Did you have a flap reconstruction? If you did it’s so common and quite a few patients are offered debulking surgery when they have healed.

Ask about reducing the size of the graft. It may be too early but it’s worth asking. The surgeons often move more than is needed. Don’t worry about the delay and good luck.
