I had an immediate reconstruction with an expander. At my last visit, my PS said that the skin was not stretching enough (I have the equivalent on an "A" cup after 400cc). Instead of expanding, the expander pushes againts my ribs and can possibly damage them if we continue.
My options now are either to replace the expander with a small prosthesis and reduce my other breast OR a DIEP.
Anybody faced that decision? Any thoughts on this?
I had DIEP flap and have zero regrets!!! I don't have scars in my breast either .
I used DR Pisano with PRMA in San Antonio Texas
You are right @A MyBCTeam Member, I should get moving before my surgery. Your comment motivates me. ;-)
Wow @A MyBCTeam Member! It is so encouraging to read your progress! I will meet my plastic surgeon again on the 18th (with all my questions!), then I will decide if I go for the DIEP.
Wow! It's really encouraging to read your news, @A MyBCTeam Member.Thanks for sharing. I also read your page, it's helpful. I hope you'll continue to do so well! I am continuing to try to make my decision. I will see a PS again on the 18th. I find it is a big step.I have my own business so I have to consider the time off.
I'll be thinking of you tomorrow @A MyBCTeam Member!
