Reconstuctive surgery

Hi Tanya

Thanks for your suggestions at the moment I feel like a car who needs panel beating...lol...

I have had two quotes for body work and they are similar in price. I can get the tissue expander and implant done in a public hospital but they have just lost funding for making the other side match. The plastic surgeon told me he wouldn't be able to touch the remaining breast I would have to go to a private hospital to get that done which would cost about $5400. Doing it in both the private and public system would mean an extra surgery as they couldn't reconstruct on the right at the time of putting the implant in the left. Going private would add another $2300 and this is with a discount as I work in the hospital and he decided to be kind and reduce his fees.

I like the idea of what you have done but when I suggest it people look at me weird and say why do you want to take of your healthy breast but I just want to be balanced. How did the expanders feel?Did you have to take much time off work? Was getting them filled ok? I so wish I could go to your surgeon how did he do it so cheap?

Good luck with your next surgery, I am so happy for you and wish you lots of good health. Please let me know how you go I will be thinking of you :)
