Outstanding result!

I arrived home last night very happy with the result of my left flap DIEP reconstruction. I have a warm, soft breast which is well shaped and the skin quality is so much nicer than what was left behind from radiotherapy. The tummy tuck is amazing.

Mr Edmund Ek, Melbourne Institute of Plastic Surgery, has given me an outstanding result with Ms Natalie Ngan as assisting surgeon. Dr Vincent Tan was my anaesthetist. If it's possible to have a crush on a medical team, I do. The Epworth staff who managed my recovery were brilliant!

I'm looking forward to seeing how everything settles down but I truly could not be happier. I was in surgery on Saturday morning and came home the next Saturday night and feeling quite mobile and independent. My 15 year old cooked me breakfast and I've been having fun reading, doing my breast exercises and have had a stroll up the road. 

It's a great feeling to be through treatment, getting back into fitness and being happy with how my body works, not necessarily perfect, but pretty amazing. :)

Cheers
