Reconstruction problems.
Does anyone do goldilocks or swim aesthetic mastectomies in UK ?
I have to have my reconstruction implant removed due to chronic infection. My breast surgeon wants to leave me without reconstruction and I am not happy to choose between being left with excess skin, or having a diagonal scar and possible lumpy or concave chest. I am not happy with the options but also do not want to delay my surgery due to pain and illness and possible local recurrence in nipple that can’t be fully ruled out.

Hi @Milly_Molly_1
Sorry you haven’t received a response yet- and I’m also sorry to hear that your reconstruction didn’t work out, I can’t imagine how disappointing and frustrating that must feel!
I have heard of the Goldilocks procedure before as I follow a girl on instagram who had this done, I will try and find her account and send you a private message so it’s not public, but she did share her experience with having a Goldilocks procedure so hopefully it will help.
It may also be worth giving the nurses a call as they may have some advice on this: * Helpline: 0808 800 6000 (Mon-Fri 9am-4pm; Sat 9am-1pm).
