Hi girls. I have been booked in to have my expanders out and the permanent implants put in.
Just wondering what other peoples experience with this has been? Are the implants much better, is the recovery time faster than the mastectomy?
Will the shape be different, because my tissue expanders seem to sit really high and are rock hard. They also seem to be really full at the top and not so full at the bottom...

Thank-you so much for your reply Wendy.. Its been 4 weeks now since my bilateral mastectomy and just in the last few days i am starting to feel better, can do things with my family again, but yes the expanders are uncomfortable, i only have 7 weeks left with them, so thats a good thing... I am having 420cc implants put in "Mentor" brand..... Im really not too sure how i will look with these or what this size even really means.. But hey, the way i see it is I had "C" and im still alive today so i need to be grateful with whatever i end up with....
I have still not started taking Tamoxifen, so scared to, look at the script everyday, meant to be taking 20mg everyday.... Scared of the side effects, scared of the effect it may have on my liver etc etc .... ????
