Reconstruction - Help?
Hello lovely ladies, I am feeling a bit lost I do not have private health cover and have been told the public waiting list for reconstruction could be years. Is there any way of finding out what surg...
Hi Minnieme, where do you live? In Sydney there are some great Drs who do reconstruction on public patients, and often the wait isn't too long. Maybe 7 to 12 months, but certainly not years. It isn't as though this is plastic surgery for vanity. A new boob should not be in the same class as breast augmentation, and so perhaps you should see your GP, or your breast surgeon and ask for a referral. I am so delighted with my implants, and glad that I don't need to wear a prosthesis anymore. I was only a B cup amd that was bad enough. Because I had a double mastectomy, I now have 2 new silicone implants about the same size that my old boobs were, and I am pretty happy with them. I will still need to have some nipples tattooed on, and this will probably happen soon. Good luck and I hope you find someone who will help you soon. Love Chris xx
