Breast Reconstruction – Take 7
Tomorrow, I have a consult with a plastic surgeon to see if I might consider breast reconstruction. No hesitation in that preceding sentence.
My regular surgeon (the one that performed the mastectomy) explained the surgery to me: “They take part of the stomach-if you’re overweight-and use that to construct the new breast.”
I have enough stomach to make four new breasts. I wonder if they can get rid of my big butt and thighs while they’re at it.
