Delayed double mastectomy reconstruction

Evening ladies, 

im just looking for some information about what to expect. I had a radical double mastectomy at the end of April and was due to have the reconstruction at the same time, but because of COVID-19 this wasn't able to happen due to it not being essential surgery. Has someone else who has had delayed double reconstruction please tell me how they did this? Are expanders the only option? Implants would be my ideal solution. 
thank toi

  • Hi HannahSiobhan, 

    We have some information about breast reconstruction on our website just here but I'm sure some of our members who have had this will done will share their experiences with you soon.

    You can also talk things through with one of our cancer nurses on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Kind regards,
