Hi, is there anyone who could advise me on the following?
Had tram flap reconstruction three years ago, already had mastectomy on one breast. The recon was done on both.
Healing took a while. Had infection then scarring was quite bad. Dont heal very well. I continued to see the plastic surgeon and we had conversations regarding symmetry as one breast is about two cup sizes smaller than the other one. Also one is very pert but other one hangs quite low.
His intention was to make alterations to make them more symmetrical. It took until 2013 for him to put me on his waiting list as I’d put weight on and he wanted me to lose it plus I’d had my ovaries removed and didnt want any more surgery at that time.
After six months on the waiting list I was told I could not have any further surgery because the funding wasnt available. The CCG committee who approve the funding had also rejected surgery to have my nipples/tattooing done. The surgeon pushed them on that issue and hospital came back to see they could now do my nipples.
Has any one entountered anything similar? My breast size difference is quite noticeable but maybe I should just accept what I have?
