He told my my recon in the breast I had cancer in was done like an older ladies breast. I was shocked when he said this and that my old surgeon had done it that way when there was an alternative. My new surgeon said that its because BC is not as common in young women and so that the usual way of doing the reconstruction is this
Basically my breast is flat at the top and has no fleshy bit like most young women's boobs are. So he will be putting a new bigger implant in. This implant is a new one that has foam around it which is hard for 2 months then softens creating more of a natural look. He is also putting a new one in my right breast as this one has dropped and buckled. Its weighed my breast down so will need an uplift too.
My nipple recon will be done at the same time. I am hoping this will finally be the end of surgery, for a few years at least. I can not wait to get it finally sorted! I am glad I've not rushed back into it and taken a year out. I've been so busy with my new business I wouldn't have had time to take off anyway and it feels like this year has been my year.
So 1st February I will be having my surgery. Look forward to getting done but also not looking forward to go through all that pain again! Hopefully it will be worth it!!
In the mean time I can distract myself with all the festivities. I have my Winter Wonder-Glam fashion show coming up on the 26th Nov which is going to bigger and better then the last. I have been making outfits which is quite exciting as I have never had my own creations up on a catwalk before.
I will be writing about my fashion show on my Forest Elf blog.
