Yes, my mother had a double masectomy done in January and just had her last reconstructive procedure done about 2 months ago. It takes some time and there is some pain involved, but sometimes if you have really good insurance, the insurance company will pay for part of the reconstruction.

I have heard that this possible in many cases but sometimes not possible in others. This question really should be asked to a plastic surgeon who specializes in reconstructive surgery after cancer surgery.

Haven't you heard of 'Fake Boobs'? Yes , you can have plastic surgery after a' mastectomy,'(that is the correct way of addressing the issue) if there is no evidence of any lingering cancer cells and there is also a sufficient amount of tissue(skin) left to graft.
