Mastectomy Breast Cancer Tattoo NC

WORTH IT
My tattoo artist changed locations but is still in Mooresville, NC. He is located at Mooresville Tattoo Company. I haven't seen my Dr. since the reconstruction was complete - no need - holding together just fine so far.

When I was diagnosed with cancer, I involved all the people I know in the medical profession to help me choose my doctors. The nurses I know at the hospital thought Dr. Harper was an amazing surgeon and one of the two surgeons in Charlotte that did the best breast reconstructions so I went with him. I found the cancer/reconstruction very stressful and scary and almost didn’t do the reconstruction because I didn’t think I could handle the cancer and reconstruction at the same time. I had concerns throughout this process and Dr. Harper ended up giving me his cell phone number so I could contact him directly instead of going through an answering service. I was able to text pictures of all the things I thought were going wrong that were actually normal, and he could alleviate my concerns without a trip to the office. Dr. Harper always responded right away and I’ve never had a doctor be that concerned about me.

Would you be so kind to tell me how many cc’s you went with. I know every body looks different with different sizes.

Breast Reconstruction Charlotte

I've had the implants for over 2-1/2 years. I'm pretty active and I worried initially if the implants would last. I haven't had any problems and I don't notice the implants much anymore.

I went back to my artist five weeks after the last session and I let him take pictures he could share. These are the pictures he took.
