pending bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction

Hi J
I had that reconstruction on one side; surgery went fantastic and it looked brilliant. Unfortunately I had encapsulation around my inplant and had to have it replaced but to be fair, that was no big deal, but it meant I was out of action again.
I don't have as much strength in my surgical side as I have on my other side and it's stiff and sore if I don't exercise it.
I have no feeling around my breast, part of my back, and under my arm but it doesn't cause a problem. My nipple was spared so to look at it with clothes on I still have a great shape, though when in the nip it looks smaller and lumpier than my other breast, but I can live with it. I was given a prosthesis to wear to balance out my breasts when I only use if I'm wearing a t-shirt or something tight fitting. I suppose I was expecting a more natural look & feel, as in it would be identical to my other one; between putting on weight and the second surgery, that isn't the case. To lie on my belly, it feels like there is a squishy tennis ball in my breast but I think that is more to do with they way the implant has to be insterted second time around.
It works for me, I'm glad I did it but then I suppose I don't know any differently so can't compare it to any other surgeries.
Take care & hope everything goes well for you

Thank you for your feedback greatly apprecited
