Surgical removal of breast cancer. What does it look like after?

I am having a wide excision of a 2-3cm tumour in left breast ( upper inner quadrant). What will my breast look like after? Is it really painful?

    I had a 9mm wide excision just before Christmas and have a scar under my breast to the side. There is a little dent but nothing to warrant a prosthesis- I am back to wearing normal bras and my boobs look the same. The surgeons are very good at making the best outcome
