I am 1 year after a lumpectomy, and feel lopsided as quite a large section was removed from my breast following diagnosis after a mammogram. Is there anywhere I can go to be fitted for such a thing. Thanks in advance for your help
I had a lumpectomy 2 years ago and am now 2 cup sizes smaller and lopsided. I had a fitting for a prostec done by my breast nurse at my breast center.
2 weeks ago I had a meeting with the cosmetic surgeon to have lipofilling and a reduction of my good breast, Have you thought about this., they will be taking the fat from my thighs which i have plenty to give.
Hi Carolyn. Thanks for your help. I’ll try ringing my nurse tomorrow. I’d not thought about surgery I’ll have to think about that. Good luck with your work though
Hello LSarah, I know what you mean about the amount of tissue that can be removed from a lumpectomy. Actually the medical term for the lumpectomy is partial mastectomy which is sometimes more appropriate. I had lumpectomy on both breasts snd am small breasted so it is difficult as if they need to remove too much it would not look good cosmetically. I am ok with how I look but a little lipofilling would add some volume. I am 74 and don’t think I want to do it but if I was younger I would do it for sure. They do it a lot here in US and it looks good. Another option for you to consider but can always get a prosthesis too . Did you have radiation too as that can also cause breast changes. Here is a link on lipofilling
