Anna, I am going along well at the moment. I have signed papers for the next lot of fat transfer (via liposuction) after the middle of May. Not sure if you've read my posts in the Reconstruction group but to recap. On the way into surgery to replace the implant the surgeon said he had added lipo to the papers in case he needed to do some to plumping around the implant. Which he did. Because there is quite a size discrepency between my breasts now, even more than before, he is going to try & even them up with the fat transfer between the muscle & the skin around the implant. Especially where the inframammary fold should be. Mine is about an inch & a half higher than the other side which is making my bra slip up, very uncomfortable ! The ultimate answer would be a flap recon, but they need to sort my autoimmune system out a bit first. Hopefully if this implant goes wrong I will be in a good enough spot to have the flap done. Now I just keep an eye to see what happens.
If I were you I would be starting to look at what you might do in regard to recon, it could take a while to have it done if you go public. At least talk about it & reseach what will be best for you/what you are comfortable doing. Don't hesitate to keep asking questions.
