I had a skin sparing mascetomy with immediate implant and the breast feels extremely hard. The surgeon told me it was because of radiation. (He initially told me it was just to be a temporary implant but I've since heard from another surgeon that all implants are permanent. He obviously lied to me!) I assured him it felt the same just after the operation. I went to see a private breast surgeon and he has told me that the NHS surgeon has removed the layer of fat next to my skin. I asked if this was necessary and what the medical advice from the breast cancer experts say and he says they can't agree on whether it is right or not! Also I had my nipple removed and the private surgeon said I should have been given the option for to have the nipple tested for cancer and to keep it if I wished, He said this should have been discussed with me by the surgeon. Good old NHS eh!! Any advice or input needed
