Re: failed reconstruction following prophylactic mastectomy

Do you have to wait that long, until September? I thought my PS said a few months healing then the flap from shoulder blade then healing a few months then try expander which could take a few months for proper expansion, then implant. Any thoughts people on saline vs silicone implants? I'm thinking saline is much safer.
