Hi Guys, 

I hope this doesn’t come across as a very silly question in the scheme of things.

I had a lumpectomy and a sentinel lymph node biopsy on 21st May. My breast is obviously swollen and tender, but has changed shape a fair bit in the past couple of days and appears very flat at the front. I am not worried, just wonder if this is normal/common.

    Hi mine was very flat where my scar was but has become a lot more filled out as it has healed. My lumpectomy was 26th feb. It’s changed shape again since radiotherapy which I finished last week. I was told it could take 12 months to completely settle down and then can have fat injections to fill it out. Hope this helps xxx nicky
