Hi Debs, my mastectomy scar is pretty high as well. My lump was in the upper outward quadrant. They called it 1pm on a clock face. It seemed really high, and when I had my secong boob off some 9 months later, I asked the surgeon to make it a bit lower, as he was going to make them the same. Whilst he did make it a little lower, it is not too much different from the first one. Now, I wish they were both the same and I had let him do what he had intended to do. I have just gone through reconstruction with expanders and had the siliocone implants put in yesterday. I found that the boob with the higher scar line actually expanded much more easily than the other. Now that the silicon is in, the scars do not look to high on my chest. The stretching of the skin seems to lower the scars. Both of mine are very long,
like 18 cm. The mastectomy that also removed 1/3 of
my lymph nodes is actually a little shorter than the one I
had removed as a precaution. Now when I look at my scars, I do wish they were identical, as now when I
have nipples done, the scar will be in different places. I
should have listened, as having one high scar will have
prevented me from showing too much cleavage
anyway. My new surgery has given me a cleavage
again, and I'm happy to say that the scar is now hidden
by the bra. Will you be having reconstruction? Love Chris xx
