My body wouldn’t tolerate the breast tissue expanders following my bilateral mastectomy - had to have both removed due to infections, thus implants were not an option. A year after my mastectomy I had the 1st phase of a deep flap reconstruction. Again, more rejection - this time it was the sutures used during my procedure. A year of infections and wound care, pic line and hyperbaric oxygen treatments. At that point I was done with the whole process - tired of incisions and drains and infections. I don’t have the breasts I thought I’d get following the mastectomy. My body didn’t cooperate. I can’t give you advice other than to assess your life and priorities. Make sure you get the best plastic surgeon you can but be aware that even the best can’t predict your outcome. Be prepared to accept whatever that may be. I wish you the very best and pray for remission.
