Still trying to decide on doing fat grafting with brava or the IGAP flap with fat grafting and brava. Just have a hard time with finding help for my son while I'm recovering. Fat grafting with brava seems like a shorter recovery. Things to decide. Any advice?

At 17 years old I had a biopsy for what the dr thought was a cyst. It wasn't I had pre-cancerous cells in what he found and he recommended I get a BMX. At 17?!? I could not at the age of 17 comprehend his recommendation. So I started seeing a breast specialist every 3 months and getting breast MRI's, mammograms which always resulted in some sort of biopsy and surgery. I have had over 30 surgeries not including my mastectomy and 3 reconstructions. All findings were always the same. My increased risk for developing breast cancer was 88% with my family history taken into account. Dr recommended me to have the BMX before I had a family. All my findings were always hormone related.
I had the surgery in July 2010 with expanders placed. In November of 2010 I had the expanded replaced with implants. Then in November 2011 I had them replaced with 550cc mentor high profile.
Fast forward to now and I am unhappy with the results of my surgeries. They are always cold they are heavy and I am in constant pain. I can not sleep and since replacing them I have been diagnosed with a crazy ton of things. I know that my breasts will never be what they once were but is it too much to ask to feel comfortable on the beach in bathing suit chasing my son around without worrying about how my muscles look when I go to pick him up. Or to feel comfortable enough to take my shirt off I front of my husband. I just want to feel good about myself again.
Any who, I am looking to get these bags out of me and do fat grafting with the brava method. Dr wants to do a gap flap or I gap I think it's called with the fat grafting to make my breasts a B cup. But I can't go through a major surgery like that. Recovery is at least 6 weeks for the flap. I just don't have the help with my toddler to make recovery easy and realistic. She said I'd be an A cup because my BMI is not a lot. Which I'm totally fine with. Just wondering if anyone out there has had this done and are happy with the results?
