Hi All

After DCIS diagnosis, op and radiotherapy.  (the speedy but high dosage type that they have now stopped using) things are a bit wonky.  

My surgeon wants to do a second op to even things up a bit - he was suggesting straight lipofill but now thinks a crescent flap - with some lipofill to push my nipple back front and centre.

At the moment I have a bulge above the scar tissue which was thought to be a lymphoedema but now they think not - so they think the op would help even that out.

Has anyone any knowledge or experience of this procedure - particular the crescent  flap op please? I haven’t been able to find out very much about it.

I am in two minds so any advice/experiences would be really helpful.

Many thanks all, keep well.

    I don't have any knowledge or experience of this procedure but noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.
