@briarrose I am 5 days past getting my implants put in last week. Prior to that, I had tissue expanders to prepare my skin. My mastectomy was October 2024.

My chest is bruised, but they had warned me about that. They also grafted fat from my belly to “fill in” around the implants.

I’m very pleased with the outcome. I was extremely confident with my plastic surgeon, and I am grateful for all of the training she did and the work she now does for women who have experienced breast cancer. Hope this helps as you weigh your choices.
