Hi, im not up to reconstruction. I had skin saving surgery to allow for a reconstruction if I want. Right now I feel that I don't want to put myself through future surgeries and the idea of doing anything to my as best I know healthy breast is a bit abhorrent although I understand why others do.
Yesterday I got an amoena prosthetic to even up. I was pleasantly surprised how light it is. I also splashed out an extra 100 to get one with a pump which allows you to get a good fit against your chest wall and can adjust cup size with weight changes. As it sits in the bra pocket I think it will not be sweaty.
You are probably well past all this and know what you feel will work. Maybe have a consult with a surgeon and ask all those questions about skin. I am thinking when I am able I will do this. If they can some how do a key hole inflation (seems unlikely) I'd consider. If there is months of pain ahead I'd want to be able to compare to original mastectomy.
I joined the restructure group but im not ready to interact yet.
