Post-cancer different size breasts

[morganlefay]

Gents, if I were you I'd stop right there - we don't want you knowing all our secrets, do we ?
I had breast cancer 15 years ago and had a biggish lumpectomy. I am now completely fit and try not to think about it all any more. BUT the side which had the lump cut out is now quite a lot smaller than the other. I have looked at those nasty silicone 'chicken fillets' you put in your bra, but they seem terribly expensive, and look as if they would feel clammy. Then I thought about a little cotton bag of linseeds or something like that. Does anyone have an idea for an OS breast booster ?
(I feel quite uncomfortable writing this, but feel that if there is help to be had someone here might offer it !):o

Glad to hear you are completely recovered.

I use the "chicken fillets" when necessary- (Lets just say I was still a AA when breastfeeeding!) They can be chilly for the first minute or so but rapidly warm to body temperature and then I don't feel them at all. They also mould to your shape so they feel secure and most importantly stay put which is more than I can say for some other things I have tried!

My mother in law is post double mastectomy, she didn't take to the silicon falsies which feel like those silicone chicken fillets, but found some on ebay that were a much lighter foam and a lot less clammy. These are available as smaller fillets as well. They're listed as being for transvestites, though once you get to grips with that idea, there are many very good products listed the same.

Is reconstructive surgery not an option for you on the NHS due to the illness you had?
