Hello @jfhpink
I had a reduction and lift after a lumpectomy. My plastic surgeon was able to use the same incision line as the surgical oncologist and continued on from there. He’s a younger plastic surgeon and used a technique that did not require drains afterwards, which reduced the chances of infection and a quicker recovery. The most uncomfortable part of recovery was the compression bra rubbing against the incisions, but as with everything, the pain/discomfort passed after a few weeks. Sleeping on my back was an adjustment and I placed a pillow under my arm on the same side as the lift, which was much more comfortable. I wish you well!
