6 months agoDid you ever think about reconstruction with your own tissue ? I had double mastectomies and had diep flap reconstruction . The best thing I ever did for myself under the circumstances. They look real and feel real. Maybe it is an option for your ? Hugs.

6 months agoI had a double mastectomy with no reconstruction. My surgeon use the AFC and it is wonderful. Unfortunately, my partner kind of had blown me off. By choice, with her reaction and a few other issues, after 14 years, I left. I am happily single and have other women who embraced me
