Hello @MrsMac,
Is your skin too thin for an implant? What about having an implant with some lipo? I’m not sure if that’s just for a more natural look, or if it would help the skin support the implant.
Heaps of ladies on here have had the flap (or similar) surgery with your own fat, and from what I’ve read none have regretted it, even though it is a long surgery with also long recovery.
I personally wouldn’t do the flap reconstruction as I don’t like surgery at all, let alone such a long one. I have expanders atm, had radiation 3 months ago and am just healing to see if my skin will also be strong enough for implants. If it’s not, then I will opt for simple mastectomies. I think con of a simple one is mostly just that you will be flat, but that’s not necessarily a con.
Anyway, I haven’t got much experience with it, this is just my opinion, so maybe someone who knows more can help you out. Good luck with your decision 🍀❤️
