cosmetic surgery after lumpectomy?

cosmetic surgery after lumpectomy?

I am a 2 yr bc survivor.  I had lumpectomy and nodes removed.  I was never very large breasted and it has left the affected breast pretty deformed.  Is there any danger for me to consider augmentation at this time?  (on both breasts)  I did get a tummy tuck a few months ago and have been very pleased with the results.

Hi,

You could get a breast augmentation surgery done but you should talk to your surgeon about the possible side effects and complications of the surgery.

Also, let your surgeon know about your past medical history.

Breast augmentation surgery is being done in many women post lumpectomy.

Do let us know about the discussion with your doctor.

Hope this helps.

Good luck.
