My lumpectomy was combined with replacing my breast implants. I had saline implants and since I had to do 20 days of radiation they would not hold up and had to be switched to silicone. My cancer surgeon and the plastic surgeon worked on me at the same time to remove the cancer and replace the implants. The surgery was easy and there really wasn’t much recovery time. My surgeon did a fantastic job of filling in the tissue he had to remove to get the cancer out. My scar is minimal and I’m very happy with my decision to do a lumpectomy.
