    Hey ladies, does anyone know the very early signs of CC?
    My right bob just does not feel right. It’s higher, sensitive, feels firmer and feels bruised. I can also feel the implant moving too. The nurse noticed this last week and said it’s probably just taking longer to settle, but I’m worried as I’m now 4 weeks PO and it’s seems to feel worse! Feels sensitive, itchy and sore!
    Any advice greatly appreciated xxx

    I don’t know the signs but I am feeling the same about my left one. Might sound strange but when I sniff up hard and my chest tenses I can really feel my left implant and it’s wierd x

    Hi Kate and Becca, try not to panic. I’ve heard a lot of stories about one boob being more problematic than the other in terms of pain/swelling etc It could also be firmer if you had less breast tissue there before.. my surgeon told me at my 2 week check up that my right would feel softer than my left because I had more tissue there to begin with. Becca you sound like you have what I’m experiencing at the moment (and from what I’ve read it seems normal – fingers crossed) as I’m also getting a tense/pulling sensation in one boob when I breathe deeply (again my left… maybe due to less tissue so takes longer to settle?)It’s really uncomfortable but from what I’ve seen I think it’s just the implant taking longer to settle (I’m 24dpo) xx.
