Double Mastectomy question
Short question:
What surgery options are there for someone who has had a double mastectomy without any expanders/reconstruction yet?
Longer but similar question:
I have already spoken to a plastic surgeon about what potential things can happen after a Double mastectomy, but I was also wondering what you guys think, my plastic surgeon said I can get implants later on after the double mastectomy/get reconstruction after. Is this true? his thoughts were just get everything removed and if I do not like what it looks like I can always come back to see him and then we could do actual reconstruction/implants. And since I am so skinny my layer of skin is already thin, so he thinks separate surgeries would benefit me anyways.
I do trust he’s correct in this but I would just like to know others agree with this.
As I said I am skinny, and have small breasts, I wanted to go flat and keep my nipples, but plastic surgeon said he could only do a male configuration, but I want to present feminine, so I am seeing first how ‘saggy’ I get and then probably will try smaller implants if I do not like the way that looks.
But do any of you have suggestions on other surgery options, I am new to all of this as I have the BRCA gene and never thought to change my body, I am kinda forced into this. Again I am skinny, so fat transfer isn’t an option for me.
