Hi Ladies, I have just recently completed bilateral reconstruction using implants, and am very happy with the results. It is a much easier operation than the DIEP, and as I was small busted and had no radiation therapy,I was a good candidate for this surgery. I had a complication at 20 days, when a huge haematoma spontaneously developed. I needed surgery to remove this clot, ( all 800mls ) and then a drain for a week. This all healed with no issues, and it is now 7 weeks since my exchange surgery. I have 2 new boobs that are a size 14B, and I am very happy. Good luck with your research. Love Chris xx
