I visited my plastic surgeon today and he's very happy with my healing this time. I'm so glad to not need dressings 3 times a day anymore. It will take another 2 months for my chest to fully heal and settle down. It's very hard and lumpy at the moment, but it will go through various stages and eventually become softer.
We discussed further surgery today and we agreed on a TRAM or DIEP flap. Which is basically using my tummy with or without muscle to make new breasts. This will be my final surgery and almost the end of my journey. About bloody time too eh! The final part will of course be 3D nipple tattoos.
This final operation will be a 12 hour surgery, but he's going to have another great surgeon perform this with him, so it's only 6 hours in theatre. This is the surgery I wanted back in 2015, but I was too slim back then and had no tummy. But during treatment I have gained 3 stone and now I've just enough fat to make a small pair of boobies, which I'm more than happy with believe me. Better than the scars I'm left with now and better than my experience with implants, plus I'm alive and that's all that matters.
I'm so happy and wish you all a wonderful week xx
