@A MyBCTeam Member, Hi Doll. I had bilateral mastectomy with diep flap reconstruction December 14th. I choose to have bilateral because I was BRCA 1 positive and had a reduction of my good breast from DD to C. I didnt have enough fat to produce two "c" cup breast so I have the flap on the right which was the one with the tumor and a expander on the left. I will say I am happy with the results. It wasnt painful for me at all. My stomach is healing very well. I have a little back pain when I sit to long. Im 7 weeks post surgery and I recently return to the gym with no restrictons. God has you no need to worry. Best wishes and keep us posted.

I had DIEP flap reconstruction and was only choice I could have. It was not gonna b my plan at first. Yes it is a very hard surgery and recovery. And yes I would do it again if had to. I am very pleased with my looks. I had bilateral reconstruction and after it heals u r done except for nipples and very simple surgery. Not like the expander so and fill ups. Y r well and done. I was 56 yrs old when had done 4 yrs ago.

Thank you for sharing.
