Those who got implants *post* mastectomy, how did your recovery go?
I had my PDMX back in February; I wasn't eligible for Direct-to-Implant reconstruction since my breasts were too large, so my surgeon did double drape reconstruction (basically Goldilocks). I've decided I still want implants however, and so my implant surgery is officially scheduled for August 13th.
I'm curious to hear from those who got implants *after* the mastectomy, especially months later, how did your recovery go? How long did you take off from work? My surgeon already told me I won't need drains again, so that's a relief 😌
Any answers, feedback, and tips are greatly appreciated!
