Thank you so much for explaining that so clearly.

Hi dr, I had a bilateral mastectomy. It was preventative I had an immediate construction, but I had to have the implants removed due to an infection now I’m needed a flap or a fat transfer to the breast and every doctor which I speak with send me to PRMA in San Antonio but they do not accept my insurance. I am so sad. I really wanted them to perform for my surgery. I am still looking for a doctor with no success. 😢

Does this mean your just flat till DIEP? I’m ok with that because I don’t want expanders.
