DCIS breast cancer?

I feel great! Within 5 months, I was back to playing tennis and my regular activity, biking, swimming… I decided not to create new breasts at all. The only thing I would do differently is to be even more picky than I already was in choosing my plastic surgeon for aesthetic flat surgery. I saw 10 plastic surgeons who all wanted to create new breasts for me. Some were very rude. The one I chose didn’t show me any pictures of his work. INSIST on finding a plastic surgeon who shows pictures of their results. I had pictures of what I wanted. He said he could create that result. I trusted him. Now I had to find a new plastic surgeon a year later to smooth out the dog ears. The “Not Putting on a Shirt” Facebook page was EXTREMELY helpful to me. I was a 32DDD at Victoria Secret. I always felt my breasts were too big for my body size. Now, I’m a 32A some days and a 32C whenever I want. Never needed radiation or chemo. It’s still tough though. The decision exhausted me!!

@toomanyquestions - Thank you so much for your reply! You are really of comfort to so many other women who may be dealing with similar decisions. One of the most important things you are making very clear is that we all have the right to decide what we want our bodies to look like.
I totally agree with you regarding the selection of a trusted plastic surgeon. Seeing photos of before-after surgical treatment is VERY important. That is true for any type of plastic surgery, including reconstructions. Thanks for the “Not Putting on a Shirt” information too!

Stay well @toomanyquestions!

HUGS,
