Hi
I`m newly diagnosed with Invasive Ductal breast cancer , i`ve got 2 x lumps both in the same breast , i`m down to have my surgery of a therapeutic mammoplasty on 1st October , but surgeon is only operating on one breast first then 6 months later she will address my "good breast " , Has anyone else had this procedure and how did it work with bras with breasts being so different in size ? i`m so overwhelmed with everything going on at the moment , Many thanks
Hi,
I had a similar experience with having to deal with asymmetrical breasts after my surgery for more than 12 months and I have to say it wasn't a pleasant experience until I bought a bra the size of my larger breast and then I bought a Post Surgery Breast Form from M&S (they come in different sizes and for right/left breasts) and just attached it to my bra to fill the cup for the smaller breast. You just have to position it properly so that it doesn't look weird under your clothes. It was pretty comfortable and my breasts looked even. You really don't have to worry about that. The very best of luck with your surgery, fingers crossed everything goes well!
