10 and that is when I noticed that I could actually sleep fully on my side a slight twist and my shoulder twisted back to not squash the implant. Just a full on the side sleep. Yayyyyyyy!!!! Gingerninja it is all so gradual that you probably won't even notice it. I was so very used to sleeping twisted or fully on my back that it in fact took me a couple of nights to realise the change. It does get very much better. Xx Cath
