Reconstruction

Monica; they have small implants, you just have to make sure your surgeon is listening to you. Mine wasn't. The implant I have now is a tear drop or pear shape and because I am older looks a bit more natural than the round ones. However, the smallest size it comes in is 360cc and I would have liked it a bit smaller. But it was a trade off between shape and size. My real problem continues to be the shape of the original expansion which my current doctor has tried his best to resolve. I have gained some weight so my right breast is bigger these days, so I would say I am matching pretty well. Your doctor sounds great--wish I could have gone to him. Stephanie

Hi Sherri, I went to Dr James Watson at UCLA Med Ctr - wonderful man! A genius if you ask me. Do you have any specific questions I can answer for you? I am pleased with my result so far, and looking forward to my 2nd surgery Nov 1st to lift my prophylactic side and create nipples. Then I'll go back a third time for tattooing. Very glad I did it. Feel free to ask anything you'd like to know.
