Prophylactic mastectomy and direct to implant reconstruction

Hello all,

I’m looking to hear personal experiences from anyone who has had prophylactic mastectomy and reconstruction.
How was the process started?

How long did the process take till you got the surgery done?

What type of reconstruction did you choose and why?

Were you able to keep your lymph nodes? 

If you got implants, what kind and why? 

Any tips to prepare for surgery and recovery, such as things to buy, videos to watch? 

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forum Mrs Diaz . I don’t have personal experience of this type of re-construction but hopefully someone will be along soon who does .
Im sure there will be lots of suggestions regarding recovery after the op also .Best wishes Jill x
