[quote=Anonymous]I did this. At age 46- learned of BRCA gene after family member had cancer diagnosis. While I have no regrets doing it and did straight to implant, it was a major surgery with lasting psychological and physical effects. It is not a boob job. I have no feeling in my breasts and scaring from tissue that died on one nipple. I cannot do push ups yet and still have some tightness a year post surgery. I feel an immense sense of relief that I reduced my risk of breast cancer but it is not a decision to be taken lightly. [/quote]
