Breast Reduction after Lumpectomy

You could ask your oncologist or breast surgeon can help - they may refer you to plastic surgery or they may offer the operation locally. They can also discuss other options with you that may be of interest.

My breast surgeon has offered me a reduction on the left hand side after my reconstruction is complete on the right side. There is quite a difference in mine too. It would be worth you asking. x

Hi Bojango

I had a lumpectomy just over a year ago. I am the same as you a DD in the good breast and a C in the other also it is out of shape.  I go to see my surgeon next Tuesday and hope they can do something about it . I don't want any surgery on my good breast,  hopefully she will come up with a solution as it is getting me down a bit now

My breast is still swollen after my lumpectomy 8 weeks ago but at the time I asked the nurse about the difference in size. She mentioned that later on I could have like a breast pad to put in my bra to compensate for the difference. Al the beat xx

Thank you Goodie75. It’s good to hear that a reduction can be offered. Your response has made me feel more confident in asking now that it seems it could be a possibility. X

Hi Carolyn. Like you my breast is also out of shape as well as smaller - to be expected. For me personally I would prefer to have a reduction on the “good” breast. I hope your Surgeon comes up with a good solution that you feel is best for you. X
