Anyone feel devasted about how you look & feel? And guilty too?

I am so glad you brought this topic up. I had a double mastectomy in December. The plastic surgeon left so much extra skin even though I told him to go flat…I look like a freak with rippled skin… mostly on the sides. It’s horrible. I used to be self conscious because my breasts were too big. Now I am self conscious about the bumpiness. I feel like I should make love to my husband with a shirt on. 😞

Hello. You have a right to have a revision on your mastectomy surgery, to make it more acceptable- looking. I have a small dog ear in my axilla and the surgical oncology nurse wanted to schedule a new consult with the plastic surgeon. I can't go through anymore surgery for what would be a small improvement, for me.. You can go online and see revision surgeries, before and after. You are so lucky you have a loving husband.
