Dear Tanya,
WOW! I could not imagine how you are feeling... You have been thru so much at such a young age... but anyway...
I'm 28 and never had children. In the process of having my reconstruction done on my left breast after my mastecomy this month. The only option I had was the silicone implant. So far I am happy with the silicone option, it is alot of work with how they do it over time... they put the expander in and gradually blow it up over a couple of months to stretch the skin then take the expander out and put the implant in and u have to change the implant like every 10-15yrs... With your other breast if you get the implant in the right one you'll most likely get one in the left (even if u keep that breast) because we are young and breasts age and u want your breasts looking the same, they do recommend u get them in both.
The pain with the reconstruction im doing is livable. i just take regular panadol and nurofen. but u do have restrictions on what u can physically do why the plastic surgeons get the look right.
Hope this helps, and if u have any certain questions just inbox me :)
I didnt research anything on the net, my plastic surgeon gave me all the info I needed.
