I Would Like an Opinion About my Breast Reconstruction and Implants?

You need to consult with i.e.... more

Breast implants

Wait till you are 21. If the first surgery corrected the tubular breast, and the second proposed breast implant is only for enhancement then you realy do not qualify for breast implant till you are 21.
