I was diagnosed with breast cancer shortly after turning 37. Newly divorced and starting chemotherapy, I also faced a bilateral mastectomy. My implants were placed under the pectoral muscle, and for the next 10 years I lived with enlarged pectoral muscles that occasionally locked and that I was told not to use. They never felt natural. When I returned to my original surgeon, I was told the muscle couldn’t be repaired and that fat grafting was my only option. I decided to get a second opinion, and I’m so grateful I did. This surgeon listened, understood the issues, and offered a solution I didn’t know was possible. For the first time in a decade, I feel like I truly have breasts again. The results are incredible, and I’m deeply thankful for the skill and care I received.
