Had pocket revision but isn't fixed yet...help

Hi..

I need so advice, I had a pocket revision two weeks ago because I never dropped ...After three months the PS did a revision. My right breast has dropped and it slowly getting in shape however, my left one hasn't moved. I know it has only been two weeks but I am worried that my left breast won't drop because it didnt the first time. I went and got my stiches out today and the PS says if it doesn't change in a few weeks he will have to go in again and revise the pocket. Does anyone know if it might still drop on its own? I am worried since my right one has already dropped. any advice is appreciated to easy my mind....

thanks

Hi! Sorry, I have no advice but I wanted to post. I have one side that is refusing the drop- won't even move! Haven't talked to the PS about it yet but starting to think that I need to call and make the appointment.

Geez, sorry you have to go through this! I too have a stubborn leftie (although I'm only 11 days post-op). I'm in the torture strap, my PS says after 3 months if it hasn't moved, he'll have to go back in. Your story scares the heck out of me!

My question to you is do you have to keep paying for all this???

Well your only two weeks so hang in there. I had a revision on my lefty too and it was high to start but it did drop. Just give it some more time. Did your ps say to massage any or push it down any?

Wow! I really hope it drops this time around. Have faith that it will. Good luck!

I have to have a 2nd surgery in June if my leftie doesn't drop as well.

...and now you have me curious as to how long the norm is on it dropping the second time around. I can NOT beleive your PS said you may have to do it a 3rd time!!!

That seems like complete, utter BULLS***T!!!! I pray for you she drops, it has only been a couple of weeks , she's still swollen and the muscle surely hasn't "relaxed" enough yet to let her drop...just my guess!!! I'm sure you'll drop give it a month or 2. I bet you'll see a differnce! Take care! XXXXStacy
