Thanks for your suggestions. I have pretty well decided that if it's not the Diep flap - and if he's not experienced at it - I won't do it.

I did not have radiation but I've heard that implants can "migrate" or move and that they can be cold - not something anyone wants to go through during a cold Canadian winter.

Lauriesh - since your surgery sounds so much like what I might be going through i.e. reduction on the other side - can you tell me about recovery?

I'll find out in a few hours. But oh man, I don't know about the rest of you but I'm so sick of being poked and prodded.
