Hi there love i was 43 in May 2016 when I was diagnosed with TNBC stage 2a grade 3 no lymph nodes involved, all scans clear, negative for the gene, had the left boob off with the tumor in it then took the right one off 6 months later as a preventative and also had the mastectomy so I didn’t have to have the radiation. I’m on the qld public wait list and will be for at least another 2 and I’ve just had a second opinion with another plastic surgeon here in bris who is bloody awesome (Dr Ben Green). He does private, public and intermediate surgery at the Royal Brisbane and after seeing him much more affordable as an intermediate patient (am going to try and claim my super now for itj and so glad I got another opinion. And he has said that further detection is most certainly more than possible after implant surgery but my risk is certainly reduced significantly as I’ve done the double. Get a referal to a plastic surgeon and get an opinion well worth it and I highly recommend dr green if you are in Brisbane. Go for it love if it’s what you want to do.ill be getting it done when I can afford it for sure and then I’ll get some nipple tats too. Margie x
