I am 39 and had bilateral mx two years ago. I have recently felt that I'd like a female shape again but the docs have said they won't give me implants because of the radiotherapy. I really don't fancy the bigger operations but am now waiting for an appointment to have a chat about it all with plastics so I can make the informed decision. I don't really like the way my breastbone sticks out and feel quite self conscious about it so don't generally go out without my falsies in. That said, it is quite nice to go bra/boob free around the house.
Quite honestly I cannot see me having recon but I know that I'm ok with no boobs. I'm in no pain/discomfort and can run, walk the dogs. My family say they don't notice my breastbone - maybe they don't but either way I don't lose sleep over it! I kind of look forward to the day I'm out and about and suddenly realise I have forgotten to put my boobs in! Has this happened to anyone?!
All the best
Nat
