I had my reconstuction 2 months ago! I'm satisfied and very proud of my new breast. I had also the nipple reconstructed and all my friend say "I don't believe, it is a REAL NIPPLE"!
I had the tissutal expander for one year (since the mastectomy) and the surgeon used a silicon implant (in Italy they use this kind).
I have only one lament: it would be better to have a profilactic mastectomy of the other breast, but it is not so used in Italy. I asked for it last year but my surgeon said to me it was no necessary.
Before the surgery I was looking to a lot of pictures of recostruction just doing a search for images with google!
