Unilateral Mastectomy Asymmetry Surgery

I had a Unilateral Mastectomy with an immediate reconstruction 2 years ago.  I have been waiting to see a plastic surgeon to discuss my options and wondered if anyone had chosen to have an implant in the 'good' breast rather than just a 'lift'.  I am interested to hear if you were happy with the result or wish you hadn't had another implant.

Thanks

  • Hi Billymac and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I hope some of our members who have opted for an implant instead of a lift will share their experiences and advice with you soon but if you'd like to discuss this with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they'll do all they can to work through this with you and answer any questions you may have.

    You may also be able to find others who can offer you some insight within the online community at Breast Cancer Now.

    We're thinking of you Billymac and hope all goes well when you speak with your plastic surgeon.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
