Ladys My Question Is Are You Happy With Your Reconstructionn?

A MyBCTeam Member asked a question 💭
Klamath Falls, OR

One side of my reconstruct is under the muscle but the other side had no muscle left. I look like I have a flat tire on the muscle side.my reconstructed nipples are silly. One is on the up side and the other is down. They are at least an inch and a half different. One is under my arm the other is out front. So is this normal? I have thought that if this reconstruction was a man's you know what it would be much much closer to perfection!

I didn't have the nipple done or the tattoo it is fine the way it is. Lets face it, it will never be like our own but it fills our bar cup so we look normal to others. Don't stress this it is what it is.

If your husband and you are also OK, let it go. But if it concerns you, first and foremost, make the appointment and see what the proposal is.. Good luck:-) :-)

Amen!! when I describe my "fake" breast I say it looks like some one just put a big blob of play dough there. I am so disappointed with the way it looks and feels, if I had it to do over I would have not had it done at all, but all the pictures the plastic surgeon shows you are the success stories they have and how much better they look on other people. My surgeon's office keeps calling me to schedule having my tattoo to make my nipple look more real, but I keep refusing to have that done, I don't want any more done to my breast blob than has already been done and my husband bless his heart agrees with me.

I remain displeased with the discomfort and appearance of mine one year after surgery. I wish I was a tiny, thin woman. I'd have them out and get on with feeling good. Being heavy, I would never find clothes to fit without them.
