@seathink thank you for the response. I hope you are doing well. Can you tell me more about the harvest site and your recovery/scars? Does your breast look “normal?” Looking back would you choose differently?
I was told that if I did implants MRI would be used for future screening and monitoring of the implants. No more mammograms.

Nice, glad you can do MRIs! Very good to hear.
Got the fat from my tummy, because I just had a baby so I had a lot of belly fat they could use but it actually didn't end up being as much as I thought so they did a breast lift to try and match the other side. The stomach was really hard I had to do a lot of core exercises in PT.
They look really nice,the scars barely show. We didn't think I'd get a nipple, but they were able to spare it, although now that one looks like I'm cold all the time.
It feels really good now, but doing that major surgery after chemo and radiation and the first major surgery all with the baby I couldn't lift made it really difficult for about a year after. It's so nice on the other side.
