Hi All: I am 63-years young. I had breast reconstruction done 14-years ago and have always been depressed and very unhappy with the horrible results! I had no nipple reconstruction on the left side where I had my mastectomy and had a lift on the right side, which came out lopsided done by Dr. Thomas Hunter! To say the least, as a women and being married I was clinically depressed for years! I finally decided I am going to have it fixed once and for all! The doctor who did my first surgery is no longer in practice! I consulted with many doctors, seven in all. I chose Dr. Rotatori to do the reconstruction, nipple reconstruction and lift! I am so happy I made the right choice! I had my reconstruction done October 2014! I feel like a new woman and he literally gave me my life back! I am no longer depressed because of my femininity! With my first surgery, I had keloids and the scars were horrendous! I do not know how Dr. Rotatori did it, but he fixed everything and after even a week or two I could hardly see the scars! When I came out of recovery, I was very nauseous and was not happy with the staff at the hospital as I came home with the leads on; however, this had nothing to do with Dr. Rotatori! His staff was very nice. After three days, I had to call Dr. Rotatori him around 1:30 AM, because I had a slight fever and he called me right back! He even sent me a text to see how I was doing and to let him know if anything changed. The fever went away and it was normal. As far as the pain level after the surgery, it was nowhere near the pain level I had after my first reconstruction! Dr. Rotatori took out my saline implant on the left side and replaced it with a gummy bear implant, and on the right side where there was never an implant he put in a gummy bear and did a life as I only had a mastectomy on the left side. He also reconstructed a nipple on the left side! I am amazed at his work and how he made my breast look like when I was much younger!! He truly is an artist and is very sweet. I am having a tummy tuck done by him in February of this year. Sorry, as much as I would like to post pictures of before and after, I cannot because I am a very private person, but believe me, everyone would be amazed at the beautiful results! I keep checking my breasts to see if they are still as beautiful as Dr. Rotatori made the, and they sure are perfect!

Congratulations, I am just thrilled for you! After all these years...for you to reclaim your femininity and confidence is inspiring, and a wonderful happy ending to a tragic story. It's always nice to receive a follow up from your doctor, he sounds wonderful.  Thank you for sharing your experience here on RealSelf.

I'm just curious if you have enough extra tissue in your tummy why didn't you do a diep reconstruction and never have to worry about implants again? Save you the price of a tummy tuck and once u get rid of that extra tissue it's gone for good...just something to consider..I'm 62 and just had free flap reconstruction. Cause I figured my arteries weren't getting any younger. ..

I did not want the diep. I'm happy you are happy with your free flap. How was your recovery?
