Breast reconstruction

My wife had breast cancer. She has had a mastectomy the surgeon is now saying that it is a legal requirement for her to have photographs of her top half before they can start reconstruction surgery is this right.

  • Hi

    Max has given some very good advice.  I too have never heard of this being a legal requirement. However when my friend had a double mastectomy and reconstruction she was asked if she would mind having before and after photographs to help other patients facing such a procedure.  This was voluntary and she was more than happy to go ahead and was extremely happy with the results of the surgery,

    I do hope your wife is making a good recovery.  Jules54
