Hello Pam ,hope you are well .Did you have a mastectomy? I had bilateral mastectomies in September 22, didn’t really know if I wanted reconstructive surgery or not .Asked them to put me on a waiting list anyway. At the time I was quite happy being flat .in the summer months I felt clothes fitted better with my prosthesis but very warm . Started on the reconstruction in October ,I have chest expanders ,which have stretched my skin now . I am very happy with this ,hasn’t been painful,and I will have my silicone implants in May . If you want more details,I am happy to talk . Take care xx
I'm sorry, but we cannot advise you on whether breast reconstruction surgery is suitable for you. It's best to consult your hospital team or specialist nurse (CNS) who is familiar with your medical history. Reconstruction surgery may not be the right option for everyone due to various reasons.

Here is some information on breast reconstruction from our website and hereis more information from Breast Cancer Now.
Take care and hopefully, you will get more information on your situation soon.
