Nerve pain with expander
Hi there, I had a mastectomy 3 weeks ago now and had my first saline fill last week, since then I have had terrible pain where my nipple should be like someone is squeezing it tightly. Has anyone else...
Hi @EllieC
I do remember being a bit disconcerted when my plastic surgeon grabbed my tummy fat and said “ excellent”!
I was an E cup and went to C cups and had plenty of fat for that ( but not too much - my bmi was normal and I actually lost 10 kilos before the operation to get back to my ideal weight.
The DIEP flap surgety is more complicated than implants and it is important to have a plastic surgeon who has done a lot of them - mine works in both St Vincent’s Public and Private hospitals in Sydney and is excellent .
My surgery was 9 hours and the recovery tough , but I’m very happy with the result and don’t have to worry about further surgery down the track to swop out implants ( my surgeon said I’d probably need to do this after 10 years).
Anyway lots of ladies are happy with implants so it’s a personal decision.
