Hi Michelle,
Reconstruction can be the second step of the mastectomy or delayed until you are ready. I waited 5 months after my mastectomy until I started reconstruction. You can visit the plastic surgeon anytime for a consultation and help you plan your own personal timeline when you are ready. Best wishes on getting your energy back – it takes time, so try and be patient and don’t do too much too fast. Warm Regards, Britta
when does reconstructive surgery begin? I am still very tired after 4 weeks from surgery.
