Thanks a lot for that reply, that’s exactly was I was thinking. My lumpectomy is in 10 days. Will I be able to know that in 2 weeks after lumpectomy if I need another surgery or I will be good without it (will there be swelling after lumpectomy ) The surgeon said he will prefer doing lift surgery before radiation they have scheduled lift surgery 2 weeks after lumpectomy.

I would definitely question the lift surgery. I had used a surgeon for my first 2 surgeries and after having some issues, I got a second opinion and had my most recent surgery with the new surgeon and am so thankful I did.
I would really encourage you to get a second opinion, before your Lumpectomy.
You will probably have some swelling after the Lumpectomy, but it shouldn’t be too much.
It is really odd to me that this surgeon already has a 2nd surgery scheduled for you without seeing the result of the Lumpectomy.
