I had a lumpectomy last year and now have one boob almost half the size of the other. I’m going on holiday in Feb and really want to wear swimwear, but will need some form of chicken filet to fill out the smaller boob!
I’ve seen loads of posts for mastectomies but not for lumpectomies. Can anyone recommend anywhere that does ones suitable for swimming?
thank you!
Id talk to the breast team too. There's a sale on swimsuits on Amoena website in case of any help. Zoggs make a good swimming costume too now according to one instagram post ive seen by liz o'riordan. She does mention the knitted knockers (you might have a local knit / crochet group that could create if you can't) and the website mentions an acrylic blend as stuffing for swimming. Just a google search to help - im beginning this journey of learning one month post op.
