Hello all and appreciate all advice and helpful comments in advance.

I just had my exchange yesterday on my right breast which had the uni mx, left breast also got an implant and lift. My concern is I don't know how it will look down the road. The implant is much higher and I have this wrinkly skin toward the cleavage area. I know things won't be 100% back to normal. but i was so looking forward to not needing to wear a bra. Please advise, really would like to see realistic pics online, I only see the best case scenarios. I have 800cc round smooth implant in the right, and 300cc in the left. Please advise thanks again.

    Hi LilyRay-

    Welcome to BCO! We certainly understand your concerns, it's hard to get an idea of what the final result will be while the healing is still happening. Keep in mind that there will be lots of changes to both breasts as the tissue stretches and the implants settle. We do have a forum where members exchange pictures of their reconstructions, but it's a private forum and you need to request access. It's the only forum on the discussion boards with it's own member moderators, who maintain the privacy of the forum for the sake of the members who use it. You can read more about how to request access to the forum here: https://community.breastcancer.org/forum/44/topics....

    We're sure more members will be along to offer their insight and experiences, as well!
