Hello All,

Apologies, I am new to this. So bear with me whilst I get a grip with how this all works. I had initially posted this on another group & have been thankfully advised to redirect my query here.

I’m looking to hear from those whom have had a double mastectomy and flap reconstruction. I’m trying to make the decision myself over implants and hoping true experiences will help me make that decision. 

Thank you in advance. 

  • Hi

    I am afraid I can offer no advice to you, but I'm bumping your post up and by doing this hope that someone else can help with your double mastectomy and flap reconstruction question.

    Kindest wishes to you,

    Wish i could help hun but I'm waiting to make the same decision as you. I hope some more fab ladies post their experiences of different surgery. I've had surgery for ovarian/fallopian cancer so I'm not sure what surgery they will recommend but will find out in September when I see the surgeon. My mum has had breast cancer and then ten years later had tramflap reconstruction surgery. We have found  out that we have the BRCA2 gene and are both going to have risk reducing surgery. Xx
