Hi -
I had breast reconstruction using expanders at the time of my mastectomies. For me choosing the implant route was the right decision because I like to swim and canoe and I enjoy using my muscles. I didn't think the sacrifice of working muscles for pseudo boobs was worth it - and I have since talked to a massage therapist (ok - not a medical therapy) who reported that her recovering cancer patients who went through with reconstructions using tram flaps or abdominal muscles had a very long recovery time - and there is no replacement for muscle tissue. I have yet to have my permanent implants put in - still living with expanders.
