breast reconstruction question
I'm almost 7 years out and had a lumpectomy. I'm just now thinking about reconstruction. Was wondering what my options are. I'm wanting some fat taken from my stomach and fill in my breast. Is that even a option?? Do they have to take muscle with it? I'm sick of sewing a breast form into my bathing suit and hoping it doesn't fall out!! Worrying about what the surgery might to do my lymphedema. Would love all your opinions!
