Re: failed reconstruction following prophylactic mastectomy
Thank you everyone for the replies. I too am so afraid for the future surgeries I will face to give me breasts. The left needs a lift and a reduction following an unsuccessful diep flap that left me with an open wound that has healed but the tissue where wound healed is a very red rigid tight band of tissue. The right breast wound is still healing but much smaller now. Sure hope in a years time I'll be posting a success story. Anyone know top plastic surgeons in Chicago or Chicago burbs?
