Despite Dr D’s best efforts, it appears that one side is happy to sit smoothly, while the other is not;
Breast implants – whether for cosmetic or reconstructive use, can ripple. It’s one of the unfortunate warnings/risks spoken about before the surgery. What? Are you going to say – ‘oh no, don’t bother?!’
Anyway, this time around when we realised the left one was going to ripple in a similar sort of way to last time I asked if it was ‘just the implant?’ It’s actually a combination of things – that’s just the way this implant is sitting/hanging and the fact that the only thing between the prosthesis and the outside world at that particular location (unlike other parts of my chest where there’s muscle) is my skin – which is very thin.
You can shrug your shoulders if you like, say it’s easy to cover up with clothes etc. etc. I know that.
It’s not so easy to get used to though. Not just the ripples – the whole lot.
What a year.
