Hi, 

i had an implant. My surgeon was in favor of an implant as am also small and I would have needed tissue from more than one place. I only had my surgery five weeks ago and I am so happy with my results. However, I only have small boobs so it could be different for that reason. X x 

Hi Becky, 

i haven't posted in here before as I stupidly stay away from cancer chat as it's my way of almost pretending it didn't happened to me, I had grade 3 breast cancer 6 rounds of chemo  double mastectomy with reconstruction and 18 rounds of herceptin Id just turned 31 and happy go lucky until this bomb shell thankfully what I had nicknamed the intruder has gone. I had the choice of both options but to be honest it is a tough one my surgeon suggested the implant so after going over and over it I went with this option but to be honest having only a very small frame also I am still struggling to accept them I have then done almost a year ago and whilst they look good I do find then quite heavy still finding parts of this difficult and had to have both nipples removed as they too can have breast tissue in them, I have the tattoos done in April maybe after that I will star to look at them as really things again. I often wonder if using my own tissue might have been better I know this probably hasn't helped much but the best advice I can give you is take your time and which ever you decide wear those scars with pride, this is just a chapter in your life and will not ever stop you been beautiful even the bad stuff has to end lovely so keep going xx

have been reading some of the posts on here and think you are all incredible lots of love
