I'm 68. My last reconstruction was 2005 ( a re-do of 2004 reconstruction). Now I may have a ruptured implant, so may be looking at another one. MRI in 2 weeks to find out for sure.

My symmetry was originally pretty good after the 2005 surgery, but over the past 5 years has gotten worse, so honestly I was interested in a 3rd reconstruction anyhow. Which will now be a must if there is a rupture. (I had to have brain surgery in 2019 to remove a meningioma. Now recovered from that and find out maybe need another reconstruction surgery. )

Now I'm on Medicare with a Health Net supplement. Many PS in my area (southern California) don't even take insurance! Not looking forward to finding out how expensive it will be.

Anyone with PS recommendations that take Medicare in California? I live in North San Diego and my daughter lives in the Bay area, so will travel if necessary. Interested in flap reconstruction. I may live another 20 years and don't want to go through this again.
