Hello @JodieMaree,
I had 3 (large) lumpectomies within 5 weeks recently.

Other than the scar , I didn’t even notice the loss of breast tissue. I do have large breasts and my surgeon did say that breast tissue is “very forgiving”. I noticed a bit more of loss after 3rd, but only marginal and not noticeable with bra on.
Unfortunately I have extensive DCIS and am now preparing for bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction. Something I would’ve freaked out about when I was first diagnosed, but now adjusting to it and seeing the benefits.

You will adjust and cope more as time goes by as you get this behind you. Hit your surgeon up with all the questions. All the best on your journey xx
