Hi everyone,
It's almost one year since I had the implant surgery. Last April my doc wanted to perform another surgery to reposition the silicon implant,although I refused. I believe I have to do it as the implant has moved down a little, but I am not yet ready for it.
The shape of the reconstructed breast is not perfect, but I am used to it, and my partner says it looks better now than before with just the tram. Well, ladies, we have to smile and we are all survivors.
Sorry for my English.
Thanks for reading.

Oh my goodness, a year already! I think you are making a wise choice not to do the surgery until you feel ready on all levels. It was so good to hear from you, please continue to let us know how you are!
way to go!

Oh, that does not sound like a very pleasant sensation at all, sorry to hear. I hope it goes away quickly for you!
Please keep us updated on how you are doing.
How are you feeling? Do you feel like the swelling has gone down?
