Morning all!
So I went for an appointment with my breast surgeon yesterday, and he has confirmed that my BRCA2 risk reducing surgery will take place Thursday 4th September (with a warning it may get moved if they have an influx of breast cancer patients, which is understandable!)
I'm going for the nipple sparing mastectomy with implants and having both sides done at the same time. And he's going straight for regular implants, as opposed to expanders etc.
I was just wondering what people's experiences are of recovery? My mum had the same surgery but had necrosis of the nipple so her recovery was slightly longer. I'm office-based so I am guessing that, as my work rarely involves heavy lifting, I will be looking at the standard 4-6 weeks assuming I don't have any complications?
