Breast uplift on "good" side?

Hi ladies,

Further to my meeting with my PS about my reconstruction, I was asked if I wanted to have a breast lift done on the other side at the same time.  My first feeling was that I didn’t want any more scars, but now I’m wondering if I should.

The plastic surgeon said that they wouldn’t be moving my nipple, just lifting, so a scar around the nipple?   Has anyone had this done?  Was it worth it?  I’m losing my nipple and having a PAP flap recon on the other side.

@Jackie P 

I am sorry to hear the bad news about you getting covid just as you were due to have your Pap surgery.

I hope it goes ahead soon and you recover quickly.

What bad luck.
