Round Block Mammoplasty

Hi there,

Looking for anyone who's had round block mammoplasty who wouldn't mind sharing experience of recovery and care please?

I will be having wide local excision and sentinel node biopsy with a round block mammoplasty.

Interested to know how people felt afterwards, how long did you take off work (I have it in my mind that I won't need time off if working from home), how long until you drove?

Thanks in advance :-)

 

  • Hello Hollibob

    I know that we have had ladies post here on the forum who have had a lumpectomy (also known as wide local excision) and/or a mammoplasty. 

    If you use the forum search function (magnifying glass in the blue bar) to search for the term "mammoplasty" you'll see a number of posts where ladies have shared their advice and experiences with others. Having read through some of the posts I'm sure you'll find it useful to see that many ladies have shared similar experiences post-surgery. 

    Best wishes,
