Day 6: Dead Man Walking....

As I've alluded previously, my cosmetic result from this surgical event, although still in-progress, is really pretty remarkable: imagine a pristine 38C that's about 2/3 deflated and a bit bruised along the edges....but with awesome potential! As Lenin said (although likely not in the context of breast reconstruction): to make an omelet, you gotta break some eggs; here, my fabulous plastic surgeon used an Acellular Dermal Matrix (ADM): a human-derived tissue matrix that provides a scaffold upon which my own cells can repopulate and re-vascularize to fill in the voids and help the temporary tissue-expander adjust to the neighborhood. Clever, huh?

In other words..."dead boob walking." I will owe my soon-to-be Victoria Secret worthy set to someone who checked the box saying "Donate everything...use it anyway you want."

Thanks dead guys.
