Hi, I saw the Plastic Surgeon yesterday and he says he can do the bilateral reconstruction using my tummy so as well as new breasts I’ll get a tummy tuck too!!! However I’ll probably end up a cup size smaller but with a nice flat tummy!!! The surgery will take anything from 8-15 hours which is scary to say the least .
I don’t have a surgery date yet as I have to go back next Monday to have photos taken and to see the Plastic Surgeon again as he likes to see everybody twice to make sure they’re 100% happy with what’s being done. I didn’t catch his name but my husband thought it sounded like Mr Farfalle!!!
Has anybody else had the same surgery at the Royal Marsden? What should I expect afterwards? Critical Care? HDU? What ward did you end up on?
I was initially told by Miss MacNeill that I wouldn’t have enough tummy and she was recommending implants but I guess those plastic surgeons see us differently!!
Trudie.
