yes definately join the choosing breast reconstruction private group on here and also have a look at the “ Re Liam your curves” website.
I actually decided to have a double mastectomy and DIEP flap reconstruction ( lost the nipples ).
I had it 9 months ago.
I was very emotional in the beginning but have got a lot better.
The new boobs are not the same as they were before and they took a number of months to settle and “soften up “ but now they feel like boobs in my hands it’s just that they don’t have much feeling.
Thet do look great in a swimsuit and with clothes and the bonus for me was I went from an E cup to a C cup and can now buy lots of clothes I never could before.
I also lost 10 kilos before the operation ( it was a delayed surgery as I had radiation) and got fit again so I really am a “new me.”
I am still deciding whether to get nipple reconstruction or just get 3 D tattoos.
All the best with whatever you decide , and you will get lots of info from the sources mentioned above.
