Back to the body shop

Just met with my brilliant breast reconstruction surgeon to discuss the painful scar tissue (the stuff that caused my recent scare) and the dents and flattened nipples situation. He could definitely feel the hardened capsular scarring and said he could try to remedy it but no guarantees it won't happen again. The dents and nipples is a relatively straightforward fix using fat from my mid section. See! A good use for my new menopausal "love handles" haha. :/

Another surgery on the books for mid-April now. It will be an iterative process to address it all but the girls should be finished with reconstruction this year.

Thank you, Lord, for the brilliant and compassionate Dr.Crisera!

My second reconstructive surgery in July was to correct something similar although did not have pain. You will feel much better!

That stinks that you have to have another surgery, but having faith for you that all will be fixed :)
