Mastectomy & reconstruction for big boobies

Hi all, I hope you can give some advice. My sister is having a single mastectomy next week then will have reconstruction at some point after that. Her other boob will need to be reduced but is concerned they won't get them the same size as she's a G cup! She was thinking of just having a double mastectomy instead. Can anyone advice please. Thank you 

  • Hi Famy and welcome to the forum.

    Hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar situation will share their experiences and advice with you soon but whilst you wait I just wanted to give you our cancer nurses telephone number in case you or sister wanted to have a chat with them about this. They're available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on 0808 800 4040.

    We have some information about surgery choices on our website just here as well.
