Well Kathy, I know it's too early to tell yet (it's only been 8 days) so far they look perfect. Perfectly symmetrical and contoured. Dr. Hijjawi did an absolutely beautiful job and as I've stated before I couldn't be more pleased. However, time will tell.............but my guess is that stage 2 won't be happening to me. All has went so wonderfully I believe it will just continue.
On a side note.........for those of you midwestern girls that are looking into DIEP reconstruction I would highly recomment Dr. John Hijjawi. His credentials are awesome - he's done about 200 of them now - hey, Prevention Magazine just did a piece on this and talked with him - he must not be a schmuck. LOL LOL! I'm just kidding. Seriously, he is a very intelligent and gifted man - known for his "work" and the results he produces. He has not had a failure. To top that all off, his mother had breast cancer and reconstruction so breast cancer and reconstruction are near and dear to his heart. As we've all said before......having a smart doctor that is on top of new things is the most important thing BUT if they are kind and caring, well, that's the whole package and he definitely is that.
Thanks guys........
Mary Jo
