Bi Lateral Mastectomy & Laptorso Op

Hi Kel, Your surgeon may do it in one go, I did my recon at the same time as a second mastectomy. I did the second of my own choice as while I was having treatment my sister got diagnosed too and I never want to have chemotherapy again. sure you understand that one. My surgeon used expanders as the first implants on both so that we could see how the skin stretched after radiation. I went back every 3 weeks and it took 5 mins to top them up in her office, she just injected saline in. We did it this way to see how the radiated side went and then match the other to it. I got sick of it after 3 times and went back for permanent implants in nov to be done before Christmas. Believe it or not the side that I was worried about that I had the lat dorsi op on came out the best! My surgeon did a really great job. If you're happy to have a smaller outcome and you're keeping your other breast then you will prob be able to do it in one go. I'm a size 8 and have wound up with a fairly standard c cup so I'm happy with that. I could have gone bigger if I kept the expanders but I just didn't want to. Are you getting nipples done too? I still have those to go prob next month or so and then I'm done. I wish you all the best with this, and I'm happy to answer as many questions as you have x
