    I have been reading so much on this website about breast reconstruction with implants, but not so much seems available about oncoplasty. I hope I am not missing something! Does anyone have information about this technique? I have read about it online and am having the surgery this coming Friday, but was hoping for some first hand experience. Thanks so much!!!!!

    I would love to hear more about your experience, as my surgeon has presented this as an option for me as well. I don't know if it's better to get a simple lumpectomy and hope the shape turns out good or go for the reduction and deal with the longer recovery, being two different sizes for a while, and needing an additional surgery on the opposite side.
