Q: I am unhappy with the results of my breast reconstruction. How many other ladies have had their implants taken out and not replaced? Did the doctor take off the excess skin? And are you happy about it

Jill, I'm sorry that you didn't get the results you were hoping for; after all that time and surgery, it must be very discouraging. I had autologous reconstruction (using body tissue), so can't speak to implants; but mine turned out very well... Ladies, can anyone else give Jill some support here? PJH
