There are some great replies here. Can I ask a question about the implant reconstructions? I had a skin sparing mastectomy and insertion of tissue expander about 9 weeks ago. I am currently having chemo but starting to think about my reconstruction and also my other breast. With my surgery, the skin expander was inserted under my chest muscle - I still have another fill or two until it is up to the same size as my other breast. I am wondering though whether a reconstructed breast using an implant will feel the same as I do now? I have a rock hard "melon" on my chest - there is no give whatsover - I have had three children so my other breast is rather "droopy" anyway but I am struggling with this sensation and wonder if I should go for a different option to get more of a "natural" feel. I haven't gone down the path of plastic surgeons yet - just early days questions. Thanks
