More waiting, more decisions to be made
I made it. I am officially done having my skin stretched. I made it to 450 cc. Now I just need to pray that it is enough. It is back to the waiting game.
I do not have to return to my doctor till Sept. 2. I am actually quite excited about having six weeks off. I have been driving up to Square Lake and Woodward every Wednesday since May and I am ready to have my Wednesday mornings back.
However, now is my time to do a little research about different types of implants. After reading the comment from one blog reader, I asked my doctor about the teardrop shaped implant . He wasn't too sure about it because of the chance of movement of the implant. I guess there is the chance it could flip upside down, which would then need to be fixed surgically. I think the teardrop implant might be what I am need to have a more natural look. So my doctor is suggesting a textured teardrop implant. Has anyone used the textured implant? Does it make a difference?
I need to start talking to people and figuring out what is best for me. Because I choose to only have a right-breast mastectomy, I will always have to worry about my breasts matching. I hope it is a decision I don't come to regret. My doctor keeps reassuring me I will look fine in clothing, but I'm not sure if that is enough for me. I am hoping the textured teardrop implant is the answer to my concerns.
Please, if anyone has suggestions about my upcoming decision, I would love to hear from you.
