This is really interesting. I have had my reconstruction done in Adelaide 5 hours from home.
Plastic surgeon was excellent. I had 150ml put in when the expander was put in. I then had to wait 6 weeks for the scar to settle and then fills could have been done weekly but distance put an end to that. So I had three more fills, then waited a while and had the exchange done.
I think the most important ingredient is patience. I agree with the doctor that is closest. Slow and steady will get a better result. This is a big statement for me because when I started this I wanted it done and dusted in 3 months , Im a very impatient person.
This week I have my final trip and thats for the tattooing. Im very excited and also very peaceful because I feel Im at the end of the tunnel. Its been 19 months from when I had the other boob off and the double recon started. We had a few family issues in between and I had to put my boobs on hold. But at the end I can see Im a completely different person, much better.
Please just be patient and let it unfold over the next 12 months. Your doctor sounds good. Maybe you can put his name on here and the other girls can give opinions from their own experience. Be happy and kind to yourself.
Good luck, Annie.
PS> Im very happy with my boobs now and will unveil them here soon.
