Hello,
This is my first post on here and I am looking for peoples experiences with a double mastectomy and reconstruction.
I am due to finish my chemo in January and have my surgery in February. I met with my surgeon today and have started to go through the options of implants and using my own fat and muscle. I am not very big and they do not think I would have enough fat on my tummy to reconstruct both breasts to a D cup so suggested meeting with the plastic surgeon to find out more options and go through it further with them.
I have spent this evening reading through the booklet on implant reconstruction and own fat and muscle reconstruction.
I originally wanted to use my own fat but after reading the booklet I feel I am swaying more to the implants.
I am going to arrange to meet with some people that have been through the own tissue reconstruction to get their views.
If anyone has been through a double mastectomy I would be really interested to hear about your experiences.
thank you in advance x
