Here’s a description about a new reconstruction technique. It sounds amazing!
It’s been a tough couple of weeks here at Recon Central. As I mentioned in my last post, I’m currently going through breast reconstruction, and contrary to the Hollywood version (i.e., a woman decides to get new breasts following her mastectomy and a half hour later is sporting a pair of perfect, perky boobs), my experience has been less than immediate. Or ideal.
Without getting too technical — or too graphic — let’s just say the body’s healing process can be excruciatingly slow, scary and gross. Especially when you’re dealing with radiated skin which is touchier than a hornet on steroids. I’m currently a month out from surgery and Lefty (my radiated breast) still looks like something you might see on The Walking Dead. But while it’s not pretty (or healthy — yet), the takeaway is that I actually have two small breasts where I only had well-developed pecs before.

It is just amazing to learn of these reconstructions… People’s blogs have been an education to me on this topic I had no idea what people have to go through to get the new “girls” thank you so much for sharing your story as you say it helps others…
Yes, I had no idea that this type of reconstruction was possible until I saw this story shared on Nancy’s Point. The ingenuity of humans is simply incredible.
