Reconstruction, Lumpectomy v Masectomy

I'm  52 and basically they were very keen to reconstruct as I was "young". Get an appointment with your breast surgeon (mine was fabulous . ..he did my  tissue expander reconstruction ..but we can't  pick them ) and ask for a referral to a plastic surgeon for reconstructive surgery. Tell him not only are you having issues due to the surgery, you have ongoing issues  with the physical aspects of this and definetly the  emotional aspect of a very poor surgical outcome, leaving  you feeling deformed. It can be improved. You may need to go on a waiting list but it will be worth it. I opted on mastectomy for  exactly this reason, but things can most definetly be done to make things better. Even if removing  the nipple is  necessary that can be reconstructed also. Good luck. Take care...you are worth it. Kath x
