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.
