I am about to have my 6th breast recon SX...The first 4 attempts failed (by a really bad PS) and now I have a new PS and my Lat Dorsi with expander worked great...Can someone please tell me how long the healing time will be when I have the exchange to my new implant...Also, do I need to get a special bra for support to wear after my surgery...This is only a Lateral Exchange and my PS wants to do a lift on my remaining breast and I just don't know if this is a good ideal...I am so tired of surgeries and being in pain...Thanks for any help and advice!!!

    SusieR12-  Wow, already 5 surgeries.  That is a difficult road you have been on.  So glad you have a new PS.  I did not have the same procedure to I can't relay the healing time.  The one thing that I have noticed is that every PS is different about bras and what they prefer so I would ask your PS.  Good luck going forward and 6 has to be twice the charm!
