@Marketta I suspect having no reconstruction is better for your health as having an implant, especially a textured one, can put you at a higher risk of cancer. For mental health a reconstruction is 100% worth it. Get a second opinion on price if you go ahead. I wish I’d had more second or third opinions. Often, the surgeons all have great ideas, but different recommendations. Some doctors profit at our expense and that’s dodgy. $16000 is outrageous.
Reconstruction can vary from no gap to quite expensive. I had no out of pocket expenses for a left LD reconstruction in the private system. It was very painful and took a while to recover from, but was worth it. I can understand why people choose to have no reconstruction. There is probably ongoing surgery for me in the future with a small implant as well. All the best with your decision. There’s no rush, sometimes it’s good to sit with the idea a while and see what feels best.
