Hi All!

I would love to hear from those that have swapped UTM (subpectoral) implants for OTM. I had my mastectomy in 2015 and UTM was recommended. I have since developed capsular contracture, as well as animation deformity which has had a noticeable impact on my chest strength/yoga practice. I also have an overall tight feeling at all times, which I’ve grown used to but could do without…lol.

I have surgery scheduled to swap these babies for OTM on January 30th. (Crazy enough, it’s 10 years to the day from my bilateral mastectomy!!) I’m curious about recovery time as well as satisfaction with results. (Strength, aesthetics, and comfort).

Thank you in advance!!
