I am nearly five years after mastectomy and have had an operation every year.After the last 2 whichdoesnt look any better I started to come back on the forum and read about alternative reconstructions as I was never given an option I just went with what I was advised.And I read about tram flap and LD flap so I asked my P/S clinic if she did either and I went for a second opinion and paid privatley to another PS who is well known in my area his advise was instead of another op for the moment have Botox to make it look better .So I told my plastic surgeon she has now wrote to me saying she thinks I should go for a second opinion as I had been question what she does but I thought you should be able to ask not be told after all it is my body.

Is your surgeon still at primary school??? I would go for the second opinion that she offers, presumably as your nhs surgeon has recommended you do then it would be free via the nhs. Perhaps if you asked other ladies on here for nhs plastic surgeons in and around your area you might get really good recommendations from thr people who really do know. I know that medical professionals names cannot be put on the forum as it’s s breach of forum rules, but I am sure people would br very happy to personal message you with info.
Good luck
