I got implants Thursday!
They're in my left shoulder. I had an AC resection (end of the clavicle cut off), labrum reattachment, biceps tendon repair, full-thickness rotator cuff muscle tear repair, bone spurs removed and debridement of the AC joint.

Wishing you all the best for a speedy recovery
Not that I think much of breast implants for women who don't need them.
My implant was to replace the jawbone that was shattered in Vietnam by an AK-47 round. The first Army (experimental) operation took bone marrow from my hip and placed it into a metal mesh 'crib' that was attached to the mandible. The result was great, because the crib was designed to precisely mirror the other side of the mandible.
It wasn't until 7 years later that the graft failed. I was in D.C. on a USC college semester program and popped into Bethesda to see the Navy docs I knew who'd been studying combat facial casualties, including those of us who'd been Army. They told me I was going to lose my graft...and a month later the infection started.
The Navy docs in MD advised me to relocate from CA across the country to their area to have them do the surgery, as they'd been studying this casualty issue and had the most expertise. So I relocated, even though that meant dropping out of college.
The next op took 12 hours to separate the graft and crib from my jaw. It was complicated because, while the crib was inert, its soldered joints had had an electrolytic reaction with the tissue, turning it black and rubbery and difficult to separate from the crib.
After a few months, the Navy did a new reconstruction. They took one of my ribs and placed it to serve as my new jawbone. The op was successful, but the following infection couldn't be controlled. The antibiotics they gave me weren't reaching the graft site because of the surrounding scar tissue from the original wound.
I spent the next few months going in for appointments to remove the rib graft, splinter by splinter. The graft had been done intraorally (through the mouth), so there were still wound openings through which forceps could reach the graft.
For the final bone graft attempt, the Navy surgeons took pieces of bone from my hip and wired them together to replace the mandible. At the same time, they cut a chest muscle and routed it under the skin and attached it to my neck and jaw to provide a better blood supply and improve the delivery of antibiotics. IT WORKED!
It may not be perfect. It's fragile, and one hit to the jaw would destroy it. And I have to wear a beard to conceal the facial deformity. But it's worked well for me for 35 years now, and I have no complaints. My Army docs and my Navy docs were the best.
Unfortunately. the two chief oral surgeons of those services who personally helped me have both died of cancer. R.I.P., Docs. I will always remember Colonel Osbon (Army) and Captain Mainous (Navy) with gratitude and respect and love. 
I'm glad it all worked out, but holy crap!!
My surgeries were a lot less drastic, but I had been living with bone spurs shredding my muscles and tendons for over 20 years before getting them fixed this year. This type of arthritis is unusual, especially in someone my age and gender. Not nearly as drastic as what you had done (or why), but I'm not whining about a hangnail
