Hi I’m having a terrible time with acute anxiety after having a mastectomy. I wanted to have immediate reconstruction but in the event because I developed a phobia of general anaesthetic, I could only have the mastectomy. The only way I can really see my mental health improving is to have an implant as soon as possible. However I’ve been told I have to wait a few months and can only have it done under general. So many operations can be done under local anaesthetic these days and I’m desperately trying to find a surgeon who would be willing to do this preferably on the nhs or otherwise private. Can anyone help me or advise me about this.?
