Well my natural breasts are “average B” . Dr just said she would use some fatty tissue when she removes 1 or 2 lymph nodes and make it match closely to the other one (which I had a lumpectomy on 20+ years ago). So not expecting to look young and perky but at least more realistic with keeping the nipple. Curious why your attempt to save nipple didn’t work? For me this has just dragged on too long as I had bad advice in beginning and have been dealing with it over two years. Amazingly, the lump was the size of a small egg with a “tail” when I started taking the estrogen blockers 9 months ago; today Dr said she could not feel it at all. Only by the grace of God, I feel, have I been spared. All the best to you!

@buckokey I had microscopic pieces of cancer cells attache underneath nipple. I had to have a second surgery to remove nipple.
