Hi,
I would like insights on this type of procedure for Breast reconstruction. I’m just wondering if anyone have gone through this. Can you share your own experience.
I opted for a delayed breast reconstruction, I’m offered this type of procedure vs Implant.
It would be very helpful if you can share ….
Thanks !
Joy

Hello Joy. A bit late with response and you may have decided at this stage. I had this surgery 6 years ago and while the surgery and recovery is longer I have absolutely no regrets. For me it was the right decision. I hope this helps but regardless of what you decide to do, it will be the right decision for you based on your age, fitness etc
