I just wanted to find out if anyone out there has had a reconstruction and how it has been for them coming from a community thats quite taboo about these topics.
Hi there,
I’m neither an Asian woman nor have I had a reconstruction but I think your question is such an important one…images of women who’ve had recosntructions are invariably of white women.
Hope you get some replies…whther you do or don’t, writing about your experience could provide a really useful resource for other Asian women.
best wishes
Jane
