Need address to correct reconstruction
Hi ladies
4 months ago I went for my left breast reconstruction by "SGAP". It turned into a nightmare because of an undetected hemorrhage. This group gave me so much support that it made me feel better.
The first result was horrible. The reconstructed breast was enormous much too high on my chest and hanging on the side. And everything was tense. The surgeon said it was normal and he would fix all of that. He made me wait 4 months. I was scared stiff to go back but I did the day before yesterday. Well, the result is the same. It is horrible and I still cannot dress and even less wear a bra. I feel like Frankenstein.
I would like to get an opinion from a US hospital. Preferably on the east coast because I live in France.
Do you have any suggestions? I was thinking either of BWH in Boston or Sloan or Johns Hopkins in NY. Any thoughts?
Michka
