Breast Conserving Surgery

Hi

I have just had breast conserving surgery and my affected breast is now much smaller than my other breast. How long do I need to wait before having surgery on the other breast so that they more closely match

  • I waited two years for symmetrizing surgery after having a tumour and a substantial amount of tissue removed from my left breast.  The reason for the wait apparently is that it can take a year or two for the affected breast to settle, therefore any sooner you may end up with odd sized boobs.  I hope this helps - I now have the best pair of 70 yr old boobs this side of the Tamar 

  • Hi Roberta -  thanks for taking the time to respond to my query.  I'm hoping to be able to say something similar once I've completed my treatment and the wait for a matching boob!  Looking for the postives in what's happening at the moment :)
