Hi everone. I have a question. Has anyone had breast reconstruction. How long does recovery take after reconstruction? And are you satisfied?
Hi again Angelika 12345
I think the timing of your 2 questions must have been when no-one was around!!
Bumping this post back to the top for you as well to be able to get it noticed.
Kindest wishes, Lesley
I had mastectomy with immediate reconstruction just under 3 weeks ago. Skin sparing surgery with teardrop shape implant. Nipple had to be removed but saved a good amount of areola. Really happy with breast shape and size. I was told that if I need chemo and or/radiotherapy this will be probably harden the implant so it may need revision afterwards
I was asking the same question a few days ago. Im 10 months post mastectomy and 4 months post radio. I never thought I’d consider reconstruction, but wouldn’t mind a diep flap op, the free tummy tuck is tempting! . Are you considering an immediate reconstruction or have you already had surgery? Good luck in whatever’s you decide! xx
