Re: Reconstruction Re-do?
I cant speak to the insurance issue but I agree with my other HER2 sisters. I would get a redo. My PS told me that my final set would look good and they do. Sure I have scars but my breast are shaped real nice. I had radiation on one breast so that one breast doesn't look as good as the other. I didn't have unrealistic expectations and it doesn't sound like you did either. Your gonna have to live with the girls for a long time. Better to have a set you'll be happy with!
