Mastectomy and breast reconstruction pros and cons?

I did not.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by restrictions from plastics?

Please help me understand what you mean when you say, “restrictions from plastics”?

After mastectomy. I had my own fat put into my breast.
Nothing man made in there.

Should the risks involved in implants be part of the equation in deciding on reconstruction or types of reconstruction?

I had fat taken from belly put into breast. No artificial lumps for me. !

I asked about that but you have to have a specialist and none was available in my area. A very risky surgery. Are you taking anastozole?

yes, but the bigger risk is taking medications that will most certainly damage your body worse. I was not a diabetic until now. My sugar glucose was 82 and now after taking Anastrozole for 21 months I have type 2 diabetes and Diabetic Retinopathy in my left eye. No one told me this could happen. I was told I will lose my eyesight and go blind. Really? I am so angry. My oncologist didn't think to tell me about my glucose level because he's only concerned with the numbers in my blood that are related to breast cancer. Really? Big pharma is using us as ginny pigs.

That is the only safe replacement. I had a terrible time with silicone implants.

Yes, and they were addressed. Made a decision not to use my own tissue, plastic surgeon told me I was not a candidate for implant
