message for skimum(claire) Hi
did you have your diep on 16th April? If so, how are you doing? I had mine on 17th April and have been back at home a week, everything is doing fine. Not having too much trouble walking and standing, though obviously not too far or for too long, but managed a walk around tescos yesterday, with a friend doing the trolley pushing etc. I’m quite pleased with how well it’s going and also with the result, although I think the recon is a bit smaller than the real breast - not quite sure how it looks in clothes though until I can start wearing a decent bra!
Hope everything is going well for you.
Best Wishes
Amanda
Hi Amanada,
Thanks for your message, I’m glad your Diep went well and that you’re back home, recovering well and pleased with the result.
Yes I had mine on the 16th with reduction of other side, I was in a week and like you have been doing really well with my recovery. My recon is smaller than the reduction but according to my surgeon it’s a work in progress and it will change and drop over the coming weeks and the reduction is still swollen so its hard to tell. So far though I’m thrilled with the results especially as my chest was so concave and boney on the mastectomy side it was difficult to hide, now thats padded out and looks great.
Its been a very good experience for me and I feel so differant since having it done, much more positive and happy and even though its early days I don’t mind looking in the mirror now!
Love
