Hi BeckyP

I had a double mastectomy with an immediate reconstruction with silicone implants in March 2019. I am very slim so using my own fat wasn’t an option. The implants were put on top of my chest muscle and a mesh was used to hold them in place. I also had some lymph nodes removed. I’ve recovered very quickly, started to drive 2 weeks after surgery.  Everything seem to settle nicely, I don’t even think about the implants anymore. They feel very natural and look nice. There is still numbness around the nipple area but otherwise it’s all good :) hope this helps for you  to make a decision. 

Thank you for taking time to comment, your story has helped me in considering the options. All the beat for the future x
