Reconstruction DURING Lumpectomy

@polianad22 I had one lumpectomy and I wasn’t going to do reconstruction because I didn’t want two surgeries. When I found out the margins weren’t clear, I decided to have the lift/reduction the same time the surgeon removed the remaining margins.

My intention is the same.

How do you know that the margins are clean at the second lumpectomy? Don't you have to wait till the results come back from the pathology for the margins?
