Dr. C points out that breast reconstruction should be viewed as a process rather than one procedure because for most people it's going to take more than one procedure to get the best results.

The DIEP FLAP recovery was brutal. But after one year of recovery, I am now onto the next phase - fine tuning of nipple recon, reshaping that breast and also doing a skin sparing mastectomy of the other natural breast with immedicate recon with an implant. Feeling nervous but also excited that finally I might be able to wear a bra properly without having uneven breasts. And not having to do mammograms anymore is also something I look forward to.
I am almost one month post phase 2 I still have some soreness on the side of both my breast this normal?
Definitely run this by your surgeon to see what the cause is.
Hello about how long is recovery time after stage 2?
Hi Rachel. Generally speaking a week to 10 days. But as with any surgery, variables depend on individual patients, what they are having done at phase 2, and how well they heal.
