Hey, i was wondering if anyone has any advice on accepting your new body after breast reconstruction. I am 23 and i had an immediate reconstruction with an implant last year. I'm finding it hard to like my new body. Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you :)

Hi Tara I am a little bit older than you and due to have a mastectomy soon and recon at a later stage. I plan on getting a nice tattoo if you are on Instagram Aisling Mahon has a page where she does beautiful breast surgery tattoos and nipples

Hello, thanks for your reply :) I'm actually booked to have a nipple tattoo with Aisling Mahon later this year! Hopefully it will improve the appearance :)
