I had immediate implant placed under the chest muscle using my own skin as a sling. I was very, very large breasted so plenty to use! I also had reduction to the healthy breast. I am happy clothed but they do differ a lot in size but I am on diet and hopefully the reduced breast will get a bit smaller, although based on my previous experiences it is unlikely to get much smaller. The mastectomy side is a thicker scar and no nipple freaks me a bit when I look. I personally hate having to massage the scars which make it all too real. I think the emotional wobbles are down to reality sinking in about what happened so quickly. Routine mammogram was on 4th Sept and surgery 4th Dec, luckily I had DCIS, a pre invasive cancer contained within the ducts so no further treatment required. I get annoyed when I can't do what I want to do because I'm either too tired or sore. I still have very slight area near nipple on reduced breast that still bleeds a little. I now find it is just enough to place a piece of gauze over nipple to keep it clean. I want to be able to sleep on my right side, but that is my implant side and it just isn't comfortable yet to do so. The implant every day feels more like part of me rather than a foreign body. The electric shocks and sunburn feelings get less every day but still manage to make me catch me breath sometimes. Sorry, I have rambled on haven't I lol quick answer yes, I'm happy with appearance considering I had no choice and wobbles are down to a bit of everything. stella x
