Dear Kate38,
I'm so sorry for what you have been through.
I understand wanting reconstruction. I've done it. I had Lat Dorsi. It was significant surgery with 3 wound drains and took 5 months between the 2 surgeries. This probably isn't what you need.
I don't think that you have made it clear of what you want done.
Some surgeries are much bigger than others. I'm sure you probably know this.
Have you seen a surgeon, who is happy to do the surgery? And an anaesthetist ?
Is a breast reduction what you want?
Or change of implant to a larger size?
I do understand, but I don't think that I would spend a significant amount of your time recovering surgery.
Do you generally bounce back after surgery?
For me, I would prefer a nice holiday, or time spent with family.
