Profilatic mascetomy

Hi Ann, I too see bill mcleay and rid coorer is doing my expander reconstruction in September! Thanks for posting about it being a bit of a let down to begin with. Rod has told me they won't be even to start with or looks the same but that they will get more even over time and that he'll do any tweaking that needs to be done. Your comments have reiterated what he has said to me, so I will be prepared hopefully for a few months of disappointment until they are good looking breasts!! Dr cooter seems lovely, bill could do with a better office manner but has a lovely bedside manner if you know what I mean! Love to you Sam xxx

Hey Kel

I too live in rural SA (yorke peninsula) and my surgeons are Dr Birrell and Tim Proudman!! Perhaps we should try and meet one day?  I would be only too happy to show you my new boobs (lol!!) I am all finished now - including nipples and are only too happy to share my experiences.  My journey has gone really well. Really happy with both drs - plus my mum had Dr Birrell too.  Private message me if you like

Cheers

Liz

Hi Ann , just had a quick look and there is another lady who had used your doctor. My breast surgeon will be dr Steve Birrell from the utunga breast centre and my plastic surgeon is Dr Tim Proudman. They have worked together for 30 + yrs and Tims father taught Steve . I. Don't really know what to expect, at this stage I'm just worried about coping with the op itself.Its all very emotional isn't it?? How long ago did u have your op? The travelling is tough, I've got two young boys I've got to leave and my husband can't come either as my eldest son 8yrs is type 1 diabetic. So my poor mum has to come with me.how to u think they meaning your boobs will look in the end? Nice in a top but not that great in the flesh or can u see that in time they will look good? Hugs from Kell xxxxx

Hi Kellie,

 I see that you are consulting with Dr Cooter. I have recently had other boob off (my choice) and had the double reconstruction. Dr Bill Mcleay did the first part of the sugery at St Andrews, Adelaide, then Dr Cooter stepped in.

 I went to Adelaide from Mount Gambier yesterday and had the bandages and stitches done. Somehow I thought they would look great the first day and so I fell in a hole when I looked and finally realised that my old boobs were gone. Over the past 18months I havent cried much but the floodgates opened yesterday and I cried on and off all the way home. Maybe I was just overwhelmed and tired.

Today the new boobs look much better and I expect each week they will heal and have less swelling. Dr Cooter said to put Hyperfix  tape on the scar and then use bio oil.

I have been really pleased with Dr Cooter and his staff but wish I had been reminded that all good things take time.

I hope the time goes quickly for you Kellie

Take care

Hi Sam,

I don't think I am able to join the group yet. Is there some sort of link to click on? I think I accepted friend request.

Heather

 

I found you Heather. You now have to accept friend request then Kell or I can add you to the group. Cheers Sam x

Hi Sam, I found you on FB but don't know what to do next. There didn't seem to be a place where I could add you as friend or send a message. My email is mhyork@optusnet.com.au if that helps. I sometimes get msgs from FB via email so perhaps my name and email is connected. My photo is me laughing with a red tshirt on. Heather

 

Kellie I think I've just befriended you on Facebook...or maybe a different kellie niarros! Lol. Heather can you maybe befriend me as there are lots of Heather Yorks? My name is Samantha Parsons Hutton and in my fb profile photo I'm wearing a red cardigan & with my hubby. Hope that helps. Then I can bring you into the group. Cheers Sam x
