I just wanted to let people know that not all breast implants are evil. I'm 15 and have Poland's syndrome. Google to see details of it. Luckily, my hands are fine, and I'm only missing my right pec muscle and the breast tissue. but because of this, I never developed a right breast the matched the left (which is unaffected by Poland's) so over the course of 4 years, I developed into a D on the left and not even half an A on the right.
About 5 weeks ago, I had reconstructive surgery to create a right breast. Now, for the first time in my life, I have two breasts. Granted, the right is a B, but still, its better then nothing. In November, I'm having a second to reduce the left. But in the end, I'll look normal. I wont have to worry about if my shirt is too low and the prosthetic is showing, or if my bra slid so the right side was a lot lower then the left. But by January, Ill be able to wear whatever I want. And I'm glad I had my procedure done.
After all these years of lies, and hiding, I don't have to worry. In school I couldn't do swimming, claiming I was allergic to chlorine. I had to sleep with a bra on at peoples houses if they didn't know about it. I'm lying to people now about why I'm having surgery, telling them its my shoulder (only 4 friends and my family know the truth). I'll be able to buy something other then sports bras, they were the only thing that was strong enough to support the prosthetic. I just wanted to tell people that, though most cases of plastic surgery, in my opinion, are not totally needed, when they are warranted, they can positively affect a persons life. I feel like I'm getting a chance to start over and really be who I am. Without the lies.
