There is nothing quite like getting information and advice from someone who has walked the walk. Your surgeon should be able to show you several images of women who have had procedures, but this is just part of the picture. Having those images in the context of an actual person and her lifestyle can play an enormous part in helping you to feel more assured about your choices.
Connecting with women with experience gives you practical insight in the recovery period that anyone who has not been there simply cannot describe. For many women joining a support group, either face to face or online, is a great way to exchange stories and images. Some ladies like the opportunity to touch a “real fake” breast to judge for themselves how that might feel for them. |
