    Hello Mags60,

    We have some information on breast reconstruction using implants here.

    I hope it will help you understand what to expect. There's nothing like hearing a personal account though so I do hope that you will soon hear from someone on this forum who has also had a mastectomy and a breast reconstruction using implants.

    Our nurses are also available Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm on this free number 0808 800 4040.

    Best wishes,
