Double mastectomy with immediate reconstruction

What is your full extent of treatment? Does it include Radiotherapy?
Radiotherapy can cause tissue damage, skin that won't stretch. 
Possibly damage to implants also.
I'm sorry, but my story isn't the same.
I have a post on the reconstruction group. It was called something like 'not suitable for DIEP'
If you include more information about yourself in your profile, it can be helpful when giving advice.
Such as your age, and situation.
With implants they need changing every 10-15 yrs.
Have you been given any information about Autologist reconstructions, That is using your own tissue, from other parts of your body. These are bigger surgeries usually. S
ome options may depend on Public or Private treatment. I have been Private. The Public system seems very good. But possibly longer waits for different options eg DIEP
I don't know if I have been helpful, I've probably given you more questions.
I have a friend who has what you are having and she is very happy.

Hi @Banshee82
There is a lot of good stuff in the private group including personal stories and photos.
The website “ Reclaim Your Curves” is also very helpful and includes a list of what to take to hospital.
Take care.
