reconstruction using the expander then silicone

Hello,

I am booked in for a bilateral reconstruction using the expander method then eventually silicones. I am 32 and need some positive encouragement as I am quite scared. I am a survivor of bc for four years. As I have the Br 1 gene I am reducing my risk of it returning dramatically.

I am worried about the recovery and the muscle spasms people talk about. I am also unsure whether to have a tear drop silicone shape or round. I am only 32 and quite frankly would like an improvement on what I have.

I need some positive stories to get me there!!!
