Thanks for sharing your story. I'm glad you were able to get the surgery corrected. Any idea why you had such a bad result from Canada?

The surgery ( the simplest for reconstruction) was still new in Toronto and the young, but sweet doctor was inexperienced. Dr. Salzberg himself has since been in Canada( as he has been all round the world) teaching his technique. With terrible results from Toronto, the recon breast way too big and hard, when it was time to fashion a nipple locally, I grew brave called it off and soon had the perfect breast and nipple thanks to the great surgeon and an equally fabulous anasthesiologist Dr. Kestenbaum at the New York Group for Plastic Surgery in their lovely clinic ( not hospital) in Tarrytown, New York. Life-saving, life-changing, all to the good!
