I don't understand the abdominal tissue reconstruction. I had my right breast mastectomy, and at the same time the plastic surgeon put in an expander. I now can have the per?permanent implant put in. I'll hopefully get that done before the end of the year.

Abdominal tissue reconstruction is where they can take the tissue from the stomach area to use to fill in the breast instead of an implant. The joke of course is you get breast reconstruction and a tummy tuck all at once.

Silicon implants after mastectomies was a terrible decision for me. They leaked and caused tons of NEW SERIOUS medical problems. I settled in The Dow Corning lawsuit without an attorney…did it on my own.
