Breast implant with silicone

Hi 123Katherine 

I am one of the breast cancer community champions, but unfortunately don’t have the experience you are looking for. By responding, I will have bumped your post up to the top of the page in the hope that someone with relevant experience sees it and responds. 

Hi Katherine,

I was diagnosed with breast cancer over three years ago, and I had a mastectomy with immediate reconstruction with a silicone implant. So far, no issues. It matches my other breast reasonably well. I’ve also worn my bikini since the operation and you can’t see the scarring now. Silicone implants have come a long way. I did consider a diep flap reconstruction, but I didn’t want a hugh scar on my stomach. It might not have been possible anyway, as I’m quite slim. Please ask if you have any more questions.

Try not to google!

I hope your operation goes well.
