Resizing the other breast after lumpectomy

My surgery has left me with two very different sized breasts.  The surgeon has suggested I have the bigger, non-affected breast (GG) reduced to match my now cancer free breast (E-F).  

Has anyone else done this recently?

  • Thanks Viv.  I will be going through a  plastics guy in Brisbane.  How long were you out of action?  Did it make a difference to your upper back/neck?  I am looking for relief from pain in these areas more than anything I supose.

    Cheers

  • Hi IND88,

    After lumpectomy and radiation my bc breast shrank to a C cup, my other breast was still E cup.  I have since had my good breast reduced through the public system in Melbourne.  Happy to answer any questions, so ask away.
