Jessica learned firsthand what an emotional and personal journey it is to lose sensation in your chest. Using tissue from her abdomen, Jessica’s surgeon performed Resensation—restoring feeling and her connection to her body.
When I did feel it for the first time, that pinch… I knew I was was going to be ok. I knew everything was going to come back to me. My journey was going to end positive.

Tara's Story
Nerves grow approximately one millimeter a day. As the nerves grew and became part of her body, Tara experienced a gradual return of sensation in her breasts over the course of several months.
It’s not just about the way the reconstructed breast looks; it’s the way it feels to the patient.

Part of telling my story is to really encourage other women in my situation to be proactive.
