I am in no way a surgeon, but looks to me something wasnt done

right. Maybe I dont understand, but I thought a bilateral mastectomy

was a removeal of the breast? These pictures do not no where near

look like the ones I have seen for that type of surgery. I even

looked on the internet at pics. The breast is usually gone with no

bumps like that. But again, I am no surgeon or perfessional to

judge. If it were me...( my opinion only), I would do whatever it

takes to make myself comfortable. Arent you uncomfortable and in

pain while waitressing? I know its hard to do, but I would get to a

reconstructive surgeon and get ALL your options on this.

Do you not have Medical Insurance? They should cover most of the

cost. You dont have to be a vain person to want something better

than what they gave you. I know it might be hard, but try not to

worry about everyone else around you and worry about what will make

you happy. Get the advice you need and the questions answered and

then go from there. I know you may not want surgery again or

reconstruction, but it might make you feel better in the long run.

Best of Luck

Hi . I have a question for about your breasts prior to your

surgery...were you large breasted? If I had not gone ahead with

reconstruction I was informed by my plastic surgeon (not the general

surgeon) that because of my large breasts the tissue is not cut away

after the mastectomy. The mastectomy is only removing the breast

tissue. I told him I had intended for reconstruction so he wasn't

concerned about large skin folds which appears is what you have. I

think before you see an attorney and potentially add more bills to

your already stressed finances I would see a plastic surgeon first

and get his or her evaluation. Attorney's know the legal issues but

they aren't physicians and often they end up consulting with one

prior to proceeding with a case anyway (based on my sister's

misdiagnosis a few years ago).

The pain you are mentioning could be a scar contracture where the

skin does tighten up and is very painful. From what I was warned

about as a possible complication the only way to correct that is

another surgical procedure.

Hang in there and keep your chin up.

Take care,
