I'm 2 years post double mastectomy with silicone implants that kept flipping. I had another surgery 2 months ago to use my pec muscles to help make the pockets smaller and Have worn a bra 22 hours a day since the surgery. My right breast ( cancer side) has started flipping again. I feel stuck, my surgeon doesn't want to put them under the muscle or change the type of implants. He says some people just have implants that flip, GREAT! I need a new surgeon but I also don't want more surgery, but I want breasts. Has an else had this happen and if so what did you do? Thank you

    going flat verses implants

    Im to have a double mastectomy soon and can't decide which way to go.Do the implants feel  unnatural on your chest.Do they obsorb the heat and cold.

    Are they heavy. I'm a very petite lady.Do you have to wear a bra all the time.How does it feel to be flat?

    Implants

    i wear a bra all the time.  They are a lot of work in the beginning massaging and I think forever?  They do not feel heavy.  They are a little odd to lay on at first and even when you get up.  Most of the time you would never notice.  I have a warm one and a cold one.  The warm one had radiation about 10 months ago.  I’m very happy with them and hope they stay helthy and happy.  I had instant reconstruction even though I knew I was going for radiation.  I did a lot of research and found some skin preserving measures that I could take on a government study regarding glutamine.  I also took healthy does of collagen.  I creamed religiously with very expensive cream that has recently teamed up with Susan G. Komen.  Like buying a new car do your research.  I am not perfect but I was never perfect. Good luck!
