Hello everyone.
I have opted for DIEP surgery using tissue from my stomach (assuming I can)
I was just looking for some advice, thoughts or feelings from those who have had it done already. I have quite large boobs, and am NOT having a double mastectomy so will also need reconstruction/reduction on the other side to make me look even. I have been told that this will more than likely not take place at the same time
Look forward to any comments. Or a nice chat.
Thank you xx Love to all <3
