ladies, I had LD flap recon on my left breast 5yrs agoi. I am not on any medication now and have put on some weight since the recon. My natural right breast is now 2 x cups sizes bigger than the recon breast. Wondering whether to have a bigger implant put into the recon breast to balance or to have a reduction on the natural breast (not bothered about having bigger boobs really). I was a 32a and now have been measured as 34D so my left bra cup is too big but i can live with that. I just wanted to feel more even and could then wear sun tops without a bra. Has anyone else had this sort of thing? havent dicussed with surgeon at all.
I’m not sure how I would feel in your situation but I know when I have my LD flap recon on the left side my surgeon is going to do some work on the right one to perk it up to match. It may mean I lose a cup size but since I have never had big boobs it doesn’t bother me.
I don’t know how much faith you have in the surgeon who did the op but if you don’t, you have the right to see a plastic surgeon of your own choice anywhere in the country. If you live in the South East or London there is the home of plastic surgery at East Grinstead so it wouldn’t be too far to travel.
What ever you decide, you must make sure it’s the right decision for you.
Please let me know how you get on. Lots of love, Helen xx
thanks so much, I am very happy with my surgeon so need to do some thinking and perhaps have a chat with surgeon to get professional opinion, will let you know. xxxxx
