Thank you Kathryn, your photo's were just fantastic for me as the surgeon has explained the procedure but there is nothing more reassuring thank seeing the real thing. Since positing I have been researching and am determined to be more assertive. I have checked him out and he is experienced at the procedure and so far have found no negative feedback. I think he is just putting me off for some reason and he seems to be genuinely surprised that I don't want an implant. I have since joined Reclaim your Curves and will be asking on that site for recommendations for a second opinion as well as the Breast Reconstruction Group here. Thank's again for your response and for accepting my request. Wishing you the very best for the remainder of your reconstruction, hopefully we can compare notes in the near future.
Love, Maria XO
