Tomorrow I go for my second reconstruction. The 1st ruptured about 1 month ago. Boy was I surprised. I was never told that could happen. I had saline and my doc feels the scar tissue caused it to rupture. That is the one downside to implant reconstruction. I will say that the recovery was very easy when I had it done the 1st time. The expanders were the worst part. I am going for the new memory gel silicone. I can go back to work in 1 week! I will let you all know how it turns out. Isn't it great to be 50 and have boobs that are 21? Be back in a few days!!!
