Hi I have been asked to consider this and have two questions one is what was recovery like? I have been told by the surgeon this could be 6-9 months whereas cancer research states that it could be 8-12 weeks.
the second question is how do your breasts feel when they are reconstructed would I choose this option if I was concerned how I may look cosmetically but recognising that reconstructed breasts feel different from my own?
