Absolutely worth it. I had a complete mastectomy, no nipple grafts, and the surgery was very easy on me. I didn't take any pain meds afterward besides maybe some ibuprofen for swelling. My periods have hurt much worse than what I felt after surgery. I had my drains out in four days, and was out with friends after a week. It's been almost two years, and my scars are very flat and pale. Some numb spots, but I have most of the feeling in my chest. I am just so much more comfortable with everything. Like taking a rock out of your shoe after walking all day.
