Symmetry after lumpectomy

JJOntario · October 2016

Has anyone had any positive experiences with gaining symmetry after after Lx? I have one side sitting 3 inches higher than the other and I'm so on the fence of chasing ifthis can be fixed?

Hi JJ,

We're sure you'll be getting some great responses here soon. In the meantime, you may want to check out the main Breastcancer.org site's pages on Reconstruction After Lumpectomy and Altering the Opposite Breast for some great information.

We hope this helps!

Hi JJ. Hopefully someone will answer soon. I would like to know too because I am interested in trying to even things back out but not sure if it would be worth the trouble

I saw a plastic surgeon for this issue. She said she would lift the good breast and I guess she thought this would even things out a bit. I don't want to make my good breast smaller. I also am interested in other people's experiences.

I feel exactly the same. I had breast augmentation 10 months prior to dx and had the boobs of my dreams...now....well....it just sucks.
