Oh my gosh :( you brave soul. Im still wondering why they remove the nipples.

(i know i may sound ignorant)

NOT AT ALL =) Nipples are still breast tissue,si therefore by leaving them, leaves more risk behind.

do you have to get the implants. could you (Me) just stay without the implants?

[JKKJ12]

Thank you so much for sharing this. I'm facing my own mastectomy in three days and this gives me courage and hope.

Thanks for this video! I was diagnosed with breast cancer 2 days after Christmas 2010, had bilat mastectomy with reconstruction a month later. I just had my first fill yesterday and I am already starting to feel better. I am actually looking forward to my next fill in a week. I loved how you showed the sequence of expansions, and in the final image your breasts look beautiful!!

Thank you for this uplifting video!!

Thank you so much. It was so nice to see the transformation from 4 days post op to the end of the procedure. I'm getting my mastectomy this Thursday. April 12, 2012. I'm terrified but looking at your end result...it is definitely worth it :) Thanks again

I'm scheduled for my double mastectomy next Friday. Thank you so much for this video. We have nearly the same body type and frame and I even have a tattoo of a wave on my right arm. This video gave me huge huge hope. :-)

Thank you so much. I am 42 years old and have my appointment for my surgical options tomorrow. I have been terrified about if my only option is a mastectomy. Now I feel more at ease after seeing your transformation. You have no idea how much this helped me :)
