Breast Implant Looks Flat After Surgery? 5 Reasons Why Read Article...

I had dorsal lattisimus flap, back not sore, just feels numb. It’s not even 4 weeks and chest starting to feel less tight.

What kind of reconstruction did you get? There are a lot of factors that affect how long you won’t feel right. I had implants placed subpectoral in September 2023. It still doesn’t feel right to move and I think they haven’t completely fallen to where they’re going to be but I don’t have swelling. The under arm swelling sounds concerning like maybe lymphedema.
