I am still undecided about whether to go down the reconstruction path and have read these comments with interest. I thought that it might be useful to add that I was discussing this with my bra-fitter the other day and she said that she has spoken to many women in the course of her work and that the biggest thing that she has noticed is how many go in to it not realising the magnitude of the surgery and also that the results are often not what they had expected (whether due to unrealistic expectations or not being made aware of outcomes).
