I didn;t have this surgery but I have had a Left mastectomy and immediate silicone implant reconstruction and am having the other one done after I finish chemo becasue I am High risk due to family history etc.
I know the surgery sounds long, but as long as you are fit, well and healthy the length shouldn't be an issue. They wouldn't do it is they didn't think it would be all OK.
I had the option of the TRAM flap surgery but I would have had to go to Sydney to have it done (and I can still choose that option later if I wish).
