Hello doctor , I had a breast lumpuctamy and lymph nodes dissection since 2 years , the problem is that I have a deep hollow area after the lymph dissection and it is annoying Me so much with my clothes and the way I look , I wonder what are the plastic surgey options available for my case , can this hollow area be compensated by silicon or filler , if it works would it affect my arm , is there a risk of getting lymphedema from such a surgery ?
I've had implants for 10 years, with mild capsular contracture. I now have to get a lumpectomy, and am concerned that the radiation will likely cause more severe contracture. What are my options (including permanent implant removal), and the pros/cons of each?
I had a lumpectomy on my breast 1/21. They removed a small benign mass along with a milk duct. Since surgery I've had fluid leaking. In the beginning it was pink/red fluid and now it's yellowish/orange which I believe to be seroma fluid. It's now 2/17 is it still normal for the fluid to still be leaking? It's coming from 3 different locations. One of which is a small hole where a stich is poking through.
I am having a lump in my breast removed on Friday (2.5 days) in order to biopsy it. I was told to stop all herbal medications two weeks prior to the surgery but nothing was said about herbal tea. It didn't cross my mind and I've had several cups over the past few days. Am I going to have to cancel the surgery? I was told I am not going under general anesthesia if that makes a difference.
My doctor tried to drain it 2 weeks after the surgery, but only a gel like substance came out. He said it may liquify on it's own and he may be able to drain it in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, would icing the area or heat on the area help shrink this? It is causing pain.
I am having a lumpectomy to remove a benign mass. I am a 32C with dense tissue, the mass is 2cm & 7cm from the nipple at 9 o'clock, do you think the breast will look noticeably different? I was told there may be some flattening in the area. What would be the best option if the results are not aesthetically pleasing? And any recommendations to help the scar fade fast? Thanks!
