Hi Trish,
I have just begun my double reconstruction, but opted in the end for tissue expanders, after seeing 3 surgeons and looking at all options. As I haven't had radiotherapy, and am only small busted, for me implants were the best choice. However I was very keen on the DIEP and found an excellent Sydney surgeon who I would have complete trust in had I decided to go down that path. The Dr is Professor David Pennington from RPA, and he is an expert in this field, and has done more than any other Sydney surgeon. He is a great believer in the DIEP over the TRAM, as it preserves the stomach muscles. 2 of my friends have also had him, so I've seen first hand how good he is. Check out his web page. I was able to see him within a few weeks of ringing for an appointment. Good luck.
Love Chris xxx
