Swimangel and Lizbeth..... did each of you only have one breast done. Swimangel... did you say in the other thread that you had a muscle sparing surgery...if so... what tissue did they use to create a breast from?? I wish there was a way for us to share pictures for those that wanted share... I sure wouldn't mind showing my pics of all my before and afters and I would love to see others.... I have googled looking for pics of before and afters but I can't really find too many.
