  • Posted to Breast Reconstruction Timing on 19 Nov 2010

    Hello! I had BC stage IIB, with lumpectomy, axillary dissection chemo, and radiation. Path on 1st surgery came back neg while I was on table, then came back positive with 3 node involvement. So I was back on table for axillary. OUCH! That surgery was nasty with the drains..my breast did shrink from radiation, so I had surgery this past summer to make the other breast smaller. My plastic surgeon, my other hero, did a lift on my other breast, reset my nipple higher and I match now! I waited 18 months after radiation to do this, but I am so glad I did! Healing time was 6 weeks, very little pain and I cant even tell the nipple was relocated.WOW!
