What does IMAP surgery stand for? Sorry to ask.. Even if I have not had this, I might be able to point you in the direction of someone who has had it..
I have not had IMAP, but I have had reconstruction using own body tissue. I had Diep, using fat from my tummy. I am really pleased, personally, that I used my own body tissue. It really feels like me, and is warm etc. I also gained sensation in the breast area really quickly, nothing like before, - but it does not feel like a strange thing is in me. The recovery period was much quicker than I had expected.
Anyway, sorry that I can't help with the specifics of IMAP, but happy to answer any questions about using own body tissue..
Take care, and good luck with whatever you decide to do.
