In 2005 I had a tram flap on my left breast. I know you can only have that once. I decided not to do my right breast because I didn't want my husband to have to endure more pain than I new he was going to have to. (I know, stupid reason) Now I am not happy with the tram flap. I have tried every bra in the world and the left strap is always falling down or the bra coming up. I have had about 6 surgeries in all. A year later I am looking for ways to make both breast the same so maybe I can actually look normal through my clothing. Bra's are uncomfortable so I tried tank tops under my shirts. That works for the winter with ten layers of clothing, but what about other times? One nipple points north and the other south. I thought of having my left breast redone but what type of surgery is there that can accomodate a tram flap. OR can I have it removed and start with another flap from a different part of my body? The breast is not the only problem. Under my left breast on my upper abs there is a strange "fat pocket." It looks like I'm fat on that one side. Any tight shirt makes me look like I have three boobs. It's just not becoming. My doctor didn't see what I saw. But everyone else does. Let's not forget I still feel discomfort through my abs and breast.
Complaining about my looks when I have been saved by the grace of God and medical genius is probably a sin. I just want to feel normal on the outside as much as the inside. My soul feels saved but my self doubt still gets in the way.
