Re: Looking for a new plastic surgeon

A quick update I found a new PS that I like alot! He is very well known in our area. When I saw him at first I did not tell him about my bad experiance with the old one, that I just was looking for a new one to take care of me for the rest of my life. When he examinded me he said well you probably know the reconstructed nipple was put in the wrong place and you must have a lot of rib pain because the skin was put around the implant so tight that your ribs are so exposed especially with the radiation you have had. (You may recall that I came to this site because I was going to have an mri for serious rib pain and the possibility if mets. (the mri was clear!) He also said the breast you have left is two inches lower than the reconstruction one. I couldn't believe it! I just wanted to cry at first. It was so great going to a dr and not having to complain and he just knows whats going on! I am having surgery next Wed. and I have never been so happy going into one! I feel I am on top of the world! God is Good! (all of the time!). Thank you everyone for your support!

P.S. As it turns out before I left he asked me who it was. So I told him and he hung his head down in embaressment and said he taught him!

P.S.S Ok so maybe this wasn't so quick! lol!
