Hi there, I decided on a double mastectomy and implants when my surgery was completed on the 30th July. I just wondered if someone who has also done this for a longer period than me, could tell me how long it takes for them to feel a little more comfortable (if ever) than they do now.

Finally finished and happy with the result. 6 years, 9 operations, 3 surgeons. Double mastectomy, 1 failed reconstruction, Lat Dorsi transfer and a second reconstruction after all the badly burned skin from radiation was removed. They look fabulous in clothes.
