I am staring down this same surgery and I very much appreciate your thoughtfulness about yours.

Thank you for sharing this. So encouraging! I've been contemplating if/when to do a DIEP flap surgery (I had an implant DMX in 2020 and....six years later it all still feels incomplete). Anyway, this is really the encouragement I needed to read today! Thank you.

Hi Fay! Please get in touch if you want to talk. I considered all options and arrived at DIEP flap after talking to multiple people who had gone that route. Happy to chat about the experience, get in touch!
