Will be having a mastectomy in a couple of weeks and I need to make a decision about what types of reconstruction I want. Can I just have the mastectomy and then go private in a couple of years and get implants done? Can that be done? Or is it best to get it done when having the mastectomy? The thought of having an 8 hour surgery scares me (they said it could take that long as they need to remove fat from my belly or back) and even then I’m not even sure I’ll be eligible as I don’t really have much fat in my belly area. Pls help with any experiences you have. I don’t think I’m ready to go flat yet. I’m so torn and so worried. Thank you 🩷
