6 years post op BMX

I had radiation on one side and have a silicone implant. That side has always been flatter and tighter, you can see ripples in part of silicone because of tightness (always that way from day one). Pockets and loose skin over time. I have started to work out and I feel the pockets have increased a bit and sore between under arm and top of breast. Is this normal? My onc seems to think it's fine. I'm nervous..

I have the same, radiated side 5.5 years ago with implant now. I also work out.

I've found as the years have gone on it seems a bit tighter and sometimes the muscles cramp a little bit when it gets cold.

My surgeon thinks it's fine though.

Do you think yours might be probably just scar tissue making it tighter maybe. ?

Bella, it could be, lots of scar tissue on that side. The pocket are seems just a bit more lately and it's a pinching/soreness feeling. Below the pocket is very tight and flat unfortunately..
