Thanks Louise - that's exactly what I was wondering. If you don't mind me asking do you have a different type of recon an each side? How much tissue do you need for the TRAM flap? I had a tissue sparing Mastectomy so I have the skin there which the saline expander currently. I just don't like the hardness - it looks OK and I don't need to wear a bra on that side (pity the other one is so saggy ;-)) but the rockmelon feel is uncomfortable.
I was a little put off the TRAM flap because of how involved the surgery is too. Early days though and you have given me many more questions for the surgeons!
Thankyou
Amanda
