IMPLANT OR AUTOLOGOUS FLAP
Hi ladies,
I am hoping someone couold share with me what the implants are like as a reconstruction choice.
I had a DIEP FLAP in May and unfortunately had many complications and after 5 operations in 12 days and 3 weeks in hospital, they couldn't save my right breast πso I now have an expander in there and I hate it!! IT hurts!!
I have spoken with my PS to see what the plan is moving forward and he said we can try a TUG FLAP (tissue from my inner thigh) or implant.
I really wanted my breast to be mine and not implants but I really dont know if I can go through this process of operations and recovery again (bit of PTSD I think!) and if I have any more scars I'm going to look like Mrs Frankenstein!! But I am worried about having one implant boob and one of my own tissue, will it look odd, will it feel odd etc etc. I am soked with my left breast, it looks great, feels soft, great size and shape, I couldnt be happier!
If anyone has been in the same position as me, I'd love to chat, but I'd also like to know how people feel about their Implant choice.
