I've put some pics up in the Choosing Breast Reconstruction group @Marketta. They are not for the faint hearted but my result, as I'm reliably informed by a series of surgeons, is outside the 'normal.' And, of course, a result of my keloid scar response rather than any poor surgical practices or lack of proper assessment. Weird, as I'm covered in chunky scars which all come with interesting stories (I bloody hate barbed wire and car accidents)
Anyway, like you, I want to do the cartwheels. OK, I haven't done a cartwheel since I was in my 30s, but I want to be able to halter break yearlings and cut wood, drive for hours and dig holes. I can, but it hurts like all fuck. I'm never going to get better, I wish I'd reassessed my options earlier. But there was no one to ask who' wasn't at risk of damaging someones reputation. Theirs or one of their colleagues.
Regardless of the cost (which sounds on the high end of extortionate) talk to to another specialist . And go with your gut. Mxx
