Expander to implant and Abdominal plasty
My breast exchange went well. My right implant I feel is still under my arm too much but I was told it would move? My surgeon I thought did what we discussed for my tummy tuck... until I took my binder off. She did a good job but the scar placement was completely devastating to see. It's way too high and I was told nothing so when I seen it I was in shock to say the least...there is no way I could hide this.....pants wouldn't cover this???????? I could cry...

Ok, sooo I am 36. 5'9 and weigh 152 pounds and wear a small or size 5.
I have a 16 year old, a 17 year old and a set of twin boys who are 13. I got heart failure due to the pregnancy, gained a ton of weight, then had surgery and lost over 130 pounds. That's when I found a lump in my right breast then the mamogram found 3. Needless to say I had surgery to have them removed even after being told they were nothing....fibroadenomas. (My doc said no I want them removed anyway) unfortunately it ended up being cancer and I was diagnosed on April 4, 2016 at the age of 35. I then had a double masectomy on June 15, 2016.
What a ride...at the moment I have expanders in and wasn't planning on my expander to implant surgery until late October maybe early november so I decided I also wanted a tummy tuck with Mr.....i figured I have wanted this for years after the twins so now that I have had all this surgery im ready.
Long story short they were going 2 do my tt with mr during my exchange surgery. Well just my luck lol my left expander is leaking so my surgeon decided to move everything up....to THIS WEEK???? August 26th (friday) so I'm now looking for as much info and help as possible from someone who has had a tt with Mr. What is it like? What do I need to buy.....your experience and advice would greatly be appreciated?
I attached some pics...its hard to tell from these pics that im very thin but I am also curious if I should be getting liposuction?

Try to stay positive as it's all too easy to slip down into depression. Your belly is now flat at least. OK so you probably won't want to don a bikini but at least you can wear all the tight clothes you didn't want to before and you'll look damn fine in jeans without spillage over the waistband! I wish there was something I could do to help you.
I hope you heal well from all this and I'm sending you hugs and positive vibes from the UK. Feel free to message me anytime x
