Isn't it ironic ? I had a double mastectomy with reconstruction as many of my readers know.  That alone was very challenging .  I caught both breast cancers early enough so that I didn't need chemotherapeutic therapy . I had three surgeries just on my implants.   I've had to have them removed twice. Once was because they found silicone artifacts in my chest. They took the silicone implants out. I opted for Saline implants but they looked awful.  If you're going to have reconstruction I do NOT suggest Saline . They are not aesthetically pleasing..
