@eervin Yes! I had a lumpectomy on right with breast lift on left. I’d do it again.
I was also conflicted with trying to decide beforehand. But the extra surgery was not a problem. No more discomfort, no extra pain. It is a little more limiting on not raising arms overhead on both sides. I wore button down shirts so nothing had to go over my head.
I had large breasts and glad to get rid of them. Although their goal was not to give me a reduction, but I went from a DD minimizer bra to a normal D.
