I have a high risk of breast cancer and positive for the BRCA 1 mutation. I decided to have prophylactic double mastectomy with Direct-to-Implant silicone implants. Dr Rad was my plastic surgeon for this procedure. He went over the various risks and options with me. I always felt like I was in good hands, not only with a talented surgeon but with a person who cares for his parents. My husband went with me to all of my appointments and also felt very confident in Dr Rad being my surgeon.

It's nice to hear you had a positive experience with your doctor during a potentially stressful time. Did you attempt to match the your original breast size? What would you say was the most difficult part of your recovery? When was your actual surgery date? Thank you for sharing your story on RealSelf!
