Diep surgery recovery
hi everyone I’m having double mastectomy and diep reconstruction in about 3 weeks and I was wondering if anyone could give some insight into recovery and how they managed once at home from hospital ...
Thankyou kmakm ....... I think the biggest shock was hearing the surgery takes approx 11 hours ( I had a bi-lateral mastectomy) so reconstruction on both sides. Am quite enjoying not having big breasts actually but also do not like the caved in look. Just want it to hurry up and happen before I chicken out lol. Have sent a request to join the Choosing Breast Reconstruction group.
