I had breast cancer with a double mastectomy. I chose immediate reconstruction from the nipple-sparing mastectomy with gummy implants. He was honest with me as far as size I could go and expectations on appearance. I am slender at 5’8 and 117 lbs. I didn’t have a lot of skin or fat to work with after the mastectomy. My nipple partially necrosed on one breast, and I decided to remove it - I like it better, I look like Barbie. I will probably do the other as well. I see wrinkles

Was afraid to so afraid to do this for ao long then it got to the point that if I didn't I would have to go on disability and give up normal life for a life of pain and agony. I am 4 days post-op and so glad I did it. I had Dr Roman Skoracki from OSU plastic surgeons and he is amazing! A true artist in his field.Best decision I ever made! Updated on 9 Jan 2016: There had been a finding on my mammogram that was then examined further with an ultrasound. So this lump was right

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in March 2014. At that time I was living abroad in Asia, and I chose to come to MD Anderson, Houston to receive a right breast mastectomy. I was told that all doctors at MD Anderson are great ; I got extremely disappointed by Dr. Skoracki and I would surely not recommend him for a breast reconstruction. I met the Dr Skoracki very briefly a few days before the mastectomy. He was very nice and friendly but did not take time to really talk to me
