hello and question

Gees this is hard......I had a complete meltdown last Friday after seeing a plastic surgeon about reconstruction. I was completely overwhelmed by the whole deal. Anyway, I got over it for now. I asked my breast surgeon, who I highly respect, about who she recommends and has worked with and who also operates in the public system. Where I am, Central Coast, it seems the best (most current) surgeons do both public and private. I asked for 2 referrals, then the first plastic surgeon I met suggested a third. I'm comfortable with that. I'd also like to speak to past patients. I think plastic surgeons show you their work in photos. The surgeon last week also had a preferred technique. All this helps to choose the right one. I am also fortunate to have a surgeon friend, who works in the same hospital and found their opinion helpful too. So maybe start by asking your breast surgeon for some ideas. I think you need a referral anyway. I have noticed some ladies talk about surgeons in posts so perhaps let us know your area and you never know who might chime in. It's all good research I reckon. Good luck Louie
