    Hi Kirsten, I had a left skin and nipple sparing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction using silicone implant last June (2016) at Auburn public hospital. My surgeon has stated she wants at least 12 months before she looks at reduction/lift of the right breast and then fat grafting to tweak both and increase the perk factor. Initially in my ignorance I thought it would be done sooner,  but after having my implant soften incredibly in the last month or so I can totally understand why the wait. It just increases the already incredibly high esteem I hold my surgeon in.

    I was public in SA - I had bmx with immediate recon - I think this reduced my wait times overall - so in Total I had 10 ops that were various categories 1 - 3 I think the longest I was on a list for any procedure was 6 months.

    of greater concern was the time between suspect mammogram to bmx which was 4 months for a variety of reasons ...
