Hiya, I'm having bilateral mast with recon in a few weeks. So finally past the planning phase. I found it very difficult. My advice would be to research the types, decide what suits you, then find a plastic surgeon who does that procedure. I found they seem to specialize in a specific type. I saw 4 plastic surgeons till I found what I wanted.
I also went public for it, so no costs involved.
I'm having double DIEP. I chose to do both breasts to remove the possibility of recurrence or new breast cancer.
Good luck
Louise
