Nancy,
One thought, and I know this is a hard one to consider. It is much easier to have perfect symmetrical breasts if they don't do surgery at all. In other words- prothesis.

It was never my first choice, I got a bad infection in my tissue expander after radiation and had to have it removed. My other breast is fine, and with my prothesis in, no one has ever been able to tell. Plus I am pain free and insurance pays for all my bras and protheses.

Just an idea- since you've been through hell and back with your surgeries. Also, I don't know if you know, but they over expand the skin on the mastectomy site with the expander, so that when the final implant is put in, the result will sag like the healthy breast. So until that final implant is in, it is likely to be much perkier than a normal boob.

So sorry for your frustration- I am afraid to have reconstruction again after my issues, I don't know if my skin will stretch again. It sucks to not have our own, God given bodies. I hope you can find a good solution.
