I had both at the same time in Dec. All turned out fine and I’m thrilled with the new “girls”! The breast surgeon was pleased that they were done at same time because that gave the option of wider margins around the tumor, allowing for more tissue to be examined in pathology and greater assurance that all was removed.
As to the plastic: I was a dd before and at 73, very droopy and uncomfortable with the heaviness and skin irritation from them. Size now is approximately a “c”. Overall mild discomfort but not a whole lot of pain. Swelling lasted awhile and healing has gone well and is still going on— I occasionally feel strange little pains in each breast, and sometimes a split-second long piercing pain. Had radiation for 16 sessions (4 weeks after surgery), no chemo and am not taking Anastrozole. I have a follow up with the plastic surgeon next week. Bottom line is that I’m thrilled with the plastic and glad I had both at once. Wishing you good outcome and good—better-health!
