Meeting with Plastic Surgeon

Today we met with a plastic surgeon to discuss the possibility of breast reconstruction after surgery.  I was a little bothered that it is the expected route, but I did want to learn about all the possibilities.  Because I had radiation to my breast 5 years ago, my skin there is tight and not flexible.  Thus, they would have to take a flap of skin and muscle from my back and move it around to my front, not to mention months of expanding that tissue to make a pocket for an implant.  It doesn't sound fun to have extra surgeries and the discomfort of expanding, but I am considering the possibility.
