hi has anyone had a lump left behind post mastectomy? Lump is probably not the right word but I had right side mastectomy no recon. All neat flat scar then in middle of my chest next to good boob is a lump/skin like a tiny tiny boob almost lol. I do still have seroma around sln site and arm and when I bend forward I can hear the sloshing around my chest area

any help be grateful

Hi lady_tinkerbell

I can't help, but you've moved to the second page, so I'm just bumping you up to the top again.

I hope someone can come up with some advice.

Best wishes,

Hi lady_tinkerbell

I had reconstruction after my mastectomy, I had a lump which was a seroma, best thing is to ring your breast nurse, it might give you piece of mind especially with Christmas nearly here.

I have a little one, which isn't breast tissue but skin and fat. Apparently some surgeons leave a little 'unicorn' to help with cleavage, and if you have a delayed reconstruction the scar starts a little further in for better cosmetic effect.

Awwwww ok thank you. That makes sense I guess. Just looks so odd. You are bang on little unicorn is exactly what it looks like.

I cant imagine how that could help with cleavage but hey what do I know!

Thanks so much for replying
