Thinking about reconstruction!

You must ne in agood place to be considering this step now, and congrats on your 5yrs.

I am 12 weeks post bilateral skin saving free tram flap surgery. I feel great and, though my final surgery is not till October, I have lovely warm and natural looking breasts. I am very happy with my choice of tissue transfer method. I also have a lovely flat tummy which is a bonus.

This surgery isnt for everyone and the recovery is hard going, but I dont regret it for a minute.

If you are interested, I have completed a little photo story of my reconstruction. I did it as a brief memory for myself, but also to help others making their decisions about reconstruction. I recall that reconstruction was very difficult to plan and I sought out every photo and story i could find, which was not that many.

I went public all the way, but i believe the waiting lists are quite long unless you have cancer present (which i did). But it could be worth the wait as the costs can be crazy for tissue transfer operations. I guess it may depend on your health cover.

Private message me your email address if you want to see the photo story.
