Can you post are how this went for you? I had the pap flap surgery 3 weeks ago and still have lots of questions about recovery, numbness from nerves cut, restrictions, fat grafting and more. Anything you could share would be wonderful. I have a friend who had the diep flap for one breast in 90s, but don't know anyone who has had the PAP flap. Mine went very well, but I only weight 85lbs to begin with, so didn't have lots of tissue to donate.

Thanks!!
