Breast implant?
Cookie asked:
I was diagnosed with breast cancer about 3 years ago, had a mastectomy on my left breast and then later after chemo I had breast reconstruction done with a silicone breast implant. Has anyone ever experience itching inside the implanted breast? I get itchy inside the implant and can’t feel the skin on the outside…It’s weird! What does this mean?

i googled “itchy implant breast cancer” and found the ff. site:
which has a lot of different circumstances that are all itchy implant related. all point to the “please see your doctor immediately though”, because what you’re describing is a better be safe than sorry scenario.
I’m in the same boat. I had a mastectomy with reconstruction with silicone implant just about a year ago.
Some times it itches like crazy and it’s sooo weird because the skin has no feeling!!
My plastic surgeon and breast surgeon have both told me it’s normal and can just be due to stretching and scar tissue
