Silicone Implant after Mastectomy

My recon is under the muscle so it is held pretty firm by the muscle, ie no bra needed. The implant itself is soft and squishy after five years. There is some tightening along the scar line which is on the upper outer area. I can feel the implant if I think about it. The breast distorts when I move my pec muscle. This is not a big deal for me, and it is kind of funny.

It took me a long time to forget about the feeling of the implant behind the muscle. Several years in fact. It was very painful for the first few months as the muscle stretched. I am glad my implant is behind the muscle. Hopefully I should be able to feel any new bumps since any remaining breast tissue is right up front.

I have had mine for a year and a half and they are still quite hard but fairly comfortable. I usually get through most days without thinking about them until I go to lay on my side at night. I have noticed that they always feel very tight the day after using my chest muscles in exercise or chores.

I'm only 3 months past Exchange with silicon implants but am starting to NOT notice that they're there. (I am kinda a WTF person...so maybe this is just me.) I do have "tightening" or tightness along my incision line (IMF) but am going to work with a myofascial PT on this soon. It's less for sure than it was with TEs however. I expect them to feel maybe less hard as time goes on. I guess there could still be swelling, though they're starting to look pretty good to me. Really, they are not hard so much as solid. Mine are also under the pec.

I am in Canada and am planning a BMX in the new year. Now, I am too old for perky boobs, haven’t had a lover in 30 years, and have been single all my life, by choice. I breast fed my babies, so they served their purpose. Because at 67 and still employedin the medical field, I feel I need to maintain some breast semblance to look professional. I enjoy the convenience of my already attached boobs, but if I were retired, I would go flat. I am looking for the least painful implant procedure...preferably over the pectoral muscle. Does anyone have input a single to what I could expect pain and discomfort wise with this type of procedure?

This is the route I wish to follow. Do you ever get used to the implants? Does the uncomfortable sensation ever disappear

Apparently we do not have this in Canada

Thank you for that information. Now, to process my feelings and decidehow to proceed. I have always had large breasts, always hated the fact that I looked like a pigeon from the front, so going a lot smaller should be relatively easy. Hopefully.
