DMX & Recon
Hello ladies, I'm in dire need of advice from the community regarding dmx and recon. I'm currently on a trial treatment prior to lumpectomy in mid December. I have triple negative and also a BRCA1 carrier. There has been an ongoing conversation with my surgeon and plastic specialist at Peter Mac to my options for mastectomy and reconstruction as well as the option of remaining under observation in case I'll decide to keep my boobs. I find it extremely difficult to make a solid decision and stick to it. I'm concerned about my body image as I'm only 38, haven't had kids and in great form from training in competitive sports for a large portion of my life. Those of you out there who's undergone reconstruction and could share your experience with me and whether you think it's better or worse remaining under observation for the years to follow or pull the trigger and get dmx instead? Nipple sparing surgery or tattoo?Any information would be greatly appreciate it!
Plastic Surgeons in Brisbane
Hi all, After two different surgeons performed my double mastectomy I now have two completely looking breasts. They look completely deformed and I have just been told there Is a 4 year wait for plastics to correct my boobs. To say I was completely shocked as I was given the impression it wasn't a long wait time to correct after the implants, is an understatement. Total lack of information. I cannot afford to go private but feel there is no other option at this point. Does anyone know of any great surgeons in Brisbane who can correct this reconstruction, I will need fat grafting in one and a nipple moved on the other, if you know the costs roughly that would be a help. TIA Jen x
