I did. I was DDD+, and always wanted a breast reduction. Because I am TNBC, I did chemo first. 1 cm, no lymph node involvement. I was very lucky, and got complete pathological response, no cancer was left after chemo. Normally, my surgeon would take the clip, and the area around it. Because I was doing a reduction on the other side, she took half the breast, around the clip. When she was done, the plastic surgeon did reconstruction to match the reduced side. So happy with the results!

My plastic surgeon encouraged me to wait on the matching reduction on the other side. There was so much we didn’t know : would they get favorable margins, etc. I had all nodes removed-36 which made my recovery far more difficult than I anticipated. I was so glad that I wasn’t also working to heal on my right side. I can get the reduction anytime I choose, but for now I am happy with 2 different sized boobs. I don’t want to go through it again or to have the surgery fake feeling under my breast. I wear a a very supportive bra for my nodes and it fits my girls in with no notice of the difference in size. I do wish my natural breast was more perky, but I think I going to accept and love myself just the way I am!
