I does not hurt. (for me it did not). I have no feeling on my breast. I think you will do great. They do fade a little and don't be surprised on how (bright) they are at first, but no worries it fades. I'm going for a second shade soon.
good luck
I was diagnosed with breast cancer on 11/10. I was told by two separate doctors that they recommended that I get a double mastectomy. I had 3 areas on my right breast that was positive for cancer, my cancer was estrogen positive.
Dr. Dominick Filardi was the surgeon that did the double mastectomy and Dr. Antonio Uria was the PS that did the reconstruction surgery. On 1/11 I had the double mastectomy with immediate reconstruction, my plastic surgeon placed expanders and the next 6 months before my chemo treatments I went to get between 60 to 100 cc on each breast to expand to a total 750 cc on each breast. I had the expanders replaced on 08/11 with silicone implants. I love my implants I feel like me again.
On Feb. 2012 I had my areolas and nipples reconstructed and they look good, really really good. This Oct. 2012 My PS will tattoo my areolas to darken them and shade them. I will keep you updated it. I’m good so Far really good. God bless and will keep you updated.
